23-01-2008 Premiership Betting - Matchday 24 Preview

The FA Cup is the main focus of English soccer betting action this weekend, but as Aston Villa and Blackburn are already eliminated, they face each other in the solitary Premiership fixture on Saturday. Less however is more if you take advantage of up to 60% better Premiership betting odds at PinnacleSports.com.

Two of the Premiership’s upcoming British managers meet at Villa Park on Saturday, in the weekend’s only Premiership fixture. Martin O’Neill has performed a near revolution at Aston Villa with the side challenging for European football, and boasting some of the best young talent in the division in the shape of Ashley Young and Gabriel Agbonlahor. The pair have been integral to the team’s success, which was two minute’s away from a famous victory at Anfield on Monday night. The game ended 2-2, only the second time this season Liverpool have conceded two goals at home.

Blackburn’s Mark Hughes is seen as a likely successor to Alex Ferguson and was strongly linked with the Newcastle post. Sparky has managed Rovers since 2004, and with a combination of astute transfers and excellent motivational skills has led them to consecutive European campaigns. Hughes will have been disappointed by the recent 4-1 FA Cup home defeat by Coventry City (of the Championship) and also by the 4-0 defeat that Villa inflicted on them at Ewood Park last November. However, they have won their last two away league fixtures and victory at Villa Park could put them on level points with the Claret and Blues, which would be crucial to their continuing European aspirations. PinnacleSports.com make Aston Villa marginal favourites 2.050 (-0.5)* with Blackburn 1.877 (+0.5)*.
