Aston Villa take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, October 6th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa show consistently good results. Nearly two years ago, Aston Villa managed to bring in Unai Emery. After his disappointing stint at Arsenal, Emery was eager to prove that he wasn’t given enough time in the Premier League. His new project took off quickly: after joining mid-season, he guided Villa to a 7th-place finish. In 2023/2024, the club from Birmingham progressed from the summer qualifiers of the Conference League all the way to the spring playoffs, finishing 4th in the Premier League, surpassing Tottenham, and earning a spot in the Champions League. They debuted with a confident 3-0 win against Young Boys. Against Bayern Munich, a single goal, along with crucial saves from Emiliano Martínez, was enough for another victory. In the Premier League, they’ve also secured several wins, though there was a 0-2 defeat against Arsenal. Last round, they had to settle for a 2-2 draw with Ipswich.

Manchester United began working with Erik ten Hag in 2022. His first year was quite successful, as United finished third in the Premier League and won a domestic cup. However, things took a downturn afterward. United finished last in their Champions League group and dropped to 8th place in the Premier League, which seemed like a death sentence for Ten Hag. Nevertheless, he redeemed himself by winning the FA Cup. The club made significant signings like Zirkzee, De Ligt, and Mazraoui under Ten Hag’s leadership, and spent a substantial amount on Yoro, who got injured almost immediately. They also signed Ugarte on deadline day. Despite these reinforcements, United has dropped many points, even against teams like Crystal Palace and Twente in the Europa League. They’ve lost heavily to stronger teams like Brighton, Liverpool, and Tottenham, falling 0-3 at home to the latter two. On Thursday, after taking an early 2-0 lead against Porto, they could only manage a 3-3 draw.
The last four encounters have all ended in victories for Manchester United. It's hard to trust Ten Hag and his team at the moment—they seem to be struggling once again. Therefore, the bet is on Unai Emery’s side to win with a "Draw No Bet" option.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win with 0.0 handicap.
