In the build-up to the match, here at Betting Online, our team of experts has teamed up with our betting partner, Betano, to provide the latest predictions and odds. Continue reading to find out more, including the exclusive offer from Betano.

Aston Villa

An emphatic victory against Bayern Munich in the Champions League saw 20-year-old Jhon Duran score a stunning goal in the 79th minute to guide his side to the vital three points. 

Just 42 years on from when Villa beat Bayern Munich in the final of the then European Cup, the same result has happened again this time in the second phase of the newly formatted Champions League.

Unai Emery and his side will certainly be taking that feeling and momentum into their next test at the weekend as they welcome Man United to their ground. Unbeaten in six in all competitions, the Villans will be looking to inflict further pain on their opponents.

Manchester United 

Off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Tottenham last time out in the league, the pressure continues to rise on manager Erik ten Hag.

This was the second time his side has conceded three goals at home, with the same result coming against Liverpool. 

As questions surround the manager’s job, the player’s passion and fight, a result against a Villa side who are flying high in all competitions this season so far would be the start of movement in the right direction.

Villa vs Manchester Utd History 

The two sides are more than familiar with each other, having met 175 times in their history.

It is Manchester Utd who have won the most with 93, to Villa’s 41. While the remaining 41 games ended all square. 

In the last three meetings between the teams, Manchester United has come out on top, winning 2-1, 3-2, and 1-0, respectively.

Aston Villa have won just one of their last 25 Premier League home games against Manchester United (D8 L16), but will feel confident of turning this around given that, that one victory came in Emery’s first game in charge of the club in November 2022.

Villa vs Man Utd Betting Tips 

Going on the form of Villa in recent games, it is hard to look past them winning against a Man United side struggling to string together results. We are also backing plenty of goals to be scored too.
