Manchester City - Aston Villa match score prediction: Determined to win the 'final' match

Phil Foden shoots in front of Aston Villa goal

Manchester City are in 5th place (last place in Champions League next season), Aston Villa 7th but only 1 point behind. Clearly Manchester City feel their Champions League ticket is under serious threat as there are 5 teams (Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa) compete for the remaining 3 spots after the duo Liverpool and Arsenal.

Both teams will have to fight to the death in this match worth up to 6 points, because the winner will not only advance but also push the opponent back in this fierce race.

Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic is expected to start for Man City, while Erling Haaland, Ederson, Nathan Ake, Rodri and John Stones remain in the treatment room.

Aston Villa looked to be in top form as they thrashed Newcastle 4-1. Unai Emery's men were sharp up front at the weekend and with Man City's attacking potential at home, both sides could score.

Unai Emery is free to field his strongest possible line-up for the clash at the Etihad. Midfielder Amadou Onana returns to the Aston Villa starting line-up after getting on the scoresheet against Newcastle.

Prediction: Manchester City - Aston Villa 2-2

Head to Head

21-12-2024	Aston Villa	Manchester City	2-1

The match odds surprisingly did not change at all in the past 2 days. All the bookies gave Manchester City a handicap of half a goal (winning only 85), but by noon today the market had changed when Manchester City conceded half a goal, winning all, losing 87.

Anyway, choosing the home team is still more secure, because the history of confrontation shows that the home team has always won in the last 4 matches.
