Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Aston Villa vs Arsenal

Aston Villa

Aston Villa beat West Ham away in the first round of the English championship and confirmed their serious intentions to remain a formidable force in this season's Premier League. Last season, Unai Emery's men finished in the top 4 and will soon start and participate in the Champions League.

It will be interesting to see how Aston Villa cope with such a busy schedule and play on several fronts, but for now all thoughts of the team are occupied with the upcoming match against Arsenal. The Birmingham team knows how to play against the Londoners, so at their home stadium they will make every effort to take points from the favorites.

Arsenal

Arsenal started the new season of the English Premier League with a 2-0 home win over Wolverhampton. The Gunners showed a good game despite defensive errors and managed to take all three points. There is no reason to doubt that Mikel Arteta's men will fight for gold medals in this campaign.

The Gunners have a tough away match against Aston Villa ahead of them, who the Londoners managed to lose to twice in the last competition. Arsenal will go into the new match with their strongest line-up and will try to prove that the result of the previous two matches against the Birmingham team was just a ridiculous accident.

Game Totals Prediction

This will be the main match of the second round of the English championship, in which the teams that took a place in the top-4 of the tournament table last season will play. In addition, both Aston Villa and Arsenal started the new season with victories, which means they will clearly be determined to build on their success. In the last campaign, the Birmingham team unexpectedly beat the Gunners twice, so now the Londoners will be motivated to take revenge on their opponent, led by former Arsenal coach Emery. A working and modest option for a forecast seems to be a bet on "both teams to score" for 1.66 from the bookmaker 1xbet.
