Premiership Betting Tips – 5-6 May

Opponents Aston Villa picked up a valuable point at the Hawthorns last weekend with QPR, Bolton and Blackburn all suffering defeats. Alex McLeish’s side yet again failed to find the back of the net and the Villain’s have scored only three goals in the last six games. The Midlands club are without a win now for eight games.
With Tottenham chasing Champions League qualification, Harry Redknapp’s side should pick up a valuable three points at Villa Park.
