In-Depth Betting Tips and Predictions for Aston Villa vs Arsenal

Arsenal look like a serious outfit this season. They’ve made a smart acquisition in Riccardo Calafiori and look right on track to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title once again.

Whilst they’re away from home in this game, since the appointment of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s away form has steadily improved.

Most away wins in the Premier League for over the last two seasons:

2023/24:

• Manchester City 14
• Arsenal 13

2022/23:

• Arsenal 12
• Manchester City 11

Before Arteta had a full season in charge with the Gunners, they only won 4 games away from home (in that 2019/20 season).

Aston Villa did win their opening game, and did beat Arsenal in both of the games they played against them in the Premier League last season. But the Gunners have won four of their last six meetings.

It’s also worth noting, that whilst Unai Emery is a very good manager, Arsenal ended the last campaign by winning their last six games in a row. Meanwhile, there was a shaky period for the Villains at the end of 2023/24, when they struggled to juggle the Premier League and European football.
