Manchester City vs Aston Villa Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive odds for all Premier League matches for bettors in the UK.
Please note that the odds mentioned below for this fixture are accurate as of the publishing time of the article. Make sure to check the latest odds before placing a bet.
1X2 Odds Betting Odds
| Manchester City (1) | X | Aston Villa (2) |
| 3/10 | 13/3 | 6/1 |
In the 1X2 football betting market, you can choose between three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home win (Manchester City)
- X: Draw
- 2: Away win (Aston Villa)
Let’s take a look at the Manchester City vs Aston Villa betting odds in the 1X2 market: the odds for Manchester City’s win are 3/10, a draw is priced at 13/3, and Aston Villa’s odds are 6/1. In fractional odds, the denominator represents the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected profit. This means if you bet £10 on Manchester City and they win, you’ll earn £3 in profit plus your stake back. A successful £3 bet on a draw will return £13 in profit, and correctly predicting Aston Villa’s win returns £6 for every pound.
Before placing your wager, consider whether the bet has short or long odds. The team that returns a small profit is said to have “short” odds, whereas teams with higher potential profits have “long” odds. Short odds pay less because they have a higher chance of hitting, whereas long odds have a lower chance of success. Though you should note that both teams are in solid form this season. So, if you are not sure which team to back, pick a safer market like BTTS, Handicap, or Goal Total.
Double Chance Odds
| City or Draw | City or Villa | Draw or Villa |
| 1/12 | 2/15 | 9/5 |
The Double Chance market allows you to cover two outcomes, which gives you a better chance of winning. Here’s how it works:
- Manchester City or Draw (1X): Loses if Villa win.
- Manchester City or Aston Villa (12): This is a match-winner bet. It loses if the match draws.
- Draw or Aston Villa (X2): This bet loses if Manchester City wins.
Consider this market if you are a cautious bettor or are unsure which outcome to back. However, your payout in this market will be lower than 1X2 as your risk is slightly lower.
In their last 10 head-to-head matches, City won 6 games, while Villa won 3. Use this data carefully to lower your risk when considering Manchester City vs Aston Villa odds in the Double Chance market.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Manchester City (-1.5) | Aston Villa (+1.5) |
| 10/13 | 10/11 |
| Manchester City (-0.25) | Aston Villa (+0.25) |
| 2/9 | 3/1 |
| Manchester City (-2.75) | Aston Villa (+2.75) |
| 9/4 | 10/33 |
Since both teams have a strong form this season, you may find better value with a handicap bet.
This market gives an advantage to your chosen team and a deficit to the other. The final score gets adjusted based on your chosen handicap. For example, you selected a +1.75 handicap for Aston Villa, and the final score is 3–0. The adjusted score becomes 1.25–1.75, and bets on Villa win, even though they lost the match.
The outcome of the handicap depends on the goal margin. Here are some examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:
- City (-0.25) / Aston Villa (+0.25): Bets on Villa win in case of a draw. However, with a draw, a 0.25 handicap returns only half the bet and stake amounts.
- City (-1.5) / Aston Villa (+1.5): Villa get a lead of two goals as a score of 2–0 will be adjusted to 0.5–1.5. A three-goal difference will lead to a draw (3–0 becomes 1.5–1.5). City will need to win the match with a four-goal margin to overcome this handicap (4–0 becomes 2.5–1.5).
- City (-2.75) / Aston Villa (+2.75): Aston Villa gets a massive five-goal advantage as a score of 5–0 becomes 2.25–2.75 with this handicap. City will need to win by six goals to overcome the deficit.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
| Yes | No |
| 7/13 | 4/3 |
Here, bettors need to consider only one aspect of the match: whether both teams will score or not. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:
- BTTS Yes: Both teams will score at least one goal. The Manchester City vs Aston Villa odds for BTTS Yes are 5/11. This bet wins if the score is at least 1–1 or higher.
- BTTS No: This bet wins if either or both teams don’t score. A successful BTTS No bet will have a zero in the final score, like 1–0, 0–1, 0–0, 0–2, etc. The odds for BTTS No for this fixture are 17/11.
Consider each team’s clean sheets (opposition team score zero) to decide your bet in this market. The higher the clean sheets, the more chances for BTTS No bets.
Villa kept only three clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while City kept six. Use this data to reduce your risk.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 3.5 | Under 3.5 |
| 20/27 | 20/21 |
Predict whether the total goals scored in Sunday’s match will be over or under a fixed number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 3.5 goals. So, if the final score is 2–2, the combined total is 4, and Over 3.5 bets win. Similarly, if the final score is 1–0, the total is 1, meaning Under 3.5 bets win. Any score under three wins in the Under 3.5 market.
Both City and Villa averaged 2.3 goals per match in their last 10 games. This brings their combined average goal total to 4.6, which is well above the 3.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Manchester City vs Aston Villa odds in the Over/Under market.

| Correct Score | Manchester City vs Aston Villa Odds |
| 0–0 | 35/1 |

| 0–2 | 60/1 |
| 2–2 | 15/1 |

Bettors have to predict the precise score in this market. You’ll notice that the Manchester City vs Aston Villa odds in the Correct Score market are long, which makes it a high-paying bet. However, it comes with considerable risk as it is difficult to predict the exact score. So, make sure to bet only small amounts in this market to lower your risk.
