Aston Villa vs Liverpool Match Prediction and Free Football Tips

August 22, 2013 Thatsbettingtips Staff

Villa Park is the venue for Saturday’s evening fixture between Aston Villa and Liverpool in what will be a tasty encounter in Birmingham and we have got football tips for the match.

A home win is priced at 3/1, the draw at 5/2 with Liverpool favourites at 10/11(Ladbrokes).

Villa had a superb start to the season by beating Arsenal 3-1 at The Emirates on Saturday as Paul Lambert’s young side thoroughly impressed in their opening game.

Villa will be keen to make it back-to-back victories on Saturday and improve on last season’s showing which saw them flirt with relegation for most of the season.

The man whose goals arguably kept Villa in the division, Belgian Striker Christian Benteke, scored twice at the weekend at The Emirates and will be a popular bet to net on Saturday by many punters.

The Reds themselves also had an opening day win, with debutant Simon Mignolet to thank after saving a last minute penalty against Stoke to secure a 1-0 victory at Anfield.

Brendan Rogers’ side had a poor start to last season but found their feet halfway through to guide his side to seventh place. There is no doubt though Liverpool will be aiming for a higher finish this term, with Champions League football the objective.

Still without suspended star man Luis Suarez, other forwards Iago Aspas and Daniel Sturridge put in decent shifts against The Potters last weekend, with Sturridge netting the only goal.

This looks set to be a close game on Saturday, possibly ending in both teams leaving with a share of the points at Villa Park.
