Manchester City and Aston Villa, both vying for a top-four spot, are set to clash in a Premier League match on Tuesday. Man City recently defeated Everton 2-0, while Aston Villa impressively overcame Newcastle 4-1. In their previous encounter, Villa won 2-1. Aston Villa has won two of their last three matches against Man City but hasn`t secured a Premier League victory at the Etihad since 2007.
The game will kick off at 3:00 PM ET at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England. Man City is favored at -115 odds. Aston Villa is the underdog at +280, a draw is priced at +310, and the over/under for total goals is 3.5. SportsLine expert Martin Green has shared his predictions for the match.
Green`s soccer picks have been profitable in the past year, including in Euro qualifying, the EFL Cup, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. Here are Green`s top picks for the Manchester City vs. Aston Villa game on Tuesday:
Aston Villa +0.75 (-125)
Aston Villa will approach Tuesday`s away game with confidence. The Villans have won five league games in a row and have kept a clean sheet in their last three Premier League away games. Aston Villa has also scored three or more goals in six of their last eight matches across all competitions.
“Aston Villa is on a five-game winning streak in the Premier League,” Green noted. “They beat Newcastle 4-1 at the weekend, so they will be confident and could cause problems for this inconsistent Man City team.”
BTTS + Over 2.5 goals + Omar Marmoush over 0.5 shots on target (+108)
The Citizens possess one of the Premier League`s most dangerous attacks. Pep Guardiola`s team has scored 64 goals in 33 matches, the second-highest in the league. Forward Omar Marmoush has started 10 Premier League games for Man City, scoring six goals from 32 shots. He has scored in three of his last five league games and has had at least one shot on target in each of his last five Premier League matches.
Aston Villa has also been effective offensively, scoring 10 goals in their last three matches in all competitions. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams in the league, a trend Green expects to continue on Tuesday.
