However, I don't believe any gambler can ever bet on Guardiola's team to win a match at this stage unless they don't want their money. We believe that gambling is risky, but I would rather bet on Aston Villa to win than on Manchester City, who are now in their worst form. Your prediction is also safe, it's a difficult game that could end with both sides scoring a goal or more than 2.5 goals.
I think setting aside a little money for this bet is still possible to do although if you want to be safer then obviously the choice is to avoid matches that are at risk of failure and this match is one of the risks.
Although Manchester City are favorites, it's just that for this match and with their poor statistics, there will definitely be a sense of skepticism even though their possession in matches always looks good.
