Aston Villa vs. Hibernian Betting Tips: Two selections to follow at Villa Park
Having virtually secured their place in the Europa Conference League playoff with a dominant performance in the first leg last week, Aston Villa and Hibernian will come face to face at Villa Park on Thursday night. Our man Anthony Eadson has provided two bets he likes the look of for the game which you can read more about below.
Aston Villa vs Hibernian Tips
Following a commanding 5-0 victory in Edinburgh, which has essentially secured their spot in the group stage, Aston Villa now have the responsibility of finishing the remaining formalities against Hibernian.
After suffering a home loss to Livingston and being heavily defeated by Villa with a five-goal margin, Lee Johnson was dismissed by the Hibernian hierarchy. Prior to this, a series of league defeats against St Mirren and Motherwell, along with an embarrassing loss to Andorran minnows Inter d'Escaldes in the Conference League, had already cast doubts on his position.
With the luxury of being able to approach the second leg at a comfortable pace, Aston Villa should confidently secure their path to the group stage by defeating Hibernian once more.
Emery’s men shouldn’t need to get out of second gear for this one and backing them to win the game as well as Under 3.5 goals being scored looks a nice way here at odds-against with most betting sites.
There are some incredibly short prices in the anytime scorer market on Thursday, but one I think could hold a little bit of juice is the 29/10 that is available with Unibet for John McGinn to find the net.
The 28-year-old will feature against his old club on Thursday, and despite being deployed in a wide position, I still think there’s a good chance he could end up in scoring positions considering Unai Emery’s narrow formation that he sets up with. Bet365 have this selection priced at 8/5, so take the much more healthy offering of 29/10 with Unibet.
