Home / Football / Three Points Beckons For O'Neill And His Team

Aston Villa v Burnley Betting Offers Little Hope for The Clarets

Having earned a vital three points against West Ham a fortnight ago, Brian Laws and his Burnley team came crashing back to reality last week after being thumped by Fulham by 0-3. That defeat was their fifth in their last six matches and now they must face Aston Villa at Villa Park, who have yet to taste defeat this year!

It is little wonder therefore that Villa have been made massive 4/11 odds on favourites in the betting, to take the three points, with Burnley rated at only a 9/1 chance and the draw a 10/3 option. These odds are available from Paddy Power

Although Villa have yet to be beaten in any competition so far this year, it has to be said that they have drawn many of those games, including four of their last five, which in some respects has cost them momentum in the race for fourth place in the Premier League. There is no doubt that manager, Martin O’Neill will want to take the three points from this.

To assist O’Neill, he should have England striker, Gabi Agbonlahor back from injury as well as Emile Heskey and Stiliyan Petrov, giving his an almost full strength squad to select from. Agbonlahor has scored 12 times for Villa so far this season and may well be a good bet to be on the scoresheet on Sunday. He has the following Goalscorer odds in the betting.

First Goalscorer – 7/2
Last Goalscorer – 7/2
Anytime Goalscorer – 10/11
To Score Two Goals or More – 7/2

The last time the two teams met was back in November at Turf Moor which ended in a 1-1 draw, courtesy of a late Villa equalizer from Emile Heskey, who came on as substitute. There is some argument that suggests that this game might go the same way, but we doubt it. Instead we think that Villa will have too much in their favour at Villa Park, where they have only lost twice this season. We expect therefore a Villa win, probably by one or two goals and offer a variety of Correct Score betting options below.
