Competition: Premiership

Premiership league table
Villa are in 5th place and have 20 points from their first 11 games; they did lose their last league game at Newcastle (0-2), but bounced back quickly, winning at Slavia Prague (1-0) midweek in the Uefa Cup.
At home, they have been strong and are yet to lose a game this season in the league (3-2-0): Villa beat 8 sides out of the bottom 11 at home last season and that good record against the lesser sides in the league has continued, with their only dropped points at home this season coming against top half sides Portsmouth and Liverpool.

Middlesbrough enjoyed a decent October and with the exception of their 0-5 home loss to Chelsea, they took two wins out of 4 in the league (including their first away win in 2008 at Wigan 1-0); they were also unlucky to draw their other game at Blackburn (1-1) after conceding an injury-time equaliser.
Boro’s record against Villa is not good, though and they have only beaten Villa once in their last 7 meetings (with Villa winning 4 in that time).
Yet, those losses have mostly come in the North-East - at Villa Park, Middlesbrough have drawn 2 and won once in their last 3 visits; with Villa favourites at around $1.70, the fixed odds on the home win may be a little too low to take as a result.
Boro have failed to score in the first half of their last 8 games (7 league + 1 League Cup), while Villa have been leading at half-time in 5 out of their last 6 wins; if Villa are to win, they are likely to be leading at half-time – Unibet’s $2.65 for the 1/1 HT/FT looks better value than the fixed odds.
