Aston Villa supporters have been in dreamland this season and a return of forty-three points from twenty-one games played is more than they could have imagined. The Villans have gone from relegation strugglers to a team who will potentially participate in the Champions League next term, with Unai Emery looking to mastermind another home win.
Having beaten Arsenal and Manchester City at Villa Park, there will be a confidence that Newcastle United can be defeated. Villa average nearly three goals per home clash on average and they are likely to be among the goals against opponents who have been found wanting on the road on more than one occasion.
There was a recent 4-2 reverse away to Anfield which suggests that Villa could have a field day and there are attractive odds about the home win here. Ollie Watkins is looking to reach double figures when it comes to top-flight goals, with the England man having hit a barren patch in recent games although he might be able to spring to life here.
Newcastle began the 2023/24 season with a 5-1 triumph against Aston Villa which suggested that a bright campaign lay ahead. This was followed by three consecutive defeats and there has been some poor recent form too. That equates to eight reverses in the space of ten games and we’re happy to take the attractive odds when it comes to a Villa win.
