Top match between Aston Villa and Manchester City? Prediction, 21.12.24

Will the Citizens fall even further down the table?

Published on 16.12.2024 08:04.

Aston Villa may not be having an outstanding season so far, but they have still managed to establish themselves as a top team and are in 6th place after 16 matchdays. While they have struggled enormously away from home, they have only conceded one defeat in their 8 home games so far. Now the reigning champions Manchester City have arrived. However, they are not necessarily impressing with their performance at the moment. Pep Guardiola and his team are in the biggest crisis since the Spaniard took office. They have lost 8 of their last 11 games and are only in fifth place in the Premier League. Another defeat against Aston Villa would see them overtaken by them.

Aston Villa want to be the next stumbling block for the champions

The hosts finally established themselves among the top teams in the Premier League last year with 4th place. Although they have not had such an outstanding season so far and already have five defeats after 16 games, they are still 6th in the table due to the weakness of other top teams. They are currently just three points off the top four. Aston Villa actually seemed to have overcome their brief period of weakness in October, as they managed two home wins in a row against Brentford and Southampton. However, they were beaten 2-1 by Nottingham Forest last weekend, leaving them ahead in the table. Aston Villa will now rely on their home strength again. They have conceded just one goal in 8 home games and only 9 goals in 8 games. Their only home defeat came against Arsenal on matchday 2. With a win against City, they would not only overtake them, but could also improve their goal difference of 24:25 goals. Defensively in particular, this is clearly not enough for a top team in the Premier League.

One of the surprises in the Champions League

Aston Villa naturally have a multiple burden this year with the Champions League, but have done very well so far. They are certainly one of the positive surprises in the top flight, where they are in 5th place after 6 matchdays and would therefore qualify directly for the round of 16. The hosts have won 4 out of 6 games and only lost once. They are also very strong defensively and have only conceded 3 goals! Their victories included wins against the two top German clubs Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. In games against Young Boys Bern, Bologna and Juventus, they did not concede a goal. Incidentally, their only defeat came away at FC Brugge (1:0).

Aston Villa

System: 4-2-3-1.

Is Pep Guardiola still the right coach for City?

Slowly but surely, Manchester City's crisis is reaching new dimensions. Of the last 11 competitive matches, City have lost eight and won just one. It is by far coach Pep Guardiola's biggest crisis. The Spaniard seems increasingly at a loss and must find a solution quickly, otherwise they risk losing their place in the Premier League. With 27 points after 16 games, they are already 9 points behind Liverpool and they still have a game in hand. Last weekend, City conceded their 5th defeat of the season in the Premier League. In the derby against Manchester United, they were beaten 2-1 at home in the final minutes of the game. For the 3rd time in a row, they have now conceded 2 goals per game. Since October 26, they have only managed to keep a clean sheet in one game and that was at home against Nottingham (3-0).

Behind expectations in the Cup competitions

Manchester City are already out of the EFL Cup. They were beaten 2:1 by Tottenham Hotspur in the 3rd round. This title chance is therefore gone early in the season. They are currently in 22nd place in the Champions League and are just one point ahead of a non-play-off place. The Citizens' next opponent is Paris St. Germain. The visitors are therefore in real danger of dropping out of the Champions League. They have failed to win their last three matches in the top flight. There was a 4:1 defeat at Sporting Lisbon, a 3:3 at home against Feyenoord and a 2:0 away defeat at Juventus Turin.

Manchester City

System: 4-2-3-1.

Manchester City's crisis continues - Our forecast

Aston Villa already won at home against City last season. The hosts are also difficult to beat at home this year, while City have not won their last 3 away games. Based on the odds, we would recommend "Double chance 1/X" here. The two defenses are anything but stable this year, which is why we believe in scores on both sides.
