Today you can enjoy the EPL match-up between Manchester City and Aston Villa. The hosting team currently sits in the 2nd position in the league, and the guests from Birmingham are in the 11th spot. The interesting fact is that both squads after winning 2 games in a row, lost their previous duels. Therefore, it’s going to be very interesting to see who’s going to bounce back with a victory at Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City FC
Man City is working hard to overtake Arsenal. So far they earned 45 points after 21 games, 5 fewer than the leaders. The Citizens suffered a derby defeat to the Red Devils (2:1), but they bounced back great and beat Tottenham (4:2) and the Wolves (3:0) in the following two games. But unfortunately, last Sunday, the Sky Blues lost the away match against the Spurs by 1:0. So today they must show another quality performance in order to win the 3 points in front of their supporters.
Aston Villa FC
The Lions experienced many ups and downs. They played great in the duels against Leeds (2:1) and Southampton (0:1) winning a total of 6 points. But unfortunately, Aston Villa fell to Leicester at home in the previous round, losing by 2:4. However, the Lions must bring their maximum today in order to avoid losing against the strong squad of Man City.
H2H Brief History
Last season the Sky Blues beat the Lions two times (1:2, 3:2). But this season the outcome of the first match that took place in Villa Park ended up with a final score of 1:1.
Verdict
We are looking forward to an attractive football match with multiple scored goals in which the favorite for victory will be Manchester City FC.
