The Citizens are tipped to win the game even though They come into this with a very sketchy record. Manchester City goes into this with a decent overall record at Villa Park; hence, they have the backing of the bookies to win this. Aston Villa, on the other hand, are unbeaten in any of their last 5 games at home.

The only good news for them is that they tend to do well at home, and they have 3 draws and 2 wins in their last 5 games. At Villa Park, they have lost only one game so far at home. and that came against Arsenal in their first home game. Since then they have had 4 wins and 3 draws to their name. Aston Villa goes into this game having won each of their last 2 games against Brentford and Southampton.

Manchester City as a team, continue to struggle, and it is tough to predict what Pep Guardiola’s team might produce. Overall Manchester City has won just 1 of their last 11 games in all competitions. Away from home, they have already had 3 defeats to their name. The last time they won a game away from home was way back in October when they won 2-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Since then they have lost 3 in a row and most recently drew at Selhurst Park to Crystal Palace.

Based on the Above stats; here are our predictions and tips for this game. We expect Manchester City to nick past Aston Villa in this game. Pep Guardiola’s team, winning This game by a one-goal margin is our call. We also expect Manchester City to score two goals or more goals in this game.

Aston Villa have conceded 2 goals away from home in 3 of their 8 games at home this season. Manchester City, on the other hand, scored 2 goals in their last game at Selhurst. Park hence we do expect them to find the back of the net at least 2 times at Villa Park. We also easily back Aston Villa to score in this game. The Villains have scored in each of their last 4 games at home. Manchester City have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 7 games away from the Etihad Stadium. Hence Both teams to score in this game is our call here.

Our prediction is for Aston Villa to open the scoring in this game. In the Premier League Until now, Aston Villa has had a better record than Manchester City recently. Villa has scored first in each of their last 2 home games, whereas Manchester City has conceded the first goal in 4 of their last 5 away games. Aston Villa does tend to start their home games on a faster note with their home backing. Manchester City will come into this game under a lot of pressure, and hence we do see them going behind first.

Josko Gvardiol has been a player who is involved in a lot of defensive actions for Manchester City. The Croatian defender has been one of the standout defenders for Manchester. City this season and against the pace of Villa, we do expect him to have a busy afternoon. Gvardiol’s tackle rate in the Premier League is quite good. The defender averages 1.8 tackles per game so far in the Premier League. Hence our call in this game is for Josko Gvardiol to make 1 or more tackles in this game. against Aston Villa.

In terms of scoring for Aston Villa, we have to back Jhon Duran in this game. Duran has done very well when it comes to deputizing for Ollie Watkins this season. The Colombian striker also scored in his last game against Nottingham Forest; hence, We do expect him to carry on his form in this game. Based on this we do expect Jhon Duran to score against Manchester City on Saturday.

For Manchester City, we do back Phil Foden to get on the scoresheet in this game. Foden has had a very bad start to the season, and his stats do indicate that as well. Foden has taken the most shots with 24 without finding the back of the net. The good news is that he is testing goalkeepers, and we expect the goals to come as he is a quality player. This game at Villa Park is a good game to back Phil Foden to score, as Manchester City’s attackers have not been consistent this season. Erling Haaland is a safer shout always, but his goals have dried up as of now.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Manchester City

This game on Saturday's match between Manchester City and Aston Villa is a very difficult one to predict. The oddsmakers have backed Manchester City to win this game, but we do believe that Aston Villa also has a very good chance here. Villa does have a poor overall record coming into this, having lost 4 of their last 7 games, but Their record at home remains very good. Unai Emery’s men have not lost a single game at home in each of their last 7. Manchester City, on the other hand, are struggling away from home; hence this is a perfect fixture to back Aston Villa. in terms of the one who likes to take a risk. Manchester City overall is a good team, however, their form right now is in all sorts of shambles. Based on everything It is Manchester City whom the oddsmakers have put as favourites, and we will acknowledge that, however, Aston Villa has a genuine chance of winning this game. as well. Our score prediction is a 2-1 win for Manchester City at Villa Park. come Saturday.
