Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction & Picks - Premier League

 by Stephen Abiola | in Premier League Picks

Aston Villa versus Manchester City is an EPL action on Saturday afternoon, December 21, at Villa Park. The Villains have continued where they left last season, enjoying a pretty solid campaign in the domestic league and on the European stage. However, they have a tight fixture, starting with high-flying Nottingham Forest before playing City, Newcastle, and Brighton this month. Coming out of these fixtures unscathed will boost their chances of playing European elite football next season. However, City won’t make it easy for them as they look to recover from their recent struggles and rejoin the title race. They are fourth in the EPL standing, 8 points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand. It’s definitely a trying period for Pep Guardiola and his men.

Our Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction

There has never been a better time for Aston Villa to beat City. The Citizens are struggling to win matches, picking up only one win in their last five league assignments and losing three. They could also crash out of the Champions League if they don’t beat Juventus on the road. Much of their struggles could be down to Rodri’s absence, who is out for the season with a knee injury. However, they have lost to Villa only once in the last 10 matches, with both teams scoring in six of the previous seven clashes. In addition, under 3.5 goals have been scored in the last five meetings between these sides. We expect Villa to go for the win this time around. Our prediction for Aston Villa vs Manchester City: Both teams to score.

Prediction:

 

Both teams to score.
