Chelsea v Aston Villa Odds for Crucial Premier League Encounter

Get the latest odds for the Chelsea versus Aston Villa Premier League match on Sunday 2nd January 2011.

The aspirations of both teams will be severely tested in this absolutely vital Chelsea v Aston Villa Premier League encounter this weekend at Stamford Bridge. With Chelsea desperate to win the League and Villa equally desperate to win the fourth place spot, the match promises to be one of the most exciting of the season. Chelsea have been made odds on favourites to win at 2/5 by Paddypower but Villa fans and neutral punters will certainly be tempted to back Villa at odds of 17/2 offered by the same Bookmakers; the draw which should not be discounted is a 10/3 alternative.

After being held to an unsatisfactory draw by Blackburn last weekend, Chelsea bounced back in midweek to trounce relegated Portsmouth 5-0 at Fratton Park, with two goals apiece scored by top scorer, Didier Drogba and the in form Florent Malouda. It was a much needed boost for the ‘Blues’ but they know that they cannot afford a slip up this week against Villa, or their title ambitions could ‘go out of the window’ rapidly. Drogba in fact is favourite to score the opening goal in this match with odds of 3/1 from Paddy Power and he is the same price from the same Bookmakers to score two goals or more in the match.

Villa who are still unbeaten in the league in 2010, have suffered badly lately by only drawing games in which they should have won. Three draws in their last four league games has cost them six vital points and they are now struggling to stay with the pace to claim the 4th Champions League spot. A defeat therefore in this match would virtually end their chances, meaning that Chelsea can expect to play against team fiercely determined to claim the points.

Despite recent defeat by Man City, Chelsea’ home record remains awesome and we think that this will put them in good stead for the match ahead, which we take them to win by a very narrow margin. We would therefore back them to win by either a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline, both of which has odds of 6/1 with Paddy Power
