In form Aston Villa host struggling Luton at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon. Villa have won 11 home games in a row, so will be confident of extending that run against their struggling opponents.
Before you head off to look at the latest sports betting odds for the game, make sure you check out our exclusive tip and get your expert’s verdict on this key fixture.
Unai Emery has just celebrated 12 months in charge at Villa Park, and things could scarcely have gone better for the experienced Spaniard. After a seventh placed finish last season and Europa Conference qualification, Villa have begun this campaign in excellent form. They currently sit in 5th place, just one point outside of the Champions League places.
Striker Ollie Watkins and midfielder Douglas Luiz both have five goals so far, whilst John McGinn, Pau Torres and keeper Emi Martinez are all in fine form. If Villa can replicate their form from recent home games, it could be a long answer for Luton.
As expected, Luton find themselves in a relegation battle following their unexpected promotion from the Championship last season. However, the Hatters are showing that they are up for the fight and have produced some impressive performances.
Last week’s draw at Notts Forest featured a stirring comeback from two nil down, if they can show the same kind of never-say-die spirit at Villa Park they may be able to claim a valuable point.
This is the sides’ first league meeting for 31 years, although they have met twice in the League Cup in that time. Luton hold a 19-15 overall lead in the head-to-head, but with so few recent encounters it is hard to read too much into those stats.
Aston Villa are marginal favourites for the win and can be backed at 6/5. The visitors are available at 12/5, with the draw priced at 11/4.
To no great surprise, our betting bonus tip for the game is for a home win. Simply put, Aston Villa are playing some fantastic football at home and should have far too much for a plucky, but limited Luton.
At such short odds, this game makes an ideal addition to your weekend acca. Don’t forget to check out our other Premier League articles for more expert betting tips.
