Aston Villa vs Manchester United 15.01.2022

The league is back this weekend with another round of crucial matches, with Aston Villa facing a shaky Manchester United on Saturday.

The Villans have had their confidence drained over the past few games, losing 4 matches in their last 5 games. Steven Gerrard should be optimistic about getting back to full gear as both Ollie Watkins (five goals) and Danny Ings (four) return.

On the other hand, The Red Devils were outshot 19-9 by Wolves in a 1-0 loss last Monday, and despite their attacking talent, they have been sitting back to protect a leaky defense. United has scored just three more goals than it has allowed, and United has yielded 15 goals in its last 11 matches.

We anticipate a cagey encounter featuring not more than 3 total match goals.

Main tip: Under 3.5 Goals (go to tip details)
