Man City v Aston Villa Betting: City odds on to keep up unbeaten run with win

Two of the three unbeaten teams left in the Premier League go head-to-head this Saturday as Aston Villa travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City. All Villa fans must surely have warmed to Alex McLeish by now as he has led the team up to 7th in the table without losing a game. Roberto Mancini is having a good season himself at Man City and the team are joint top with city rivals United.

In the match odds for Saturday’s game, City are firm favourites at 1/3 with Unibet while a Villa win is 9/1 and a draw offered at 7/2.

Man City hit their first real bump in the road for the season with the Carlos Tevez affair during the Champions League. With the striker seemingly refusing to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich, Roberto Mancini was put in an awkward position as his management was called into question.

It was a controversial moment for the club but they bounced back a couple of days later with their performance on the pitch and ran out 4-0 winners at Blackburn. Even without Tevez, this City side is still packed with talent and they can rest the likes of Edin Dzeko to call upon Mario Balotelli who got himself on the scoresheet at Ewood Park.

Aston Villa certainly don’t have a squad to match City but Alex McLeish has built a decent outfit at Villa Park. Shay Given has been a good signing between the posts while the defence, anchored by Richard Dunne, have conceded just five goals so far this season in the league. In midfield, Barry Bannan is proving himself to be a promising talent while Darren Bent and Gabriel Agbonlahor are working well together upfront.

Villa have drawn the majority of their games this campaign but it also proves that they are a hard team to beat. They are yet to lose away from home but this will likely end on Saturday at Eastlands. City have won 12 of their last 13 games at home and it is very difficult seeing them not win once again at the weekend. As they offer no value in the match odds, it is best to back a City win in the correct score market. They recently beat Everton 2-0 at home and they are a similar strength team as Villa. A 2-0 victory to City is a nice price of 7/1 with Unibet.
