Manchester City-Aston Villa betting preview
Manchester City can take a giant stride toward the English Premier League title if they defeat Aston Villa at home on this Wednesday. They are still one point behind Liverpool. But unlike the Merseysiders, they have two games to go, not one. If they win this match, they can potentially win the crown with a draw against West Ham in the final day of the season. Aston Villa has struggled in recent times, but they are under no threat of relegation.
Liverpool’s twin setbacks in the last 10 days – first a defeat against Chelsea and then an unbelievable draw against Crystal Palace – have made City’s path towards the title wider. They have an excellent H2H record against Villa, save for their earlier match in the season, which they lost 3-2. Other than that, they have won five of the last six meetings.
Aston Villa’s win against Hull last week was their first win after six matches. Their lean run raised relegation fears. But they buried the fears with last week’s victory. City are in great spirits, after securing tough away win against Everton last week.
Sergio Agüero limped off after scoring a goal from the Everton clash. But he is fit and likely to play in this match. David Silva too regained his fitness.
In Christian Benteke’s injury-forced absence, Andreas Weimann and Gabriel Agbonlahor will lead Villa’s attack. The Liverpool fans will be hoping that they will have a terrific game.
Manchester City-Aston Villa Prediction
City look unstoppable at the moment. It will be a seismic upset if Aston Villa manage to win this match.
