Game Preview
Monaco didn’t get a good intro for this matchup, as they lost to Montpellier this Friday night, 2-1. This was the fourth meeting in a row in which the team from Monte Carlo failed to win, and three of those events ended with them losing.
Defense has been a key problem for this unit. They haven’t kept a clean sheet for the past six straight events. The efficiency of all these matches was high, and five of them ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 hits.
Aston Villa made a comeback against Arsenal, which saw them climb back way up after a 2-0 deficit. It was 2-2 at the Emirates, where they managed to snatch more points from the Gunners and once again prove that under Emery, they aren’t a team to mess with if you are Arsenal.
Over the last 10 games, the Villains played seven and saw over 2.5 goals, with both teams netting. It’s been pretty common for Aston Villa to both score and allow goals.
Monaco vs. Aston Villa Head-to-Head
These two teams have not played in European competitions so far. This will be their first meeting on the international stage.
Monaco vs. Aston Villa Prediction
Goals are in our focus here. As you can see, both Monaco and Villa participate in high-scoring affairs, and we believe this one, too, will bring plenty of excitement. That’s why we bet on over 2.5 goals.
