LiontipsAston Villa vs Manchester City: betting tip (cf 2.45) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Aston Villa entered the new season uncertainly, and won their first victory in the Premier League only in the sixth round. Nevertheless, Unai Emery managed to improve the game of his players, gave them a five-match winning streak in the Premier League and in the Europa League. However, last week there was a big fiasco. In the third round of LE on the road, the Birmingham team was defeated by a score of 1:2 from the modest by all standards Go Ehead Eagles. Undoubtedly, this failure did not complicate the task of fighting for the top 8 too much, because before that there were two Victorias, but still such a failure is alarming on the eve of the battle with Manchester City.
In the Premier League, due to the disastrous start, Aston Villa is only in 11th place. Even three wins in a row did not allow us to enter at least the top 10 to begin with. Birmingham scored 12 points, lagging behind the top four, where the team is aiming, is four points.
In the last round, Aston Villa scored an important 2-1 victory over Tottenham on the road, despite the fact that the opponent scored first. The game itself was pretty boring, but it was the Birmingham team that clearly realized their few moments: two shots on target, two goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Thielemans, Garcia and Digne will not help their team due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

Approximate composition: Martinez – Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen – Onana, Kamara – Gessan, Rogers, McGinn – Watkins.
Current form
Two defeats in a row against Tottenham and Brighton back in August were a turning point for Manchester City. Next, the wards of Josep Guardiola issued a series of nine matches without defeats, taking into account all tournaments. In this segment, there were draws with Arsenal (1:1) and Monaco (2:2). In the remaining seven matches, the team celebrated victories. We can definitely say that with each new match, the townspeople look more and more like themselves from the season before last, for example. Holand is fine, and the star newcomers have gradually integrated into the tactical formations.
In the Premier League standings, Manchester City rose to second place on the eve of the start of the ninth round and is three points behind Arsenal. True, Sunderland won their match on Saturday and got mixed up between the grandees, but if they win today, the townspeople will bypass an unexpected contender for high places. In the last round, Guardiola's team beat Everton 2-0 thanks to Holand's double. This victory was the third in a row in the Premier League.
Last week in the Champions League, the Townspeople defeated Villarreal 2-0 away, scoring two goals in the first half. Again, it was not without the participation of Holland, who opened the account in that meeting. With seven points scored after three rounds, Manchester City occupies seventh place in the overall table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodri and Husanov are injured and will not play today. N. Gonzalez's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Manchester City have won in the first half.
- In three consecutive matches with the participation of the townspeople, there was no exchange of goals scored.
- No more than three goals have been scored in six of Manchester City's last seven Premier League matches.
Approximate composition: Donnarumma – Nunez, Dias, Ake, Ait-Nuri – Kovacic – Marmush, Foden, Reynders, Doku – Holland.

9.20Tip and bets
In the previous two face-to-face matches, Aston Villa achieved victories on their own field, but we think that this series will be interrupted today. As the match of the week in the Europa League showed, it is still difficult for Birmingham to keep a consistently high level of play, and without this it is not easy to claim high places in the Premier League. Manchester City is almost at its peak here and now. The attack began to clearly fulfill its immediate responsibilities, first of all, Holand stands out. The most important thing is that the townspeople stopped missing unnecessary balls, they don't give their opponents much chance to win back, it's no coincidence that they scored six of their last seven victories with a dry score. We expect Manchester City to continue their winning streak and chase Arsenal to the top of the table.
Our betting tip is for Manchester City to win by a factor of 1.82
Bet on the total
Manchester City, taking into account all the tournaments, won three matches in a row and in none of them more than two goals were scored. More and more often, you can see pragmatic football among the citizens, when they secure an advantage in the opening 45 minutes and then do not seek to develop success at any cost. We think it's not worth waiting for a scoring extravaganza today.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.65
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
This season, crushing victories by Manchester City are a rarity: the citizens have scored five of their eight victories with a handicap of one or two goals. Aston Villa is unlikely to allow itself a major setback on its own field.
Prediction – Manchester City will win by one or two goals with a coefficient of 2.45
