Aston Villa versus West Brom: The betting superfacts
Aston Villa/WBA, Sat 12.45pm, Sky Sports 1, Free Bets, Best Odds
chickendinner is aware that Aston Villa are overwhelming 2/5 favourites to overcome local rivals West Brom tomorrow lunchtime but rather than letting that put you off betting on the game, our researcher Danny Harris has looked into loads of possible bets to consider backing:
» Don’t expect an upset - Villa have lost just one home league game this season while Scott Carson has only managed one clean sheet in his past fourteen games for the Baggies. Bottom of the league West Brom also have the worst goal difference (-19) and have lost eight out of their 10 away games.
» Villa have scored three or more goals seven times this season and West Brom have only managed three away goals in ten games, making the 10/1 offered by Betfair for 3-0 Villa an attractive bet. West Brom have also shipped in 19 goals away from home – the second worst record in the league.
» Bet British - Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Gareth Barry and Steve Sidwell have scored 20 of the sides 33 league goals this year. A non-English player hasn’t scored a league goal for them (excluding own goals) since October.
