Hibernian vs Aston Villa Betting Tip 1: Aston Villa to win @ 1/4 with BetUK

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa may have been on the end of heavy defeat in their opening Premier League game of the season, however they bounced back in style at the weekend by shipping four past Everton in a 4-0 rout at Villa Park.

John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey and late substitute Jhon Duran were all on the scoresheet as the Villans dispatched of an underwhelming Everton side with ease.

Hibernian on the other hand, fell to a second consecutive defeat in the Scottish Premiership last week, earning a total of zero points from a possible six thus far.

They got back to winning ways at the weekend though, but only by a small 2-1 margin to weaker opposition in the form of Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers in the second round of the Scottish League Cup.

Hibs also recorded an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Andorran outfit Inter Club d’Escaldes in the second qualifying round of the Conference League, before overturning the deficit with a 6-1 victory at home in the second leg.

Due to the Scots’ poor displays at domestic level, and their unpredictable form in Europe, coupled with the Villans’ merciless triumph at the weekend – we’re backing an Aston Villa win at 1/4.

Hibernian vs Aston Villa Betting Tip 2: Over 2.5 goals @ 1/2 with BetUK

We at SportsLens are backing over 2.5 goals in Wednesday’s first leg fixture at Easter Road – and it’s clear to see why. All nine competitive matches involving the pair this season have gone over 2.5 goals, with 10 goals being scored in just two Aston Villa matches.

Hibs have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their seven competitive matches so far this term, and have also seen 18 goals scored in their four European outings in the competition’s second and third qualifying rounds.

Not only have both of Villa’s competitive games so far this season gone over 2.5 goals, but so did four of their six pre-season matches.

So off the back of a big scoreline at the weekend, we’re backing Aston Villa to run rampant north of the border, and to keep the trend going with over 2.5 goals scored in this evening’s clash at 1/2.

Hibernian vs Aston Villa Betting Tip 3: John McGinn to score anytime @ 17/5 with BetUK

Our third and final tip for Wednesday evening’s clash is for ex-Hibernian midfielder John McGinn to score anytime against his former club.

The Scottish international spent three years at Easter Road between 2015 and 2018, where he made over 100 league appearances and scored 12 goals.

McGinn opened the scoring against Everton at the weekend with his first goal of the campaign, and provided an excellent performance in midfield to help inspire his side to a comfortable victory.

With an emotional attachment, and a likelihood of having the home support on his back, we’re backing McGinn to silence the crowd by scoring anytime in this evening’s Conference League clash at 17/5.
