Aston Villa vs Burnley Betting Tips
- Our Tip – Villa to Win @ EVENS on 888Sport
With Burnley currently fighting for their lives in the relegation zone, this is a must-win game for the away side.
While they will enter this fixture with the knowledge that a win will bring them two points above fellow rivals Leeds, an away fixture at Villa park is a tricky fixture.
Despite this, Aston Villa are without a win in two and given the vicinity to the drop zone and the implications a loss might have, the Clarets will have to throw everything at this.
However, we are predicting a similar result to the one we saw in the reverse of this fixture just ten days ago, where Steven Gerrard’s men cruised to a comfortable 3-1 victory at Turf Moor. They will be chasing a top half finish before the season draws to a close and can move within a point of doing so here.
Aston Villa vs Burnley Predictions
- Our Prediction – 2-0 Aston Villa @ 17/2 on 888Sport
Our prediction for this one is a 2-0 win for Villa.
While Burnley will be pushing for a vital victory here, the recent reverse of this fixture exemplified the gulf in quality between the two and Villa will be eager to finish on a strong note in their last home fixture of the season.
We’re predicting a 2-0 victory to inflict further damage to Burnley’s survival hopes, and extend their fight for survival to the final day against Newcastle.
