Aston Villa, Manchester City in mouth-watering EPL clash
German heavyweights Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig will collide in the final match before the winter break, while defending champions Manchester City will aim to reignite their faltering season with a win when they visit Aston Villa.
Event # 1 – GER– Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig– 2:30PM
German powerhouse Bayern Munich had their unbeaten start to the campaign ended abruptly last weekend when they were beaten 2-1 at Mainz but remains leaders in the Bundesliga standing. A firm reminder that Bayern are no longer unbeatable in the Bundesliga. Indeed, Bayern are trying to rediscover their glory days, having ended the last campaign without a single trophy, which rarely happens. This year though, they have been dominant as they lead the standing by four points over last season’s champions, Bayer Leverkusen. Interestingly, Bayer Leverkusen knocked Bayern Munich out of the DFB Pokal earlier this season at the quarter-final stage.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, have been one of the most consistent teams in Germany since their promotion to the top-flight in the 2016/17 campaign. They have started the season well, sitting fourth in the table, just two points away from second-placed Leverkusen. However, RB Leipzig’s performances in this season’s champions League group stage have been nothing short of atrocious, as they are one of only three sides yet again a single point after six rounds of matches and were duly eliminated as they have no chance of moving into the group knockout round of the competition. However, RB Leipzig seems to have hit the right notes in the Bundesliga as they defeated a strong Frankfurt 2-1 last weekend to enter this crucial game high on confidence.
Key Stats
• Bayern Munich – Bayern have been nearly perfect at home this season, winning five and drawing one of their first six games.
• RB Leipzig – RB Leipzig have lost four of their last five away matches in all competitions.
• Both sides – Bayern Munich have avoided defeat in the final match of a calendar year since 1984, but they have suffered eight defeats in the Bundesliga in 2024, their highest number of losses in a calendar year since 2001.
The betting Tip.Bayern Munich Win.
Event # EPL – Aston Villa vs Man City– 7:30PM
Aston Villa and Manchester City will meet in a Premier League blockbuster clash tomorrow, Saturday, as both teams aim to get their season back on track. Aston Villa have been having a good season so far, sitting sixth in the table as they aim to secure a top four spot and European qualification. Indeed, Aston Villa’s home form have been particularly impressive, with four wins, three draws, and just one defeat so far this season. However, Aston Villa enter this match off the back of a 2-1 loss away to Nottingham Forest last weekend, which ended a three-match winning run for them in all competitions.
Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions, are in horrible form, the worst in the Pep Guardiola era. Amazingly, Man. City have lost 8 of their last 11 matches in all competitions and in the Premier League, they have lost 5 of their last 7 games. With this terrible run, they are now trailing the leaders Liverpool by 9 points and the Reds have played a game fewer than them. Not beating Aston Villa tomorrow could mean the end of their title dream for this season. With that said, Manchester City enter this game off the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to local rivals Manchester United, a result that raised questions about their ability to bounce back from their poor form to defend their title.
Key Stats
• Aston Villa– Aston Villa have not lost at home since August, and they have won their last two home matches in a row.
• Man City–Manchester City have lost three and drawn two of their last six matches in all competitions.
• Both sides–Aston Villa have picked up a win and a draw in their last two home games against Manchester City.
The betting Tip. Aston Villa win.
