Premiership Betting Preview 9th February

Aston Villa v Newcastle

Villa’s eight-match unbeaten run came to an abrupt end against relegation-contenders Fulham on Sunday, the same day that Michael Owen scored the first goal of the Kevin Keegan Mk II era in their 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at St. James’ Park. The return fixture ended goal-less, and both teams will be hoping for all three points from this encounter, Villa to stake a claim on fourth place, and Newcastle to get their first win in 9 premier league games.

Villa are the favourites to pick up all three points with SkyBet offering the best odds of 10/11 for the Home Win. Newcastle are at 19/5 with VC Bet. Boyle Sports offer the draw at 5/2.

Premiership Betting Preview 3rd February

Fulham v Aston Villa

New signing Erik Nevland could start for Fulham against Villa at Craven Cottage in the latter of the two Sunday games in the premiership this week. Ashley Young will miss his first game of the season for the Villains courtesy of a suspension. Fulham will remain in the bottom two, even if they manage to put Aston Villa to defeat and record a precious first maximum for boss Roy Hodgson. Villa are also desperate for the points, to keep them within striking distance of the Top Four, and a lucrative Champions League place.

Fulham are 12/5 (totesport) to record their first win in 15 games. They are the Premier League’s draw specialists, so the draw at 23/10 (William Hill) is a generous price. Boyle…

Premiership Betting Preview 2nd February

Birmingham v Derby

David Murphy joins the Birmingham squad after his £1.5m transfer from Hibs. James McFadden should start, and Alex McLeish may also give a start to Mauro Zarate. Derby new boys Alan Stubbs and Roy Carroll could make starts whilst Paul Jewell waits on international clearance for Mile Sterjovski.

It’s now almost certain that Derby will be making a swift return to the Championship from whence they came. It will be interesting to see whether The Blues will be doing the same, and this match will have a massive impact on that. Bet365 have Birmingham as the 8/13 favourites, with Derby at 11/2 for their second win of the season. The draw at 11/4 (William Hill) looks attractive.

Blackburn v Everton

Blackburn…

Premiership Betting Preview 30th January

Chelsea v Reading

It will be a depleted Chelsea side that face Reading at Stamford Bridge, with John Terry, Andriy Shevchenko and Frank Lampard out through injury, and four others missing due to African Cup duties. Michael Ballack also faces a fitness test on a calf strain. Reading have several players out themselves, including 3 at the African Cup of Nations.

Chelsea are unbeaten in six, whilst Steve Coppells side are looking for their first win in six. If Chelsea avoid defeat, they will extend their unbeaten home record to 75 matches. Skybet have the Blues at 1/4 strong favourites, with Reading at 14/1 with Boylesports.

Derby County appear to have passed the point of no return at the bottom…

Premiership Betting Preview 29th January

Arsenal v Newcastle

Arsenal face Newcastle just three short days after convincingly beating them 3-0 in the FA Cup, knowing that a win will put them three points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premiership (Well, until tomorrow night at least), whilst the Magpies first game since the arrival of Denis Wise from Leeds sees them looking for both their first win, and first goal since the return of King Kev.

Arsenal are unbeaten in seven games, whilst Newcastle have failed to win in any of their last seven premiership matches, and haven’t scored in over 5 hours of football. On paper at least, a banked home win, with BoyleSports offering just 1/3 for the home win, whilst Bet365 will give you 12/1 for a…
