Football League sponsors Sky Bet have installed Championship side Aston Villa as clear favourites to beat visitors Peterborough United in today`s FA Cup third round clash.
Aston Villa -Vs- Peterborough United
Venue: Villa Park
Date: Saturday, 6th January, 2018
Kick-off: 15:00pm
Aston Villa have quite rightly been installed as favourites to win todays FA Cup clash with Posh. They are in the league higher than Posh, sit in fifth place and have only lost two games at home all season and in their last match they beat Bristol City five-nil, a side who were sitting third in the Championship!
The two sides have only met each other on five occasions, all of which came in the League or FA Cup. Of those five matches, Villa have won three while Posh have never beaten their lofty opposition.
If you add into the fact Posh have picked up one point from their last two matches then you can understand the bookies giving odds of 8/11 for Villa to win today. Posh have odds of 18/5 to win while the draw is priced at 14/5.
