Arsenal vs Aston Villa performance analysis
As the season entered its sprint phase, Arsenal, instead of being out of breath as usual, still maintained remarkable strength. The Gunners’ strength was clearly shown through the draw with big rival Bayern with a score of 2-2 in the quarter-final first leg of the 2023/24 Champions League. This is the team that crushed Arsenal with the same score of 5-1 in the last 3 previous encounters, but this time they can no longer bully coach Mikel Arteta’s team.
That is in the continental arena, while in the domestic tournament Arsenal is the team ranked highest in the Premier League rankings. At the country’s No. 1 playground, the North London representative flew high with a record of 10 wins in the past 11 matches. Arsenal’s only draw was also very impressive, because they earned 1 point when they had to be away at the field of defending champion Man City.
With their current impressive form, Arsenal has plenty of reason to be confident when welcoming Aston Villa, despite the fact that their opponents are also in the top 5 rankings. In terms of performance, Aston Villa has only won 3/7 recent matches, of course they cannot compare with Arsenal. If only considering away performance, this team is very unlucky as they have not won in all 3 recent trips away from home.
In the first leg, Aston Villa excellently surpassed Arsenal with a minimum score, but they were still far behind their opponents in terms of head-to-head performance. The evidence is that in 185 previous clashes with Arsenal, Aston Villa lost 81 times and only won 65 matches.
Latest Arsenal vs Aston Villa force information
For the first time since the beginning of the tournament, Arsenal has the strongest force when preparing to enter the next match. The reason is because the rookie suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the opening match and Jurrien Timber has recovered. For their part, the slightly injured couple Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are also ready to return.
On the away team’s side, neither Lenglet, Cash, Mings nor Kamara were healthy enough to play, while Luiz had to serve a suspension.
Expected lineup Arsenal vs Aston Villa
- Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Magalhaes, Kiwior; Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
- Aston Villa (4-4-1-1): Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Bailey, Tielemans, Luiz, Rogers; McGinn; Watkins
Bookmaker odds for the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match
- The home team wins the first half: While Aston Villa is having a series of 3 consecutive first-half losses when playing away, Arsenal has won the first half in 4/5 of the past matches. When Arsenal has such good fortune, investors should support them in the first round.
- Over all matches: All 3 recent matches of Aston Villa were over. The last 8/11 matches between Arsenal and Aston Villa also took place in a similar scenario, so there is a high possibility that the next match will have many goals.
- Under corner kicks: 3/4 of Aston Villa’s recent matches only had a maximum of 10 corner kicks. In 5/6 of Arsenal’s last 6 home matches, the number of corners did not even reach 10. With a 10.5 corner bet, investors who choose to underplay the corner in the next match will most likely make a profit.
