Aston Villa vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
After midweek’s elation, Villa Park will come to life again on Sunday afternoon when Aston Villa play host to Manchester United in the Premier League. The Villans enter this match in fifth place in the league standings, while the Red Devils are languishing down in 13th. Check out our prediction below!
While Aston Villa are the side on the up this season, they have won only one of their last 25 Premier League matches against Man United. That victory came in Unai Emery’s first game in charge of the club back in November 2022. United, meanwhile, have beaten Villa 40 times in the top flight - they have only bested Everton more often in the history of the Premier League (41).
Given Man United’s patchy form this season, it comes as little surprise to see them installed as the underdogs in this match, but can an under-pressure Erik ten Hag lead his side to a much-needed victory? Let’s get into the key stats in this one.

Aston Villa - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Aston Villa will be riding a wave of confidence entering this match, having overcome Bayern Munich in midweek here at Villa Park in the first European match played at the venue in over four decades.
That result extended the Villans' unbeaten run across all competitions to seven in a row. The only match they’ve lost this season was against Arsenal back in gameweek two of the league campaign.
The loss to the Gunners was also Villa’s only home defeat conceded this term. Since then, they have rattled off three consecutive victories, including scoring three goals apiece against Everton and Wolves in their two league fixtures.
Aston Villa have scored two or more goals in five of their six league games this season!
Meanwhile, Manchester United were also involved in European competition in midweek and played out a frenetic 3-3 draw away to Porto. In that match, United allowed a two-goal advantage to slip, were reduced to 10 men, and scored a stoppage-time equaliser.
With that, the Red Devils are now on a four-match winless run, including three draws and a loss. Their only victories this season were against newly promoted Southampton and lower-league Barnsley in the EFL Cup.
In three away games, United have split the results one win, one draw and one loss, though they have kept clean sheets in their last two outings. However, the Red Devils have only scored five goals this season, which is the second-worst record in the division.

Aston Villa & Manchester United Squad Analysis
While Aston Villa picked up the victory over the Bavarians in midweek, they also suffered two fresh injury blows, with Jacob Ramsey and Amadou Onana both unable to complete the match.
The midfield duo are now flagged as doubts for this weekend’s fixture. If unable to return in time, they will join the likes of John McGinn (hamstring), Robin Olsen (head), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Jaden Philogene (knock) and Tyrone Mings (cruciate ligament tear) on the sidelines.
Ollie Watkins has scored four goals in his last three Premier League games, while Jhon Duran has scored three in his last four.
Bruno Fernandes will be available for Man United this weekend after his red card against Spurs was overturned on appeal!
However, the Red Devils are still missing several players, including long-term absentees Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia, who are ruled out with a fractured metatarsal and serious knee injury respectively.
Luke Shaw is reportedly closing in on recovery from a calf problem but is still a few weeks away, while Kobbie Mainoo (muscle) and Mason Mount (head) are also considered doubts for this match.

Our Aston Villa vs Manchester United Prediction
Aston Villa have been in excellent form this season, particularly in attack, where they have already netted 12 goals in just six games, which is the third-best tally of any side in the division.
Man United, meanwhile, carry a decent attacking threat as we saw in midweek against Porto, but they have also shipped three goals in each of their last two matches in all competitions, indicating their defensive frailty. Therefore, our Aston Villa vs Manchester United prediction: Over 2.5!
