Aston Villa v Arsenal Betting Looks Good For Score Draw

Aston Villa take on Arsenal at Villa Park this week knowing that anything other than a win will seriously jeopardize their hopes of a top four place in the league. Arsenal meanwhile will want to put Saturday’s FA Cup defeat behind them and return to the winning ways that has seen them recently vie for top spot. The match therefore has all the ingredients to make for a classic encounter a prospect not lost on the bookmakers, who have the betting very close.

Paddy Power, for instance have made Arsenal 13/10 favourites to win the match, while Villa are priced at 2/1 with the draw being a best price 12/5 option. If punters do not think that there is enough value with those odds, they should scan the comprehensive match markets made available by Paddy Power, a selection of which is listed below.

Villa have had four wins in their last five games but not one of those has come in the Premier League. They came in the two legs played against Blackburn in the Carling Cup Semi Final and against Blackburn again in the FA Cup 3rd round and then last weekend against Brighton in the FA Cup 4th round. Their recent Premier League form has been haphazard at best, with two defeats to end 2009 against Liverpool and of course Arsenal,who beat them easily by 3-0 at the Emirates over Christmas.

Apart from a shocking defensive performance against Stoke last weekend, which cost them the match, Arsenal have been in fantastic form and went top of the League, albeit briefly last week and are now running neck and neck with both Man Utd and Chelsea at the top of the table. They are the League’s top scorers, averaging just about three goals a game and know that they will need to win this match if they are to maintain their challenge.

We think that Villa will have to improve the frailties shown last time against Arsenal if they are not to lose this match, but we also see them being good enough on home soil to get at least a draw in this match. A draw will not really suit either side but it just looks like one of those games when it is difficult to see any other outcome. A one-all draw looks favourite to us and we would back that with Paddy Power with odds of 5/1.
