Aston Villa vs Manchester United Preview

Aston Villa is in 18^th place, with four points off the safety zone. Two nights ago, Watford, their biggest rival for staying in the Prem, won against Norwich. The good news for Aston Villa is that West Ham got defeated by Burnley last night.

Nevertheless, Aston Villa would need a real wonder in order to avoid relegation. It’s not just because this team is in a poor form (3 defeats in 5 previous matches), but also because their fixture list looks pretty difficult. The good news, however, is that the toughest of the five remaining fixtures is the one happening tonight.

If they do well in this game, the Villans would then be more confident of doing well in the upcoming matches. The trouble is that Manchester United has been in a sensational form. This team looks unstoppable on its way to the Champions League, with three wins and one draw (with Tottenham) since the Premier League resumed after COVID-19 hiatus.

FatCatBet Betting Prediction

In the previous three matches, Man United has scored a total of 11 goals, more than any other team in the league. They look superb in the midfield, with Fernandes and Pogba orchestrating every game. Aston Villa just doesn’t seem to have what it takes to take the ball away from these guys.

The Red Devils are bound to have the ball in their possession for the most of the time, while the Villans are going to look for their chances from counter-attacks. Knowing that Man United has some injury problems at the back, it wouldn’t be surprising if the team from Birmingham managed to score at least once.

Nevertheless, that shouldn’t be enough for Aston Villa to win even a single point. No matter how much the Villans score, the Red Devils are going to outscore them.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United Prop Bet Ideas

Since returning back from his injury, Paul Pogba has been brilliant. He and Bruno Fernandes seem to have clicked brilliantly. The Portuguese midfielder has been scoring and making assists all over the place. The French superstar, however, is yet to score a goal in the post-COVID-19 Premier League.

That’s exactly what FatCatBet thinks might happen this evening. Paul Pogba’s goal draught has lasted for too long. He’s craving for goals and tonight could be the night when he quenches his goal thirst.
