FOOTBALL BETTING: Blackburn haven’t won in ten in all competitions and it’s hard to see them snapping that sequence as they take on Aston Villa in the Carling Cup semi-final at Ewood Park tonight.
Victor Chandler make Rovers 15/8 to take a lead to Villa Park, while Martin O’Neill’s side are 8/5 (Betfred) to put themselves firmly in the driving seat ahead of the pair’s second encounter in just over a fortnight’s time.
Co-incidentally, the pair met in the FA Cup on Saturday, Villa prevailing 3-1, but it’s Paddy Power’s 9/4 for the draw that looks the call in this one, as Sam Allardyce’s men are relatively solid on their own patch.
888Sport post an alluring 6/1 against the contest finishing one-each and in a clash that Jaxx.com price at 4/5 to produce fewer than 2.5 goals, the hosts look decent value at 11/10 (Ladbrokes) to break the deadlock.
