How to spend your money.
What a start to the season it has been for Aston Villa, both domestically and in the Champions League. The win at home to Bayern Munich will live long in the memory of Aston Villa fans and another good start to the Premier League season has given hope that the top 4 finish last season wasn’t a flash in the pan. The summer addition Amadou Onana has made a good start to life at Villa Park and seems to have softened the loss of Douglas Luiz somewhat. His £50m arrival from Everton raised some eyebrows but the midfielder is suited to a more progressive team and has impressed so far for Villa.
Another Premier League top 4 Finish?
In the latest betting odds for a top 4 finish this season, Aston Villa are best priced 5/1 and the bookies are suggesting there is one place up for grabs behind Arsenal (1/20), Manchester City (1/6) and Liverpool (1/6). In the top 6 odds, Villa are 11/10 and this would probably indicate another good season for Unai Emery’s men. The added matches that the Champions League brings will test the strength of the squad and it would be no surprise to see Villa struggle more as the season goes on. The same fate was suffered by Newcastle on their return to the Champions League last year.
Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle are predicted to be the sides battling out for the one remaining Champions League place and the Villains currently sit in fifth place, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea. Come the end of the season, they may look back on dropped points away to Ipswich and at home to Manchester United and if there is any room for improvement then you would probably look at the defensive performances, with just one clean sheet registered in the Premier League so far and two goals conceded against both Everton and Ipswich.
Watkins to Challenge Haaland?
Ollie Watkins will always be Villa’s biggest goal threat and he’s 28/1 to end the season as Premier League top scorer but it is super-sub Jhon Duran who has grabbed all the headlines in front of goal so far. He scored a screamer to complete the comeback against Everton and his audacious lob secured the 1-0 win against Bayern Munich.
Villa’s Champions League Odds
Looking at the Champions League odds, Aston Villa are 40/1 to lift the trophy but even the staunchest Villa fan will probably admit that is out of reach, however, they’ve put themselves in a great position to finish in the top 8 and they’re 5/6 to stay there.

What is the best Aston Villa bet this season?

In effect, this means that if Aston Villa finish ahead of all the other teams in the league, excluding Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham, the bet will be a winner.
