Manchester City v Aston Villa Betting Tips [23 April 2025]

Manchester City and Aston Villa will seek to knock points off each other when they clash in the Premier League on Tuesday. This crucial top-five battle finds City in fourth spot while Villa are seventh, currently separated by a point. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Manchester City have been enjoying a string of positive results lately and will hope to carry the same here. The latest of them was away to Everton on Saturday, when they scored late to claim a 2-0 win.

Being just a point below third-placed Newcastle United, they’ll seek to rise from a congested area. 

Aston Villa are well within their rights to fight for a top-five place. They’ve had a good season in the league, especially. A 4-1 home win against Newcastle United puts that assertion in perspective.

As it is right now, Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only sides to have won each of their last five league matches. In the reverse meeting between these two sides, both scored as Aston Villa claimed a 2-1 win.

They will be eyeing a double over the deposed champions. That will, however, be demanding, as no away team has claimed a win in this fixture in the last six meetings.

Aston Villa are coming from a really fruitful run in the league and gave a good response to their elimination from Europe. They will be gunning for more here, and their scoring form should be a key point of focus.

However, it may not work in their favor that in this fixture, the away team rarely prevails. In the meantime, Manchester City have been doing well in recent matches and will be charging for a win at home. Our prediction for Manchester City v Aston Villa is for City to win and over 2.5 goals.
