The Asian total goals initially opened at 2.5, with the over at 0.90 and the under also at 0.90. The live data has seen the over rise to 0.95, while the under has dropped to 0.85, indicating a clear shift towards the under. The European odds initially showed Arsenal at 1.80 for the win, a draw at 3.60, and Aston Villa at 4.20. The live adjustments are Arsenal at 1.85, a draw at 3.50, and Aston Villa at 4.00, with decreases in the draw and Aston Villa's odds, consistent with the Asian under trend. The initial Asian handicap opened with Arsenal at -0.5, with the odds at mid-level. The live odds maintain the -0.5 handicap, but with a slight increase in Arsenal's win odds, implying Arsenal's advantage, but a less likely large win, which indirectly supports the limited total goals. Initial data already supported the under, and live data further strengthens this, the over odds rising indicates a lack of heat, and the under odds decreasing show that the market favors it. Prediction: Under 2.75, 0-1 or 1-1.
