Aston Villa is one of the most consistent home teams in Europe and we will continue to include them to our soccer picks and parlays.

While that may still be fanciful with just over half the campaign still to come, Unai Emery’s side should maintain their flying home form just before Christmas and swat aside Sheffield, which is in the midst of a relegation scrap.

Over/Under Pick: Under 3, 3½ Goals (-115)

Suffering just a single loss in their previous 16 appearances across all competitions, a run that stems all the way back to Sep. 27, Aston Villa has continued to gain a reputation for their stunning success on home soil.

Sheffield scored just four goals on the road this term and we don’t expect them to score against Villa. If you’re betting online expect Villa to keep a clean sheet.

Player Prop Pick: Ollie Watkins 1+ Goals (-143)

Continuing to break a string of records this season and already recording nine Premier League strikes, the red-hot Ollie Watkins will spearhead Emery’s charge this weekend. He scored four goals in his previous six EPL appearances and we expect him to once again deliver as one of the best soccer bets this week.

Best Game Prop: Aston Villa Wins and Total Under 3½ Goals (Ev)

Emery’s side has beaten all-comers at Villa Park this season, a run of form that includes eye-catching back-to-back 1-0 victories over Manchester City and Arsenal.

We don’t expect them to destroy Sheffield United on Friday because the busy festive period is about to get under way and they will try to stay fresh for the upcoming games.

Boubacar Kamara got a red card last weekend so he will also skip the upcoming game. Kamara appeared in 16 Premier League matches this season, so his absence could be very important.
