Recent output points the same way: Manchester United have averaged 0.6 scored and 1.6 conceded, Aston Villa 1.8 and 1.2 over their recent games. That fits an open goals environment: 56.0% for over 2.5 and 79.5% for at least two goals. Their last 5 meetings have averaged 2.4 goals a game. Manchester United have gone over 2.5 in 1 of their last 5, Aston Villa in 3 of 5. This is a model estimate; validation depends on the market and available sample.

In-depth analysis

Looking at totals, the model sees 56.0% for three or more goals and 79.5% for at least two, painting a balanced picture. With Manchester United favoured at 48.4%, neither side dominating can mean an end-to-end match.
