🏆 Arsenal vs Aston Villa: Who Will Win?

You have to go back to the 21st of February to find the last time that Arsenal lost a game of football - this was a close 1-0 defeat to Porto in the UEFA Champions League. Since then, they have won six and drawn two of the Premier League matches that they have played in. To say that they are a team in form would be a huge understatement. In their previous league match, they travelled down to Brighton and won 3-0 - The Seagulls had been undefeated in 12 home matches.

Aston Villa have had a wonderful season, but it has gone a little bit off the boil lately. This is quite understandable considering the number of injuries that they currently have to key players. Heading into the back end of the season, they are still battling it out for a Champions League spot and will qualify for the Europa Conference League semi-finals if they manage to avoid defeat in Lille. They were 2-0 up against Brentford in their last EPL game, but had to settle for a 3-3 draw - they cannot afford to be that lackadaisical against a rampant Arsenal.

Although I do believe that Villa will give Arsenal a good game, I can see nothing but a win for the home team since they are in top form at present. A defeat for Villa could put a serious dent in their Champions League chances, especially if Spurs beat Newcastle. I think Arsenal will win this match 3-1.

💯 Arsenal vs Aston Villa Match Odds

Arsenal played Aston Villa on the 9th of December, and Villa came away with all three points thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win. The Gunners had the better of the chances throughout the match, but their profligacy in front of goal ended up costing them dearly. The only goal of the game was scored by John McGinn in the 7th minute. Arsenal thought they had earned a late point when Kai Havertz bundled the ball home, but it was ruled out, rightly so, for the use of an arm.

There will be plenty of bets placed on this upcoming fixture between the two teams, and you will be able to find plenty of markets and competitive odds at many established and new UK betting sites. Not all bookies have been created equally, so below I have given you the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match odds from five of my favourite betting sites.

🏅 Arsenal vs Aston Villa: Match Winner Odds

With the form that Arsenal are in and the players that they have at their disposal, it is little wonder that they are the big favourites for this match. However, I do think that the odds are a little bit harsh on Villa and that they have more of a chance of getting something from the match than the bookies are suggesting. Check out the match winner odds in the following table and make up your own mind on the matter:

Team
Arsenal	1.27	1.27	1.30	1.26	1.27
Draw	5.90	5.90	6.00	6.00	6.00
Aston Villa	9.20	9.20	10.00	10.00	10.00

⚽ Arsenal vs Aston Villa: Both Teams To Score Odds

In most Aston Villa matches this season, the bookmakers have been quite confident that they would find the back of the net. However, they are somewhat sitting on the fence this time, although they are slightly favouring the BTTS option. Arsenal's defence has been extremely solid this season, so their indecisiveness is understanding. If you like to try your luck with the BTTS market, then check out the odds below:

BTTS
Yes	1.84	1.84	1.80	1.81	1.87
No	1.90	1.90	1.91	1.83	1.89

🥅 Arsenal vs Aston Villa: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds

While the bookies are unsure as to whether both Arsenal and Aston Villa will score in this match, they are pretty certain that there will be over 2.5 goals scored in this match. They are also quite sure that there will be under 3.5 goals. These odds, alongside the ones that I provided above, tell us that the bookmakers believe that Arsenal will win this match either by a 2-1 scoreline or a 3-0 scoreline. Check out the over/under 2.5 goals odds below:

Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Over 2.5	1.44	1.44	1.48	1.42	1.44
Under 2.5	2.60	2.60	2.65	2.60	2.63

1️⃣Arsenal Update

Heading into last weekend, the ball was in Liverpool's court as they knew that they would be crowned Champions if they won all of their remaining matches. However, despite being called "mentality monster", Klopp's men blew it at the first time of asking by drawing 2-2 with Manchester United. Thus, heading into this weekend, the ball is in Arsenal's court as winning all of their remaining matches should see them go on and claim their first EPL title in years.

With the form that they have been showing, I would not put it past them to go on and lift the title this season. From the previous 30 points that have been on offer in the last ten games, they have managed to pick up 28 - their only dropped points came in a boring 0-0 draw with Manchester City. During this time, they have averaged 3.30 goals per match while conceding just 0.40. You can see their five previous league results below:

Arteta can count his lucky stars when it comes to the treatment room as he only has one player missing at present for this clash with Villa. You can see who that is in the following table:

2️⃣Aston Villa Update

If, at the beginning of the season, you had offered Villa fifth place in the EPL table and a draw/win away from a spot in the Conference League final come April they would have taken the offer without a second thought. Unai Emery has done wonders with this team, and they can be proud of their season even if they do end up just missing out on a spot in next season's Champions League. If they recruit wisely in the summer, then there is no reason why they cannot have another assault on the top four during the 2023/24 campaign. It is an exciting time to be a Villa supporter.

They are sitting in 7th place in the form table, having picked up five wins, two draws, and three defeats in their previous ten matches. During this time, they have averaged 2.20 goals per match while conceding 1.90. For me, they are conceding too many, but injuries are not helping the cause. Check out their five last EPL results below:

Emery, even though pundits like to brush it under the proverbial carpet, have had plenty of injury issues to deal with all throughout the season. This makes their position in the league an even bigger achievement. You can see their absentees in the table below:
