Arsenal vs Aston Villa Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Aston Villa will be further emboldened when they make the trip to the Capital to face title rivals Arsenal on Tuesday evening.
Yes, Villa, who triumphed in a 2-1 come-from-behind win last weekend away to Chelsea, are just three points behind the pacesetters Arsenal, who held their nerve to overcome Brighton 2-1 at home.
But can Villa complete a league double in the red half of North London? Rest assured, we’ve got a fine selection of tips and free bets to chew over ahead of kick-off.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa Tips
Here are our selection of betting tips to weigh up before kick-off.
Tip 1: Aston Villa to Win & BTTS
Aston Villa are soaring to new heights, and while it seems stupendous to label them as title challengers, that is exactly what they are.
Each week, they are cementing further belief that they can emulate the exploits of Leicester City, who, against all odds, lifted the Premier League in 2016.
Arsenal, let’s not forget though, have only conceded 11 times this season, making them the meanest defence in the league.
But under Unai Emery, Villa are flying, as they have won 11 games in a row in all competitions, and that included a 2-1 victory over the Gunners at Villa Park earlier this month. Of course, we can’t escape the irony if Emery were to guide Villa to the title in May and pip his former employers in the process.
Villa are undefeated in their past two visits to the Emirates. While the odds seem a bit long, I can see them coming away with all three points, and the BTTS line could be hit too.
Tip 2: Total Goals Over 3.5
Games between Villa and Arsenal are usually pulsating. The most recent match was an extraordinary turnaround from Emery’s charges, and Emiliano Buendia’s stunning late strike sent the Villa faithful into delirium.
Arsenal have only scored four more league goals (33) than Villa (29) this term, and in the past two meetings, the Over 2.5 goals line has been fulfilled.
I’ve gone a bit bolder this time, and I’m swayed by Over 3.5 goals, which surprisingly has a shortish price attached to it.
Tip 3: Ollie Watkins to Score Anytime, Aston Villa to Win, Over 3.5 Goals
A double from Ollie Watkins took his league tally to five for the campaign. The striker has hit the target on each of his past two visits to the Emirates, so he could well score anytime.
Villa are underrated, but they have taken points off the big boys this season, and they will be motivated to the double over Arsenal, so they could seal another priceless win.
Clashes between Arsenal and Villa are rarely drab affairs, and there is bound to be plenty of goalmouth action. I’ve signed off this bet builder with the Over 3.5 goals line.
