Reading v Aston Villa Betting Preview

22nd February, 2008

This Sunday sees Aston Villa go to Reading for a 12.30pm kick off.

Reading, who quickly found themselves in the relegation zone are due to host a team who, this season, have played in top form. Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa, in sixth place on 44 points, have only lost once in the last ten matches they've played. They will see this game as a great chance for another three points and a step further to their hopes of finishing in the top four, which currently lies only three points away (Everton, 47 points).

Reading themselves have lost seven consecutive league games under Steve Coppell and are in desperate need to start finding their form, and some points, or they could well find themselves in The Championship next season.

As you would expect, today's bookie's price Aston Villa as favourites at 7/5 (Centrebet). The best bets on Reading are at Better where they are on 7/4.
