After a disappointing week of betting on the whole, Saturday is here again and the day to put everything right. The Premier League is as difficult as ever to work out but there may be a couple of value bets knocking around.
Blackburn have lost 9 of 14 away this season and have failed to keep a clean sheet away from Ewood all season. Villa have only won 5 of their 13 home games but did beat Blackburn 3-1 in the FA Cup just 4 weeks ago. Neither team have won since then but I expect Villa to edge this one by the odd goal. They are best priced 4/5 (SkyBet).
In form Bolton make the trip to the North East to face Newcastle who bagged their first win in 7 last time out. Without Andy Carroll they still seem to be finding the net but Bolton have been flying recently. Having said that, Botlon have only 2 wins on the road this season and no clean sheets. I can see Newcastle coming out attacking but their defensive frailties may again be exposed so I will go for the draw at 12/5 (SkyBet).
The third game I will look at is Wolves vs Blackpool. Both these teams are more unpredictible that the Middle East at the moment and all I can say about this one is there is going to be goals, I don't know who for, or who will score or when they will score, but expect goals. For this reason I will go for over 2.5 goals at 4/5 (VC). There may be some value is backing Blackpool for the brave soles amongst us as 7/2 is a very good price for a team who are scoring goals for fun.
Taking a quick look at the Championship, there are a couple of teams I think represent good value and would give a healthy boost to any accumulator bets this weekend. Firstly Leicester play Coventry at the Walkers Stadium and after their 2-0 defeat to Cardiff last week I expect them to bounce back and win this one at 8/15. The other team I fancy is Norwich, their form has been a bit patchy of late but coming to the real business end of the season they should rediscover there best form and leave Barnsley with all 3 points. They are best priced 8/5.
Aston Villa WIN, Bolton v Newcastle DRAW, Leicester WIN, Norwich WIN 4-fold pays around 23/1
Add Blackpool WIN for a 100/1 5-fold.
Good Luck
