Aston Villa vs. Manchester City Premier League Soccer Picks, Best Bets and Odds 12/1/2021

Aston Villa and Manchester City face off on Wednesday in a college basketball showdown at Villa Park. When these two teams faced off in April of 2021 and Manchester City came away with the 2-1 victory. 

Manchester City currently sits in 2nd place in the standings having picked up 29 points. Manchester City has been quite impressive this season, and in the last game against West Ham they won 2-1. Two games ago against Everton, Manchester City scored three goals while giving up zero goals. Manchester City has scored 27 goals total while their defense has given up seven goals. Bernardo Silva has been the top player for Manchester City scoring four goals and adding another assist. İlkay Gündoğan and Phil Foden have also both scored three goals and added another assist. 

On the other side of this matchup is Aston Villa who sits in 13th place in the standings having picked up 16 points. Aston Villa got out to a slow start but they are playing better as of late winning two games in a row. In the last game against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa jumped out o a 2-0 victory, and even though they gave up a goal in the 95th minute there wasn’t really any doubt they were winning the game. Aston Villa has scored 18 goals total while their defense has given up 21 goals. John McGinn has been the top player for Aston Villa scoring three goals and an assist. Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings will also find success scoring three goals. 

Manchester City is going to find success in this game with their offense, and Aston Villa will also add a goal or two. I like the over at 2.5 but I would also bet it all the way up to 3.5 for the extra value.
