Manchester United vs Aston Villa Premier League Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Odds
Manchester United will look to tighten their grip on a Champions League berth when they host Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.
The standout matchup of the weekend sees third take on fourth, and plenty is riding on the outcome.
Ahead of the game, we’ve incorporated a slate of football betting tips for you to gorge on.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa Tips
Here are our top three betting tips and the best free bets ahead of Sunday's clash at Old Trafford.
Tip 1: Manchester United to Win to Nil
With only the league to focus on, United will have had 11 days to prepare for this clash. Despite a 2-1 defeat in their last outing away to Newcastle, which denoted Michael Carrick’s first loss as Red Devils boss, United look more assured these days.
For Villa, the United clash marks a critical juncture in the season as it is sandwiched between two legs of a Europa League last 16 tie against Lille, but their league form has been ropey.
With just one win to their name from their past six games (D2 L3), Villa are starting to drift at just the wrong time. Perhaps a dip in form was inevitable given they were in the title race for a few months.
Indeed, after a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in early November, Villa embarked on a run of 11 wins on the bounce, matching their best run as a top-flight team since March 1914.
Back to the here and now, and United will be hurting after their reverse to the Magpies. Glancing over past meetings, United have won two of the past three home league encounters against Villa to nil, so this is my first pick.
Tip 2: Highest Scoring Half (2nd Half)
If the previous encounter is anything to go by, we could be in for a rollercoaster of an afternoon.
Morgan Rogers came to the fore, popping up with a glorious double to stop United in their tracks at Villa Park, and he’s been superb this season.
Apart from that game, where there was only one goal scored in the second 45 minutes, the previous two meetings saw at least two goals netted in the second half.
I like a special, and the second half to be the highest scoring half has gravitas.
Tip 3: Manchester United to Win to Nil, Benjamin Sesko Anytime Scorer, Manchester United Over 7.5 Shots on Target
Under Carrick, United have made serious strides, and they could capitalise on Villa’s recent troubles. The home win to nil market is a good way to kick off your bet builder.
Although he fired blanks against Newcastle, Benjamin Sesko has been much sharper in front of goal, netting four times in his past six league appearances, so the Slovenian to hit the target anytime appeals.
Wrap things up with United to bombard Villa’s goal. Last time at Old Trafford, United managed 10 shots on target, so Over 7.5 shots on target is feasible.
