The read

The desk

Aston Villa, third in the table, host a Viking side that has won just once in its last five away days, and the home attack should have far more room than the Under crowd expects. The firm call here is goals, not the result, since Villa's price is too short to be worth backing outright.

The research

Pro
Markets the desk would leave alone
KILLED
Under 2.5 Goals 3.31

The trap: Viking sit 27th, which reads like a cagey, low-scoring away day, but the model gives Under 2.5 only 25% at 3.31. Villa's overall form is WWDWW and Viking's away form is WLDDL, 1 win in 5, not the shape of a side that holds a game under 2.5.

The research desk on this game:

“Villa's attack and Viking's leaky away form point at goals, with the home win too short to back.”

Every market graded strong, medium or killed, and the desk's own word on the model's call, with the reason written down. In FBB Pro, on this game and every other. Seven days for £1
