Luton vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips: Watkins to score & Villa to win in 4/1 shot

Aston Villa head to Kenilworth Road to face Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday evening (17:30) in the Premier League. Unai Emery's side are gunning for a third-successive win as they look to solidify their position inside the top four to qualify for next year's Champions League.

Following Everton's points deduction getting reduced from 10 to six points, Luton find themselves four points of safety, and they themselves have lost three in a row in the top-flight. We have constructed a 4/1 bet builder for you to consider ahead of this clash.

Aston Villa to win

Talk of Unai Emery's side winning the Premier League may have died down, but they are very much still in an excellent position to finish inside the top four. The Villans currently occupy fourth and are five points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, with Spurs having a game in hand.

After winning their last two matches against Fulham and Nottingham Forest, Villa have regained some much-needed confidence ahead of the final stretch of the campaign. They take on a Luton side who are out of form with three league defeats on the bounce.

The Hatters also shipped six goals against Manchester City in the FA Cup in midweek. Villa are heading here at the perfect time.

Ollie Watkins to score anytime 

Ollie Watkins has been Villa's standout performer this season. The forward has notched 14 goals and 12 assists in the Premier League so far, and he is certainly going to be in the conversation for PFA Player of the Year with numbers like that.

The former Brentford man has scored five in as many games in the top-flight in recent weeks, so he heads to Bedfordshire full of confidence. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold at the moment and we are fully expecting his goalscoring run to continue this weekend.

Over 2.5 Aston Villa goals

Watkins can play a huge role in Villa scoring a few at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, but he may not have to do it alone. He is supported by other players in the team who haven't been strangers to getting on the scoresheet this term.

Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey and John McGinn have all scored multiple goals this year and collectively they will offer a huge goal threat against the Hatters. Villa put four past Nottingham Forest last week and they could be in for another prolific display this time around.

Gabriel Osho to commit 1+ fouls

Luton defender Gabriel Osho has made 17 fouls already this season, which has seen him pick up three yellow cards. Coming up against an in-form attacking side in Villa, the Hatters centre-back is going to have his work cut out for him facing the free-scoring Watkins and the tricky Bailey.

We've already made our case for why we think the visitors will win this game, so there is bound to plenty of frustration from the hosts on display here, and Osho's emotions might just get the better of him.
