The battle for Champions League qualification continues as Man City host Aston Villa live on Sky.

Villa have been on fire in recent weeks and have recorded 5 consecutive PL wins. A feature of those wins has been the increase in the number of Shots (17-23-23) and Shots on Target (8-8-9) over the last 3 games.

Creating shooting opportunities won’t be so easy at the Etihad as City will look to dominate possession, but I fancy Villa to manage 12+ shots (Evens)

As usual we have a selection of singles that will be mixed and matched for £20 worth of small stake Bet Builders.

SUMMARY

Total Stakes of £80. Good luck with your bets!

Not a great evenings work on the tips and not a great game. Without wanting to go full on Gary Neville, that was a match lacking intensity and excitement, but at least we got a dramatic finish

Only managed a paltry 2 winning selections out of 12.

The biggest bet of the night, Villa to have 12+ shots fell well short, they had 5 in the first half but did very little from an attacking perspective in the 2nd period and only managed another 2 attempts.

We take the hit and move on with a loss of £44.83
