Our Tip Methodology

At FootballTips, every prediction is shaped by a mix of data-driven analysis and informed football insight. Our contributors consider a wide range of factors before recommending a bet – from recent form and head-to-head records to tactical matchups, team news, and underlying stats.

We look for patterns in goal trends, home and away splits, player performance, and betting market movement to identify where the value lies. We don’t just tip favourites – we aim to find selections that offer a genuine edge. Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.

Why We’re Backing BTTS @ 21/20 with BetMGM

  • Both teams have scored in each of Villa’s last five Premier League contests, while Arsenal failed to keep clean sheets against lowly Wolves and struggling Brighton in recent weeks. 
  • A remarkable 20 of Aston Villa’s 29 Premier League goals this season have come following November’s defeat to Liverpool, but Arsenal will be confident they can repel the visitors’ attacking advances.

Why We’re Backing Draw @ 57/17 with Unibet

  • Although Villa are pursuing a remarkable 12th consecutive victory, most will expect this sequence to come to an end in midweek.
  • Arsenal are one of just two Premier League clubs to remain undefeated on home turf this season, sharing this accolade with newly-promoted Sunderland.

Arsenal Form/Stats

  • The Gunners have conceded just six goals at the Emirates so far this season, despite the absence of several first-choice defenders through injury.

Aston Villa Form/Stats

  • Villa have only lost twice on the road this term, succumbing to Brentford in their first away outing before being beaten 2-0 at Anfield during Liverpool’s wretched run of form.

Player to Watch

Powerful, dynamic and capable of both creating and clinically taking goalscoring opportunities, Morgan Rogers is a constant attacking threat. 

Before setting up Ollie Watkins to grab the all-important equaliser during last Saturday’s 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge, Rogers registered back-to-back braces.

The former Middlesbrough star scored twice in East London to help Villa overcome West Ham, before repeating the feat against Manchester United at Villa Park.   

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Head-to-Head Record 

Arsenal have lost three of their five most recent Premier League meetings with Tuesday’s opponents – if Villa secure maximum points once again, it’ll be the third time they’ve completed the double over the Gunners in the last six seasons. 

Earlier this month, Arsenal lost for just the second time this season after conceding extremely late on at Villa Park. The Gunners thought they had at least rescued a point when Leandro Trossard converted from close range to cancel out Matty Cash’s opener, but Emi Buendía fired home following an injury-time goalmouth scramble to ensure the hosts continued their incredible winning run.
