Arsenal vs Aston Villa – Match Predictions & Betting Tips

Last Updated on

,

Arsenal aim to maintain their Premier League title ambitions as they gear up to face Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 18 January.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Betting Suggestions

  • Place a bet on a draw – 4.50 at Betway.
  • Wager on a 1-1 result – 8.00 at Betway.
  • Stake on both teams scoring – 1.95 at Betway.

Place a Bet on a Draw

This match promises to be engaging. Arsenal have not performed to their expectations this season. After narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City last season, this year seemed like a prime opportunity with City not performing at their usual best.

Currently, the Gunners are in second place, trailing the top team, Liverpool, by six points. Aston Villa will present a strong challenge for them in this encounter.

Villa boasts an impressive attacking lineup that includes Jhon Duran, a highly-touted striker globally, and Ollie Watkins, who might soon challenge Harry Kane for England’s top striker spot. This match promises to be closely contested and may very well conclude in a draw. 

Bet on the Game to End 1-1 

With the home advantage, Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, are expected to control possession throughout the encounter. Yet, their defense will need to stay vigilant. Watkins and Duran pose significant threats, particularly on counter-attacks.

Duran shows signs of becoming one of the world’s elite strikers, attracting attention from major football clubs by the season’s end. Villa might capitalise on the defensive issues that have troubled Arsenal this season, potentially securing a draw from this matchup. 

Bet on Both Teams to Score 

One of Arsenal’s key vulnerabilities is their lack of a true, complete number nine. Despite dominating possession and their home-ground advantage, they are likely to net at least one goal. Nonetheless, Duran’s emerging talent and skill could lead him to score for Villa, even against the game’s general flow.
