Betting Tips
Aston Villa faces Chelsea at Villa Park in the upcoming Premier League match. Aston Villa is in excellent form, having recently won two crucial league matches and solidifying their position for a Champions League spot. They have been particularly strong at home, winning 12 of their 17 home games this season. On the other hand, Chelsea suffered a significant 5-0 defeat to Arsenal, highlighting ongoing struggles in their campaign. With numerous key players injured, Chelsea’s prospects look dim against a confident Aston Villa side.
In another key match-up, Juventus hosts Milan in Serie A. Juventus has been underperforming in the league with only two wins in their last 12 games and may prioritize their Coppa Italia final appearance over the league, where their performance has dropped. Despite recent setbacks, including an exit from the Europa League and a loss to Inter, Milan has maintained a strong away record, winning six of their last eight away league games. This sets up Milan as a favorable candidate in the double chance market for this fixture.
Both matches are top clashes featuring stars from all over the world. However, as bettors, what matters most is what are the most likely outcome for these games. Also, Not just on these two games, TopbetsSA picks the top five betting fixtures you can place your money on, plus extra tips for our readers.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea
Chelsea’s chances for a European league spot were severely damaged after a 5-0 loss to Arsenal, making their next game against Aston Villa at Villa Park even more challenging.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea allowed 27 shots against Arsenal and managed only one themselves, indicating severe issues in their play.
This loss, one of 11 this season, leaves them stagnating in mid-table. Despite beating Everton 6-0 earlier, their away record is poor, with only five wins in 16 games. Injuries to key players like Wesley Fofana and Reece James further dampen their prospects against Villa.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, is pushing for a Champions League spot, having recently secured crucial wins in both the Premier League and the Europa Conference League. They’ve been strong at home, winning 12 of 17 league games.
Villa’s recent 2-0 win at the Emirates, compared to Chelsea’s heavy loss there, showcases the disparity between the teams. A Villa win looks promising, especially with their consistent scoring record, making a 3-1 victory a viable bet.
The game also features leading scorers Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins, with Watkins likely to score at home.
Verdict:
The upcoming North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal is poised to be highly competitive. Buoyed by recent strong performances and a solid defensive record, Arsenal enters as slight favorites. However, Tottenham, motivated to recover from a recent defeat and push for a top-four spot, will benefit from playing at home and the potential return of key player Richarlison. The game is likely to be close, with either a high-scoring draw or a narrow victory for either side, depending on crucial plays and standout performances.
Tip: We expect Over 2.5 goals or Aston Villa to Win ✅
Juventus vs AC Milan
Milan has an opportunity to deepen Juventus’s league struggles. Juventus, having just advanced to the Coppa Italia final, may shift focus from Serie A where their title chances have vanished and a Champions League berth is nearly certain. Their recent form has been shaky, with only two wins in the last 12 league matches and a previous 1-0 home loss to Milan. Additionally, Juventus has struggled to score in recent encounters with Milan at home.
Despite a tough month, including a Europa League exit and a loss to Inter, Milan has performed well away from home, winning six of their last eight league games on the road. Given Juventus’s difficulties in securing wins, Milan appears well-positioned to at least draw in Turin, making them a good choice in the double chance betting market. Given that three of Juventus’s recent league losses were by a 1-0 scoreline, a repeat of that result could be a wise bet.
Verdict
Juventus has struggled lately, securing only two wins in their last 12 league matches, while Milan boasts a strong away record with six victories in their last eight league outings. Consider backing the visitors in the double chance market.
