The most interesting game of the day
In tonight’s Arsenal–Aston Villa match, two teams with completely different playing moods will meet. Arsenal has started the Premier League better than in twenty years and the winning streak already has four matches. Similarly, Aston Villa’s game does not work at all at the moment, despite the famous players.
What is particularly worrying for Villa is that, for example, the team’s absolute star profiles are counted Philippe Coutinho frustration and a lack of joy in the game shine through the excerpts. In Birmingham, the finger of blame is gradually starting to point at the man who became Aston Villa’s manager less than a year ago Steven Gerrard.
With the big investments made during this and last season, the club probably won’t have to watch the game’s almost complete inaction for very long. What makes Gerrard’s position at the club interesting is that the former Liverpool legend has a contract left until the summer of 2025.
Arsenal and Aston Villa are therefore starting their evening meeting from very different mental points of view. The home team talking about self-confidence and good spirit, and the visitors in more or less tense or even fearful moods.
These factors have a big impact on how the game unfolds without forcing it naturally. In terms of formations, Arsenal may have problems in midfield today, as the most important piece Thomas Partey playing is very uncertain due to a thigh injury. In addition, gone is probably also Mohamed Elneny. From the defense Oleksandr Zinchenko playing is 50/50 according to this morning’s information.
It might also be necessary to do some sort of recycling, because Arsenal will have three Premier League games in a little over a week, while on Sunday there will certainly be a match against Manchester United at Old Trafford that will certainly be more incendiary than this game.
Despite the match rush, it is worth noting that Arsenal will get to this day more rested than Aston Villa, because Villa’s last weekend’s match was on Sunday and Arsenal’s was already on Saturday.
Villa’s only player missing for sure due to injury is the defender from Sevilla Diego Carlos. Defender By Tyrone Mings According to this morning’s information, the mood is 50/50. Coutinho has recovered from his cramp, but Gerrard is expected to keep his erratic star on the bench at least at the start of the game.
I personally emphasize the (mental) motivations of the teams in this match so much that I consider Arsenal to be a bigger favorite than the general opinion. Arsenal–Aston Villa starts at 21:30.
The best betting tip of the day
In terms of betting, Arsenal is the most interesting target of the evening, despite the question marks in the midfield. The 1.45 odds of the standard win is not particularly rewarding, so I consider Arsenal-1 of the Asian handicaps to be the best line. Arsenal-1’s coefficient has moved between 1.82 and 1.77 in the last 24 hours. My own multiplier limit for this is 1.80, so at some point there might be an over-multiplier available today. With the current odds of 1.77, I don’t tag Arsenal-1 to the line.
