Aston Villa vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 16/02/2023, 06:30 by Devesh Jaganath | Modified on 16/02/2023 at 09:08 in Premier League Prediction

Aston Villa will be looking to add to the concerns of their opponents when they welcome Arsenal to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon for a match of huge significance in the Premier League. After looking unbeatable for much of the season, Arsenal has begun to show signs of weakness in recent weeks and will want to bounce back to winning ways in this match, but they come up against their former manager and master tactician, Unai Emery, that has already orchestrated a few massive upsets this season. The stage is set for an entertaining, high-stakes match that could shape the rest of the season at the top of the table.

Despite their recent dip in form, Arsenal is still a strong enough outfit to come into the match as the overwhelming favourite at odds of 1.8 on most bookmaker odds. This comes as little surprise since most would expect the Gunners to bounce back strongly in this match. A draw is returning a worthwhile 3.4 on average and seems the most likely outcome if Arsenal were to fluff their lines. A win for the home side is the outside bet on the card, returning in the region of 4.5 for its backers. Those that fancy both teams to score will be able to find odds of around 1.8, or you could go for the combination of Arsenal winning and both teams scoring for a very attractive 4.2.

Aston Villa - Arsenal: Form Analysis

After shooting out the blocks in the first half of the season, Arsenal found themselves well clear of the rest and looked destined to lift the trophy at the end of the season. However, since the new year, their form has taken a dip for the worse, winning just two of their last six matches in the league, along with two draws and two losses. Their poor recent form has seen the Gunners relinquish the top spot in the league to Manchester City after losing to them 3-1 in midweek. Arteta and his side does have a game in hand on the defending champions, but they cannot afford any more slip-ups considering they still have a number of difficult matches to come, including a trip to the Ethiad later this season. Meanwhile, Aston Villa got their season off to a slow start, and after a poor run of results, decided to part ways with Steven Gerrard, who was replaced with Unai Emery in October last year. Emery has certainly made a difference since his arrival and has gotten his team into 11th place in the league with 28 points in 22 matches, hot on the heels of Chelsea and Liverpool above them. Over their last six matches, Aston Villa won three, drew one, and lost two. The last time these sides met, Arsenal emerged as 2-1 winners and will do everything in their power to come away with another victory in this one.

Aston Villa & Arsenal Squad Analysis

Aston Villa will be without the services of Diego Carlos and Jed Steer as the pair continue to work their way back to full fitness following long-term injuries. However, Emery will be happy to welcome back Bertrand Traore from his knee injury, while Tyrone Mings should be returned to the starting lineup after missing the last match. After missing the crucial encounter against Manchester City in midweek, Thomas Partey could return to the engine room for Arsenal in this one but will need to undergo a late fitness test. Jorginho played well in his absence and will likely be his replacement again if Partey is not passed fit to play. Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Jesus, and Mohamed Elneny are all likely to remain sidelined as they recover from long-term injuries. Ben White and Leandro Trossard will also be hoping for a starting role after featuring on the bench in midweek.

Our Aston Villa vs Arsenal Prediction

Aston Villa could not have chosen a better time to come up against Arsenal than right now. The home side has scored in their last eight matches in all competitions, and Arsenal has shown a few defensive frailties in recent weeks. However, the Gunners will know that there is no margin for error, and that may be just the motivation they need to get back to winning ways after a poor spell. This should be an entertaining watch for the neutrals with lots of chances at both ends, but we fancy the visitors to rise to the occasion. Our Aston Villa v Arsenal prediction is a win for Arsenal.
