APWin Prediction

Manchester City Win

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Manchester City to win the 1st half

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Manchester City likely coming out on top away from home. Manchester City has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Aston Villa has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Manchester City to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate Aston Villa vs Manchester City to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 1.69 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.
