Manchester City to beat Aston Villa 8/15:
Short odds on this one but Manchester City’s trip to Villa Park looks like a sure thing. City have had two great results in the past week, picking up their first away win of the season in the Champions League before the derby demolition of Manchester United. City are now five unbeaten in all competitions and are on the up. Villa have made an OK to their league campaign with two wins and three defeats to their name but they have lost both of their home league fixtures to date and were battered 4-0 by Spurs at home in the League Cup on Tuesday. Villa really struggle at home and have lost three in a row there in the league and won just one of their last six. With City full of confidence, things shouldn’t get much better for Villa.
Burnley to beat Charlton 5/6:
Burnley have been a bit of a surprise package so far this season and currently sit 2nd. They have lost just once in their eight league matches this season and are going strong. Their home form has been especially strong with them unbeaten in their four home matches. Three wins in their last four in the league shows how well Burnley are doing. Charlton on the other hand are struggling and sit 20th in the league. Just one win under their belt to date, they need points to pull away from the drop zone. They are without a win in their last three in the league and have yet to win on the road this season. With Burnley going so strong at home and Charlton so poor away, Burnley should take the points here.
Leicester to beat Barnsley 1/2:
Another short odds one here but the contrasting fortunes of these two sides make Leicester look like certs. Leicester are currently third in the league and are going well this season. They have lost just once in eight matches and are unbeaten in their last four. The Foxes have been especially impressive at home with three wins and a draw under their belt. They have won three on the trot at home and against a struggling Barnsley should carry this on. Barnsley are in a lot of trouble, second bottom and with just one win this season. They have now lost three on the spin in the league and aren’t looking great. Form on the road has been an especially big worry. The Tykes have lost all four of their away matches so far this season and against a team going so well they should struggle.
Reading to beat Birmingham 4/5:
Life back in the Championship didn’t start off the best for Reading but they are now starting to find some form. They are now unbeaten in their last four matches and are sitting just outside the play-offs. They are unbeaten at home with two wins and two draws and will be hoping to move in to the play-offs with a win here. Birmingham picked up a moral boosting win against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend but are still right down there in a relegation scrap. Before last weekend Birmingham had won just one of their last five and weren’t playing well. On the road though they are really struggling with just one win in their last four and three defeats on the spin. Reading are a side on the up in this league and against a poor Birmingham side should take the points.
Leyton Orient to beat Walsall 4/5:
It is almost impossible to leave Leyton Orient out of accumulators at the minute with their form so impressive. 100% record still intact they have won their first eight league matches. They really have been very impressive and this run could go on and on. Walsall haven’t made a bad start to the season and sit seventh. However, with Orient playing so well and full of confidence, Walsall could struggle to keep up their play-off push in this one.
