Aston Villa are clear cut favourites to take the three points in this local derby match against Birmingham at Villa Park on Sunday. However, should they fail, then they might as well ‘kiss goodbye’ to their outside chance of claiming the vital fourth place in the league which would bring Champions League football to the club next season. Villa are in fact a best price of 8/13 odds on to win the match, with Birmingham quoted by Bet365 at 5/1 and the draw at 11/4.

Villa have only lost six league games all season, but will be regretting the fact that they simply have not secured enough wins which would have made their challenge almost irresistible; instead they have played out 13 draws, eight of them at home. That said, they have won their last two and a win in this against a Birmingham side with little left to play for would still keep them in the Top 4 race for now.

2010 Premier League Top 4 Odds.

Birmingham have, for many, been the surprise team this season in the Premier League. After a poor start to the campaign, where they were amongst the favourites in the Relegation Market, they began a push in late Autumn, that resulted in them establishing themselves in the top ten and at one point they were in the Top 4 race themselves.

Brum manager, Alex McLeish therefore will not want the season to end on a low note with a poor result against their biggest rivals, so punters can expect a full blooded Birmingham performance in a match that they are perfectly capable of winning.

Villa came out on top by 1-0 when the two teams met at St Andrews in the league last September and on current form with the current motivations of each team considered, we think that scoreline would be our favoured outcome in this match as well. A 1-0 Villa win carries attractive odds of 6/1 with Bet 365

Gabi Agbonlahor and James Milner have been Villa’s biggest threats just lately and with both pushing for an England World Cup squad place, punters can expect big games from them. Agbonlahor who scored a cracking goal against Hull City the other night is a 4/1 shot with BET365 to open the scoring in this, while Milner is at 7/1 to do the same.
