Tight West Midlands Derby Beckons
Either team could end the evening in the top half, but the loser would be in trouble.
Only Hull and Crystal Palace matches have produced fewer goals than both Villa and WBA, yet the bookies seem to have much higher expectations of entertainment in the West Midlands derby.
The Eagles beat the Tigers 1-0 to win us money on Tuesday night and we could strike it lucky in the under 1.5 goal market again on Wednesday; BetVictor are offering a best price 14/5 on it ending 0-0, 1-0 or 0-1.
Villa home fixtures average a meagre total of 2.18 goals while four of the Baggies’ 11 away fixtures have seen under 1.5 goals. You put it all together and the odds here should be less than 2/1. At almost 3/1, we have some definite value.
Odds correct at time of publishing: 07:09 29th Jan, 2014 but subject to change
