Posted April 9th, 2019 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Championship

Market: Aston Villa win and both teams to score

Odds: 9/4 @ Bet 365

Looking to shore up their spot in the playoff positions, Aston Villa will travel to relegation contenders Rotherham on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, in a season that can best be described as inconsistent, Rotherham find themselves at the heart of a relegation battle. In their 40 Championship matches this year, they have recorded eight wins, 15 draws and 17 defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 68 in return. Now sat one-point away from safety, the Reds also hold the worse defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, despite winning just three of their last 15 Championship matchups, it is worth noting that they have now found the net in nine of their last 10 appearances.

As for the visitors, enjoying quite the resurge at the back end of the season, Aston Villa suddenly sit in pole position to book a top six finish. In their 40 Championship matches this year, they have recorded 16 wins, 15 draws and nine defeats, scoring 73 and conceding 56 in return. With a points tally of 63, the Villans hold a three-point buffer from slipping out of the playoff positions. As for their recent run of results, despite recording just one clean sheet in their last four, Wednesday’s visitors have won their last six matches on the bounce and have also won their last three on the road.
