Aston Villa vs Arsenal – Betting Analysis
Looking at their previous head-to-head matches dating back to July 21, 2020, it appears that these two clubs have never lost a match, with Aston Villa winning three times, Arsenal winning three, and 0 games ending in a draw.
During those matchups, they combined for 13 goals, with 7 coming from The Villans and 6 from The Gunners. 2.17 goals have been scored on average each game.
Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon rupture) and Bertrand Traoré (knee injury) won’t be able to play for Aston Villa manager Unai Emery.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, must select a team with a constrained roster. Both Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny cannot play due to knee injuries.
Although we believe Aston Villa has what it takes to defeat this Arsenal team, we don’t believe that one goal will be as significant as the goals they might allow.
