Villa v QPR Betting Preview

Andy Hillman is averaging two winners a week at the moment and is back to survey the scene ahead of QPR’s trip to Aston Villa at the weekend.

Two winners again last week, both around the evens mark, as Newcastle beat Stoke in the league to break my NAP curse, and Sprinter Sacre romped home at Cheltenham by an astonishing 19 lengths.

NAP: Man Utd to win to nil vs Reading @ 17/20

Man Utd will be relishing the chance to play at home against Reading this weekend. The title’s already theirs, but they could properly rubber stamp it with a demolition job of managerless Reading, whilst City face a tricky tie at Everton.

QPR related bet: QPR to score at least two vs Villa @ 7/4

I don’t want to bet on the outcome of this game, even though I think it will probably be a draw. Instead, I’m going to back us to score at least twice for the third (!) game running. Remy will have plenty of chances against the Villa backline, he’s 6/1 to score first if you’re interested.

Longshot 1: ‘Do us a favour treble’ @ 8/1

Our immediate rivals all face tricky ties, with Reading at United, Saints hosting Liverpool and Wigan welcoming Newcastle United. All three of our rivals to lose is just under 8/1 with Pinnacle, which could end a perfect weekend on a high...

Longshot 2: London Calling treble @ 5/1

There are three London derbies taking place this weekend as Spurs host Fulham, Chelsea entertain West Ham and Charlton ‘welcome’ Millwall. All three home sides to win is 5/1.
