Manchester City vs Aston Villa: betting tip (cf 5.40) and bets on the English Premier League match

Current form

Manchester City could not keep up the intrigue in the fight for gold awards with Arsenal until the last round. The day before, the townspeople had a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth and now, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming meeting, they will remain in second place. Nevertheless, the team did not remain without titles this season, they managed to win the League Cup and the FA Cup.

The era of Josep Guardiola in the Manchester City camp has come to an end. The Spaniard will not be in charge of the team next season. In 10 years under his leadership, we managed to win 20 trophies, which is more than a solid result. Today he will play his last match at the helm of the team, it is a special moment for the players and fans, it is definitely impossible to lose on such a day, despite the lack of tournament motivation.

Overall, the season has been mixed for Manchester City. Cup successes, of course, arouse great respect, but still, they relied primarily on the Champions League and the Premier League. In the Champions League, Real Madrid became an insurmountable barrier, and in the Premier League they failed to catch up with Arsenal, which did not flinch at the end of this season. It should be noted that the townspeople are usually powerful on their own field, where they won 14 out of 18 matches in the Premier League.

Current form

Aston Villa ends the season on a positive note. During the week, Birmingham confidently, matter-of-factly won 3-0 against Freiburg in the Europa League final. Unai Emery has won his fifth trophy of this tournament, and he has no equal here. Next season, the lions will storm the Champions League, where the level of competition is many times higher.

The Lions got a ticket to the main European club tournament not only through the Europa League, but also through the Premier League. Moreover, they did it more than spectacularly, outplaying Liverpool in the last round on their own field with a score of 4:2. By the time they leave for Manchester, Aston Villa are in fourth place, with a three-point lead over the Merseysiders. If Birmingham lose today and Liverpool win their match, then Arne Slot's team will be on the fourth line, as they have a better goal difference.

During the season, Aston Villa had a good chance of finishing in the top three, where they had been for a while. However, towards the end of the season, it was not possible to avoid a decent decline, which Manchester United took advantage of. It is characteristic that many of the failures of the lions came at guest meetings. This is not the first season that this has been a problem. In 18 away games in the Premier League, Birmingham scored only 20 points, which is only the tenth figure. Right now, they're on a six-match winning streak in other arenas. Even Burnley failed to win last time (2-2).
