Aston Villa take on Man Utd at Villa Park this week having already beaten the champions once in the league this season and with enough confidence about them to believe that they can secure the double. Villa also boast the best defensive record in the Premiership so far this season, conceding only 18 goals, with only 7 conceded at home from 14 home matches played.
Even for United this is a daunting statistic and one that they will have to expose if they are going to come away with the three points needed in order to maintain their challenge for the Premier League title.
With stats like that it is sometimes hard to understand therefore why the Bookmakers have made Villa such an attractive bet to win this match. Paddy Power, the Irish Bookmakers for instance, have Villa at 3/1 to win the match, with United, according to them as cast iron certainties for the 3 points at 10/11 odds on. They have the draw at a more sensible 12/5.

We realise it is an easy matter of putting up a case for a Villa win in this, but we are also very well aware that United have been in almost irrepressible form of late, with Wayne Rooney earning the plaudits as being the best front man in the world currently. They have scored 15 times in their last four games, conceding just twice making them really hard to oppose. However, Villa will come into the match, knowing that defeat will almost certainly cost them the much sought after fourth league spot that the club crave so highly. It is therefore a ‘must win match for Martin O’Neill and his men and we think that they can pull it off.
It is a difficult call, but we are going to stick our necks and suggest that this match will either be a draw or a Villa win by one goal and have a variety of Correct Score betting options listed below for consideration. Villa striker, Gabi Agbonlahor has been scoring a few lately, he has enough speed to trouble the United defence and we think and he looks good value to us at 7/1 Paddy Power to score the opening goal.
