Aston Villa v Newcastle Tip
The Villains are on the rise while the Magpies still have plenty to prove.
Having already analysed how much better Villa have been than their bare results so far, it’s hard not to take them to win this one at best odds of 6/5 with Coral.
However, it seems unthinkable that three points would come without their main man contributing, so instead let’s sweeten the deal by taking Benteke/Villa in a score/win double at best odds of 2/1 with Betfred.
The Belgian international has scored more Premier League goals than anyone else in 2013 and he fired against the Magpies in this fixture in January. The 22-year-old won’t even be feeling the strain of international travel having only ventured as far as Scotland with his country before having a week off.
Paul Lambert’s boys have improved immeasurably since their last meeting with the Toon Army and should claim three points on Saturday with a little help from their star striker.
