Why Bet on Monaco?
The hosts started their season looking like strong contenders with a 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, during which they won two of their first three matches in Europe.
However, things changed quickly after losing to Niza at the end of October. After that match, they have struggled for consistency in all competitions and have failed to win their four games since the turn of the year.
Monaco has thus dropped out of the automatic qualification places for the Champions League, missed out on silverware in the Trophee des Champions to Paris Saint-Germain, and got knocked out of the Coupe de France by Reims, so they need to pick up the pace now.
Why Bet on Aston Villa?
Villa surpassed all expectations by qualifying for the Champions League with a surprise fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season, and they have won seven out of 11 matches in all competitions.
Now more than halfway through their Premier League campaign, the visitors are in contention for the top four again, as they sit eighth in the table, just two points off fourth.
They have continued to silence the doubters left and right, having put in several fine performances in Europe this season, including their impressive victories against German sides Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.
Final Betting Analysis: Monaco vs. Aston Villa
With Monaco worried about several injured players and the visitors being one of the best stories to follow in the competition this season, we expect Aston Villa winning 2-1.
At Gambyl Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline favoring Aston Villa by 2.746, while Monaco starts at 2.572.
Aston Villa has performed admirably in their matches so far, and we confidently think they can get yet another win here, as they are starting to hit a bit of form again following a slump earlier in the season.
Look for a win on Aston Villa. For example, if you put $100 on Aston Villa at 2.746, you’ll see a $174.60 win with a total payout of $274.60.
