Premiership 2009/10: Week 6

Came off the rails last week but this week I think I might get closer this time around.

Arsenal are really getting the rub of the green this last week with Eduardo's ban for cheating being overturned and then getting 2 really jammy goals (1 of which was an offside handball!!) in Belgium and if history is anything to go by they will get a real boost from this change of luck. 

Normally I would fancy the flamouyant Wigan side to threaten a weak Arsenal midfield but I think Arsenal will be galvanised at the back.

Stan James go 2/9 that Wigan won't score a goal - a bit short but I agree - they cannot realistically expect a goal at the Emirates.  Sporting Bet and SkyBet take a completely different view and go a comparatively massive '4/6' that only one team will score - so not only is the price great value, you also get a shock Wigan away win 'to nil' thrown in as a sweetener.

RECOMMENDATION: 1 pt ONLY 1 TEAM TO SCORE IN THE ARSENAL V WIGAN MATCH 4/6

Aston Villa are coming back to form at last and an undeserved win at rivals Birmingham should give them the boost to kick on and push for the 4th Champions League spot.  I think Portsmouth are proper doomed and although Villa at 4/9 looks a real money maker, I think backing them on the handicap is the way to go.  I will have 2 bets on this one.  I think Villa could TONK Portsmouth and for that reason I will have 1pt at 5/4 (-1) and 1pt on Asian Handicap at 31/10 (-2.5).

RECOMMENDATION: 1 pt Villa (-2.5) 31/10 Bet 365

RECOMMENDATION: 1 pt Villa (-1) 5/4 Blue Square
