This really is the
battle for fifth spot in the Premiership
as a resurgent Aston Villa side travel
to Goodison Park to face David Moyes'
Everton side. It really has been a bad
ending to the season for Everton, who
only have one win in their last six
games and it seems that since the injury
to inspirational midfielder Tim Cahill,
the side really has looked below par.
What will please Everton fans however is
the £2m capture of young midfielder
Steven Pienaar who does look like having
a bright future for the Toffees. This
really is going to be a tough game for
Everton as they face a Villa side
finishing the season strongly.
.
 I
cant really say how well Villa are playing
at the moment. We only have to look at last
weeks 5-1 win over Birmingham for evidence
as to how good a team Villa are becoming.
Martin O'Neil has really built a side around
the foundations of Laursen, Knight and Scott
Carson in defence, together with Gareth
Barry in midfield and Agbonlahor up front.
If we consider his additional signings of
John Carew and the superb Ashley Young in
midfield, Villa look like a very difficult
team to beat at the moment. Villa have won
their last three games on the bounce,
scoring an amazing 15 goals and conceding
only once!
The bookmakers make Everton favourites at
5/4, while the Villa away win is 9/4 and the
draw is 21/10.
The curves of these teams are both going
in different directions at the moment.
Everton are really looking for the season
to end as soon as possible as their form has
been dire, while Villa would want the season
to carry on as they are playing their best
football of the year.
Bet365 offer a
free £100 bet on this game
and at 9/4 Villa definitely have to be the
call.
Everton are strong at home, but have only
scored four times in their last seven games,
which really is shocking. If we consider
Villa's attacking options, with 15 scored in
only their last three, there is a good
chance today that they will simply outscore
the Toffees.
I'm on the Villa win but I am
taking into the account the strength of
Everton's home form, so am going to go with
a saver on the correct score of 1-1 @ 6/1.
Aston Villa to continue their great end
to the season. © Free-Bets.uk 2008
