English Premier League betting - Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers

Aston Villa host Bolton Wanderers this week, with the Trotters having been thrashed twice by Chelsea in their last two games. Villa have not been in great form either, failing to win in their last three games since they beat Chelsea. Villa are currently seventh in the league and they are one of a clutch of clubs hoping to take advantage of Liverpool’s weakness to qualify for the Champions League.

Martin O’Neill’s men are favourites for the clash at 4/5 (bet £50 to make £40 profit), with Bolton coming in at 4/1 and the draw at 5/2.

England striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has been in potent form recently and is favourite to open the scoring at 5/1. John Carew and Emile Heskey are next, at 6/1 and 13/2 respectively. Nathan Delfouneso is next at 8/1, and Bolton’s best hope is Kevin Davies at 9/1.

Villa are 7/4 to be winning at half time and full time, and draw / Villa is at 7/2. Draw / draw is at 5/1, with Bolton / Bolton at 9/1 and draw / Bolton at 10/1.

A 1-0 win for Villa is the favourite result at 6/1, followed by a 1-1 draw at 13/2. A 2-1 win for Villa is at 7/1 as is a 2-0 win. A goalless draw is at 9/1.

Villa will hope that Liverpool, who are playing on Monday, slip up, which would enable them to move ahead of the team if they win. Villa are 12/1 to finish in the top four this season and are 8/1 to win without the big four.
