Football Multi Bet: $18.72 Tip for Wednesday

Manchester City welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad on Wednesday morning for a key Premier League clash in the battle for Champions League qualification. With five spots up for grabs this season, the margin for error may be wider—but the stakes remain sky-high. We explore the best betting sites NZ below to find the top betting deals of the match for a three-leg multi. 

Manchester City to Win and Both Teams to Score

Both Manchester City and Aston Villa have scored seven goals in their last two matches across all competitions. So, this is a battle of two teams who are in great scoring form. 

City are on a 14-match winning streak at home against the Birmingham outfit. Villa’s record against fellow Champions League hopefuls has left plenty to be desired this season. 

They should be able to find the net against a City backline that shipped 21 goals at home this season, which is their worst defensive record at Etihad since the 2015/16 season. But that might not be enough for Unai Emery’s men to avoid another defeat at the champion’s den.

Marcus Rashford to Score

Marcus Rashford has found a new lease on life since joining Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United in January. He has scored three times and registered six assists in 16 appearances since joining the club. 

The Man United loanee scored against City for the Red Devils at Etihad in the 2019/20 season and led his side to a 2-1 win. Overall, he has found the back of the net against City on six occasions. 

Rashford has regained his confidence at Villa, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see him scoring on Wednesday. Bookmaker 20Bet is offering $3.00 odds on Rashford to score in this match — a tempting offer that makes a great second leg for this football betting multi.

Omar Marmoush to Score

Betting apps are quite confident of Omar Marmoush’s scoring chances in this tie. The Egyptian has hit the ground running after his mid-season switch to Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt. 

With Erling Haaland sidelined with an injury, Marmoush is expected to lead the line for City once again. He has already bagged a hat-trick this season and will be looking to add to his tally against a Villa side that has collected only one point on the road against the other five teams in the current Premier League top five. 

With four goals in his last five appearances, Marmoush presents a strong case to hit the target against Villa as well.
