Under 2. 5 goals.

This looks a very tight game so il go for under.

Villa are very much in the running for a top 6 place once again this season and with Liverpool and City not on the best form, possibly even a place in the top 4.

We know how Martin Oneill likes to play things- pretty tight- a strong defence has always been the key to his success and with only Chelsea losing less goals so far he will be delighted with his back 4.

Dunne is proving many wrong and ofcourse Collins was always going to a good signing. Cuellar playing right back seems a bit strange to me but few can argue given how well organised Villa are.

Just 7 goals in 5 home games though for the Villa, as poor as Portsmouth who are bottom. I dont know why it is but i never fancy Villa to score many goals at home. Maybe it is pressure from the crowd but even last season which went very well, seen them struggle to get goals in front of their own fans.

Bolton are going quite well at the moment. Its so tight at the bottom of that premiership that a couple of results takes you well clear while a couple of bad results and the manager is right under pressure.

We seen a fine win over Everton and i thought they played really well at old trafford and deserved to take something the week before. Ok they got smashed by Chelsea at home but then who can compete with them at the moment.

It is 6 goals lost in the last couple of weeks though for Megson and ive a feeling that will be on his mind tomorrow. Im expecting a far more defensive line up at Villa park-possibly just the one man up front Elmander and 2 wide in a midfield 5. A draw and a point would be a good result as they try to climb clear of the relegation places and with ex Villa defenders Knight and Cahil at centre back ive a feeling they will get it.

With Bolton desperate for points and Villa not scoring at home i expect a tight game with under being the call.

Villa v Bolton under 2. 5 goals with pinnacle at 1. 90
