Aston Villa Manchester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that Manchester City will win. Aston Villa has the home advantage, but they are also one of the most modest teams of the Premier League and can’t count on a few important players. On the other hand, Manchester City hasn’t had great away results, but they do have a great quality squad, which means they should take advantage of that to create many goal opportunities and win this match.
