Monday 26 December 2011 at 16:57
This week’s Monday Night Football is Stoke v Aston Villa and this derby is likely to go the way of the home side and the majority that has tipped Stoke on the OLBG Tipster Competition seem to think Stoke are great value to make it five wins from six games in the Premiership.
Stoke Backed At Decent Odds For Boxing Day Win
Stoke are the favourites to win this game, as you’d expect from a team who is traditionally very strong at home, but many OLBG tipsters have been surprised to find they can back Stoke at odds of 21/20 with Victor Chandler. Given those odds the fact that 69.8% of OLBG tipsters have backed Stoke suggests they are great value and one of those tipsters going for the home win is West Ham fan mercer:
“Stoke are in form and despite getting beat easily by Man City last game i expect them to bounce back and beat a poor Villa side. Stoke have won four of there last five league games and think they will prove too strong at home and their physical play will trouble Villa.
Stoke are doing well and sit 8th and not far off the Europa League places and won their last two home league games. Villa are not doing so well in 12th and won only once in there last six league games but did win their last away game but against struggling Bolton but had not won in seven away league games before that and struggle for goals and will suffer again here.”
Close Game Predicted At The Britannia Stadium
The draw is deemed a slightly more likely result than an away win by both the bookies and the OLBG tipsters, 17.5% have backed the draw on OLBG at 5/2 with SkyBet whilst 12.7% have backed Aston Villa to win this match at 10/3 with Paddy Power. The correct score betting has been the second most popular market in this match and currently the best backed correct score is 2-1 to Stoke, that seems a very plausible result and 23.2% of tipsters have backed that outcome at 8/1 with Ladbrokes and William Hill, 1-1 is next most popular attracting 14.3% of tips at 6/1 with Ladbrokes. Interestingly in the first goalscorer market the most popular tip on OLBG has been defender Robert Huth with 20% of the vote and he can be backed at 20/1 with Ladbrokes.
