Aston Villa hosts Manchester United in round 22 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 15th at Villa Park (Birmingham)
In the previous round, Aston Villa lost to Brentford in London (2-1). That defeat was the first for the Lions under the management of Steven Gerrard, if we exclude top opponents. The Villains have played only 19 games in the current Premier League, so they have two matches in hand. Aston Villa is on the 14th line in the standings with 22 points scored. The gap from the relegation zone is 11 points. The team earned 13 points in nine home matches. All indicators of the Lions at Villa Park look like this: four victories, one draw, and four defeats with a goal difference of 15-14. Six cases ended with Over 2.5 goals scored, and the exchange of goals was recorded in the same number of matches.

Manchester United played its last match in the Premier League on January 3rd. The Red Devils lost to Wolverhampton at Old Trafford (0-1). That defeat was the first for the team under the management of Ralph Rangnick. And the Mancunians are indecently low in the standings, namely, on the 7th line. After 19 rounds, they have 31 points in their assets, but their two games were postponed, and victories in them may allow the team to reduce the gap to the Champions League zone to only two points. In the current Premier League season, Manchester United is doing quite well on foreign pitches: four victories, three draws, and two defeats with a goal difference of 13-12. Six out of nine away matches ended with an exchange of goals scored.
In the first round of the current Premier League draw, Aston Villa minimally won at Old Trafford (0-1). But six of the last seven head-to-head matches at Villa Park ended in victories for the Red Devils. I think that after the defeat to Brentford, the Lions will make every effort to regain their good name. They may well cause problems for the Red Devils at their native stadium. Moreover, the Mancunians have not looked so confident lately. Yes, Manchester United wins more often under the management of Rangnick, but the team demonstrates very mediocre football and relies more on defense. The Villains are trying to play aggressive football. And we may say that the team does it quite well. I think it's worth betting on an exchange of goals in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
