Why Bet on Aston Villa?
Aston Villa is a strong team in the Premier League, kept much of its roster, and already showed signs of what it can provide on the field on the first day against West Ham.
In away condition, the Villains beat the Hammers 2-1, thanks to goals from Amadou Onana and Colombian Jhon Jáder Durán.
The team coached by Unai Emery is a structured team, whose main characteristic is to play on the counterattack. Fast players such as Leon Bailey, Ollie Watkins, and Durán himself are a danger to any defense.
This season,the team was reinforced with full-back Ian Maatsen, midfielder Amadou Onana, and wingers Cameron Archer, Samuel Iling-Junior, and Lewis Dobbin.
In addition, Aston Villa had the luxury of beating Arsenal in both matches last season, being partly responsible for the Gunners’ failure to become English champions.
Currently, the injured players in this team are midfielders Boubacar Kamara and Emiliano Buendia.
Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal is, together with Manchester City, the great candidate to be champion of the Premier League, partly because it has been runner-up for two years and because Mikel Arteta found continuity in his sporting project.
The Gunners made their league debut with a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton, with goals by the German Kai Havertz and one of their great stars, the English winger Bukayo Saka, who is the most decisive player in the last quarter of the field.
Arteta’s team added a defender of great projection to the squad, Italian Riccardo Calafiori, who will, most likely, feature as a left-back, although he was originally a center-back.
The London team is betting on collective play, with the Norwegian Martin Odegaard as the person in charge of pulling the strings, while Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are responsible for attacking on the wings with their speed and technique.
The injured players are defenders Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu, alongside midfielder Fabio Vieira.
