James Buttler finds a 4.62/1 bet on Aston Villa v Liverpool in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
Aston Villa aren’t quite the same side that they were when they cracked the top four last season. Down in ninth, they are six points off fourth and without a win in four Premier League matches. They lost their last away match at struggling Wolves and could only manage a draw at the weekend against the 10 men of Ipswich. But, on the positive side, Unai Emery’s side are unbeaten at Villa Park in their last 12 home outings, including six wins.
So, Arne Slot takes his table-topping Liverpool team to something of a fortress, and despite losses in the Champions League to PSV and the shock FA Cup defeat to Plymouth, they are now 21 Premier League matches without defeat and 15 unbeaten away from home. The Reds survived a strong Wolves fightback to win 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday to extend their lead at the top to seven points over Arsenal.
Can Liverpool break down Villa’s resistance at home? They’ve obviously got the pedigree to do just that, but I’d be reluctant to jump on the 17/20 on an away win. I also don’t trust Villa enough to back them, even at a tempting 3/1. Perhaps the 21/20 on Villa or the draw could be worth more than a quick glance.
But the quick tip has to come down to goals. There have been at least three goals in the last nine games between Aston Villa and Liverpool at Villa Park and both teams have scored in Aston Villa's last eight home games. Mohammad Salah has bagged 23 league goals this season and has five in the last four, including two penalties. If you take BTTS, over 2.5 match goals and Salah to bag again it gets us what I think is a very decent quick tip of 4.62/1 with BetMGM.
