Match review, odds for Aston Villa vs Arsenal in round 16 of the Premier League taking place at 00:30 on December 16.
Prediction of the match between Aston Villa vs Arsenal
In the 16th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa will face Arsenal at Villa Park. The match is expected to be very dramatic as both teams are playing quite well, but victory is leaning towards the away team.
Aston Villa is considered the "dark horse" of the Premier League this season. They have defeated big names like Tottenham and Man City to rise to 3rd place on the rankings. Although the squad does not have many stars, the players still know how to shine at the right time, especially the attack line which is the second highest scorer in the Premier League this season with 34 goals, second only to Man City with 36 goals.
The recent victory over Man City will be a springboard for Aston Villa to enter the match with Arsenal. Although they have lost all 4 matches last season, with good form and home advantage, coach Unai Emery and his team are confident of getting the next 3 points and extending their unbeaten streak.
On the other side of the field, Arsenal is also playing extremely well with a series of victories in the last 5 matches and is temporarily leading the Premier League table. With a good squad quality and extensive experience, the Gunners are highly rated this season and are one of the bright candidates for the championship.
If they want to continue to secure their number one position in the rankings, Arsenal know that they need to win this match. However, defeating an Aston Villa team in such impressive form will not be a simple challenge for coach Mikel Arteta and his team.
