Aston Villa vs Manchester United Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: 40/1 for goals

On Sunday, a Manchester United team that has scored four goals in each of their last two league games will travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa (16:30 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event). 

The hosts are in flying form themselves, so we should have a cracking game on our hands. Below you can find my Aston Villa vs Manchester United Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips.

Aston Villa win

I will back the home side to win this one based upon the staggering run of form Unai Emery find his side on. Aston Villa have now won 10 of their last 11 matches, firing them into the Premier League title race, as they sit just three points behind current leaders Arsenal.

Their home record reads six wins, one draw and one defeat in the league, while they’ve now won their last nine on the bounce. Villa are seemingly unstoppable right now, and Manchester United’s defensive frailties came to the fore against Bournemouth once again. 

Should be an entertaining encounter, with plenty of goals.

Morgan Rogers to score

Talking of which, Villa have been upsetting the odds in terms of goals from outside the box this season, and laughing in the face of xG. Morgan Rogers has been the king of this, scoring another wonderful goal from outside the box against West Ham. He bagged a brace in that one to take him to five league goals in 16 Premier League outings. 

I think United are likely to give up chances and space could once again open up in front of their back three. Bournemouth took advantage on Monday night, and I think Rogers is a great price to add to his goal tally on Sunday afternoon. 

Bruno Fernandes to score

Bruno Fernandes has scored three goals and bagged two assists in his last two outings, and is just in wonderful form. United’s captain and best players whipped in a fantastic free-kick against Bournemouth and will want to add to that here - while both teams have scored in the four Villa matches - so they are susceptible to conceding. I think backing two key midfielders to find the net is a great way to boost our Bet Builder.

Boubacar Kamara to get booked

Boubacar Kamara is a fiend for a foul and a booking and I think rounding off our Bet Builder with a yellow for the Villa man is a good way to go. He’s been booked four times in 14 Premier League games, and committed 11 fouls along the way, so I think United will cause him some problems. 

This brings our Bet Builder to 40/1 for Sunday’s clash.
