Aston Villa are 11^th on the table with 18 points from their 10 matches. They broke a run of 2 successive losses with a 1-0 win over Wolves away last time out. Their last 3 home games have ended in defeats against Brighton, Southampton and Leeds. Villa home matches have been amongst the highest scoring in the division, averaging 4.6 goals each with 4 of the 5 games delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.

Burnley are 17^th on the table with 9 points from their 11 matches, but they have been in solid form of late only losing 1 of their last 5 and last time out they beat Arsenal 1-0 on the road. That was their first away win of the season though and in their other 5 away matches they have drawn 2 and lost 3. Burnley away games have averaged 2.7 goals this season with 50% of the matches reaching 3 goals or more.

BETTING

Aston Villa 15/20

Draw 29/10

Burnley 38/10

Suggested Bet: The draw at 29/10

Aston Villa look too short for me here and I think that Burnley can give them a good run especially after the win against Arsenal. The draw looks well priced at just under 3/1.
