Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Manchester United will be aiming to stay in the Champions League berth when they welcome Aston Villa to their Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils are on the right track to secure a top-four finish, but Erik ten Hag must warn his men against complacency. A man to watch in the home team will be fit-again forward Marcus Rashford, who scored his 16th goal of the season in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, while all Heaton, Martinez, Varane, McTominay, Garnacho, and Van de Beek remain in the recovery room.
The Villans, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fulham, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry at “the Theatre of Dreams”. A close encounter is on the cards in the red part of Manchester and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Cash, Kamara, Coutinho, and Bailey should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Aston Villa):
Aston Villa is one of the three clubs that dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682. However, it has to be noted that the highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 76,588 when Aston Villa faced Derby County in the FA Cup back in 1946.
Aston Villa’s fiercest rivals are Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Aston Villa and Wolves and Coventry City is big as well. Aston Villa have won seven First Division (Premier League) trophies, with the team clinching seven FA Cup trophies as well.
The team’s biggest success, though, came in 1982 when they won the European Cup. The Villans defeated Bayern Munich (1-0) in the title game and Peter Withe was named the man of the match.
