Apr 9: English Football Betting Preview

THERE are some big games today and best bets could be Bournemouth at Aston Villa. I'd back anyone to beat doomed Villa these days so to see Eddie Howe's visitors at 6-5 with McBookie and bet365 is tempting.

Villa have lost four in a row without scoring while Bournemouth were in good form before losing heavily to Spurs and Man City.

Bournemouth are safe and can enjoy their trip. They attack well away from home and have netted 18 on the road – that's one more than Man City. Back them to score 2+ at 13-10 with Coral.

Norwich aren't safe but their making a good fist of it and will draw level with Crystal Palace if they beat them at Selhurst Park today. After last week's late win against Newcastle the Canaries tempt at 15-4 with Ladbrokes but a score draw at 19-5 with McBookie is possible.

Newcastle face another defeat at a Southampton side who will go for goals. Rafa Benitez's visitors won't sit back either so consider Saints and both to score at 11-4 with William Hill and Betfred.

At the other end of the table Arsenal face a testing lunchtime visit to a West Ham side who are unbeaten in 15 at home.

A Hammers win will make it interesting in the race for a top-four place but I can see this ending all square. Both should score too, with 15 goals in West Ham's last four and this market has come up in five of the last six meetings. A draw and both to score pays at 15-4 at BetVictor.

In the Championship best bet could be Derby, 4-0 winners against Hull in midweek, at home to Bolton. They are 3-10 with Stan James so for value take them -1 at 5-6 with Paddy Power.
