2024-25 Premier League season's second round will feature an exciting match as Arsenal travels to face their nemesis Aston Villa. Last season, Arsenal, who had been leading the league table for a while, suffered two defeats at the hands of Aston Villa, thanks to their former manager Emery. In the second round of the new season, the two teams will face off again, making it a highly anticipated match. According to the latest betting data, there is strong support for Arsenal's away victory, with the odds at 1.58, indicating their chances of revenge.
Under Emery's leadership last season, Aston Villa performed exceptionally well and eventually secured the fourth place in the league, a remarkable improvement from their previous season when they failed to qualify for European competitions. In the new season, Aston Villa has been very active in the transfer market, spending over 170 million euros on signings such as Onana, Mattsson, and Fillolgien, strengthening their squad's overall strength and depth.
On the other hand, Arsenal has shown a pattern of starting strong but losing momentum in the last two seasons. In the new season, they have maintained their core lineup and strengthened their defense, which has improved their overall strength. They started the new season with a 2-0 victory over Wolves, boosting their confidence and morale. However, last season Arsenal missed out on the title due to Aston Villa's double win, so both teams have a score to settle. Arsenal is determined to defeat their nemesis this time.
The official odds for this match are 4.35 (Aston Villa win), 3.75 (draw), and 1.58 (Arsenal win), with Arsenal being the favorite as the away team. In terms of score, a 2-1 victory for Arsenal has the lowest odds at 7, followed by a 1-1 draw at 7.5. Arsenal's 1-0 and 2-0 victories are both below 10. Overall, Arsenal's away performance, backed by data from last season's double defeat, is still favored. Both teams have seen an improvement in their strength this new season, but on paper, Arsenal has the advantage, coupled with the desire for revenge.
