Manchester United v Aston Villa Premier League Betting Tips 6/10/2024
An underperforming Manchester United host an ever-improving Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, sot it’s time for our Manchester United v Aston Villa Premier League Betting Tips. Erik Ten Hag’s United have continued to struggle in the 2024/25 campaign, leaving the Dutchman under pressure. Poor Premier League results leave the Red Devils in the bottom half of the table currently. Meanwhile, Villa has carried momentum from a stunning 2023/24 season into the new campaign. Will Unai Emery’s side get the better of a wounded United this weekend? You can catch this game at 2 p.m. on Sky Sports.
Form and Team News
United sit 13th in the Premier League table following just two wins from their opening six matches. The Red Devils were unbeaten in four in all competitions with wins over Southampton (3-0) and Barnsley (7-0) before draws against Crystal Palace (0-0) and FC Twente (1-1). A disappointing 3-0 home loss to Tottenham followed. Ten Hag’s side also suffered another setback in mid-week, giving up a 2-0 lead and drawing 3-3 against FC Porto in the Europa League. Aston Villa are fifth in the Premier League after securing four wins from six. The Villans are also undefeated in seven in all competitions, winning six. Emery’s team continued their impressive run of form with a 1-0 Champions League home win against German giants Bayern Munich in mid-week.
Regarding team news, United will be without defenders Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia. Luke Shaw has an outside chance of returning here but is unlikely to make the starting XI if fit. Villa have a few key players out. Captain John McGinn and fellow midfielder Boubacar Kamara are injured. Defender Tyrone Mings is also unavailable due to injury.
Match Winner Bet
Man United’s inconsistency means they come into this home clash as the pre-match outsiders. This is justified as the Red Devils have sealed just three wins in eight at Old Trafford. A four-match winless run heading into this clash also leaves United with a tough ask against in-form Villa. At 21/10, Bet365 has the best odds for a home triumph. Having drawn three of their previous four, backing a stalemate may be a better shout. Ten Hag’s side will also feel confident of taking at least a point, as they haven’t suffered a home defeat against Villa since 2009. If you’re backing a draw, VBet has the best value at 25/9. We feel the Villan’s recent form is too strong to ignore in the Premier League. Emery’s side have also won four of their last five away and will be on cloud nine after beating Bayern on Tuesday. The Midlands outfit are the narrow favourites at 13/10, provided by Unibet.
Over/Under Goals
Man United and Aston Villa have been incredibly leaky this season, opening up the goals markets. Ten Hag’s team have seen nine goals across their last two matches and conceded six. Three of their previous four at home have also ended with over 2.5 goals. Villa also saw over 2.5 goals in six consecutive games before their narrow win over Munich. The Villans are among the highest scorers in the Premier League this season too, with 12 in six matches. Another possible high scorer at Old Trafford comes with fair value. BetMGM has the best current returns for over 2.5 goals with 4/7 odds.
Anytime Goalscorer
United and Villa score and concede a lot, and these players will fancy their chances of striking on Sunday. Villa’s young forward Jhon Duran is making a name for himself as a modern super-sub. The Colombian has already scored six goals this season, with five coming after he’s been subbed on. Three of his goals have come on the road, while he also had a goal disallowed at Young Boys in the Champions League. Even if Duran doesn’t start on Sunday, he could be worth backing in the anytime scorer market at 9/4, offered by bet365. A player who is more likely to start after being rested in the second half in mid-week is United’s Marcus Rashford. Despite the Red Devils’ recent downturn, Rashford has been a constant goal threat. In his previous five starts, he has scored four goals. The English forward is improving and if chances come his way against Villa, we expect him to strike. Also, a Rashford anytime goal has pretty decent value with Sky Bet offering 11/4 odds.

Ten Hag was reportedly given two games to turn around United’s form in a bid to save his job. However, challenges don’t come much tougher than in-form Villa at the moment, and the Dutch coach could face severe pressure without a result here. Both sides will be pushing for a win, meaning goals could be on the horizon.
