Man U vs. Aston Villa picks and predictions
Prediction
Aston Villa 1, Man U 1
Moneyline (ML)
LEAN DRAW (+260).
United hasn't found consistency yet, but they do compete well with top-tier sides. They lost 1-0 on the road to Newcastle United, beat Chelsea 2-1 at home and draw Liverpool 0-0 on the road all within the last 30 days. Villa has drawn 2 of their last 3 throughout all competitions and 2 of their last 5 league matches.
While neither team is prone to drawing, United has played well enough against top-tier sides to suggest it can hang with. Similarly, Villa has drawn 2 of 9 on the road. For this value, back DRAW (+260).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+125).
While Villa has had a dynamic attack for most of the season, they have scored 1 goal in 4 of their last 5 games and have gone Under this total in 4 of those 5 as well.
United's offense has also stalled, but they have a clean sheet in 4 of their last 8. United hasn't scored in 3 straight EPL matches and in 3 of their last 5. They have scored 2 or more goals just 5 times this season, so their offense hasn't been dynamic for the bulk of games.
Either attack is surging, so take UNDER 2.5 (+125).
