Aston Villa vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Aston Villa have been cooking with gas on their own patch of late, delivering six victories as part of a some matches unbeaten run, so confidence should be high coming into this contest. The same cannot be said for Manchester Utd, however, as the strugglers are winless in 10 away games at this elite level of the Premier League, suffering a worrying nine defeats along the way.

Aston Villa certainly know how to score goals at the top table of the Premier League, managing 34 in their last 19 matches and only failing to hit the back of the net on a couple of occasions. Given that over 2.5 goals have been served up in seven of the last nine Manchester Utd fixtures at this level, then it would be wise to expect more of the same when these sides collide.

Both teams have scored in 10 of the last 10 Manchester Utd away matches at this level, including in each of the previous seven, so it would be fair to label the promotion-chasers as entertaining to watch. Interestingly, the most recent eight Aston Villa home games in the Premier League have all delivered either two or three goals, with both teams on target in seven of these clashes.
