Aston Villa Betting Preview
Aston Villa currently sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up 28 points. Aston Villa has struggled a bit heading into this game, having lost two games in a row. In the last game against Manchester City, the offense scored a goal, but the defense gave up three goals and which led to the two-goal defeat. Ollie Watkins was the goalscorer in the 61st minute for Aston Villa. Diego Carlos is getting closer to returning, but he’s still not ready yet, and will be on the bench for this one.
Arsenal Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Arsenal who sits in second place in the standings having picked up 51 points. Arsenal has no confidence heading into this game and over their last three games they have picked up only one point. In the last game against Manchester City the defense gave up three goals and they looked awful in the second half. Arsenal had 64 percent of the possession but only had one shot on target. Thomas Partey is still recovering from a muscle injury and although he missed the last game there is still a chance he’s going to be able to go in this game.
Shane’s Free Play
Arsenal needs a win but I really don’t trust them to find a lot of success in this game. They have had issues scoring and getting shots on goal. In this game, Arsenal is going to struggle to get shots on goals again and that will be the difference here as Aston Villa is going to find some success. I’m not sure Aston Villa will win this game, but at worst they are going to play to a draw. Back Aston Villa +0.5.
