Haaland To Score & Watkins To Score
Aston Villa vs Manchester City Preview & Prediction
Looking to end a domestic run of three successive draws in the Premier League, Manchester City travel to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.
Despite taking the lead twice on Sunday, the Cityzens were pegged back by Tottenham and eventually played out a 3-3 stalemate, following on from 1-1 and 4-4 draws against Liverpool and Chelsea in the league.
Pep Guardiola‘s side head into the gameweek four points behind league leaders Arsenal in fourth, with the Villans hot on their tail just a point behind in fifth after drawing against Bournemouth at the weekend.
Unai Emery‘s side actually boast the best home record in the English top flight thus far this term, with six wins from six, however City’s visit will likely be the toughest challenge of them all.
We at SportsLens believe this one could go either way, but when considering Villa’s home form as well as the Cityzens’ recent trend of drawing matches – we are backing a score draw at Villa Park.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2-2 Manchester City
Aston Villa vs Manchester City Betting Tips
- Erling Haaland To Score Anytime @ 8/11
- Ollie Watkins To Score Anytime @ 2/1
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 9/2
Aston Villa vs Manchester City Betting Tip 1: Erling Haaland To Score Anytime @ 8/11
Our first tip for your Wednesday evening Aston Villa vs Manchester City bet builder is to back the division’s top scorer Erling Haaland to score at anytime, priced at 8/11.
The Norwegian grabbed an assist but failed to score against Spurs on Sunday evening, which ended his run of scoring in four successive matches for the Cityzens.
Haaland is set for another record breaking campaign with 19 goals to his name in all competitions already, with eight of those (as well as three assists) coming in his last seven matches, and we at SportsLens are backing him to build on his excellent goalscoring form by scoring at anytime at Villa Park.
Aston Villa vs Manchester City Betting Tip 2: Ollie Watkins To Score Anytime @ 2/1
Another who is no stranger to finding the back of the net in the English top flight this term is Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins, who now has eight goals and six assists in 14 appearances this term.
The England international was a doubt heading into the weekend’s clash against Bournemouth, but after being deemed fit to start – he assisted Leon Bailey’s opener before finding the all-important equaliser in the 90th minute.
That goal now means Watkins has scored in four straight matches for Emery’s side in all competitions, and at 2/1 – you can back him to extend that to five successive matches by scoring at anytime against City on Wednesday.
