Weekend Football and £500 Challenge - 3 May

Using the ratings there are 4 matches to play this weekend.

Villa to beat Sheff Utd at 11/10 (anything over Evens)
Darlington to beat Stockport at 2/1 (anything over 7/4)
Hartlepool to beat Bristol Rovers at 11/10 (anything over Evens)
Leicester to beat Wolves at 11/4


The £500 Challenge will get involved in two of these (and we may play Leicester closer to Sunday).

1) Aston Villa to beat Sheff Utd. This is a typical silly season price. The prices are based on a team with nothing to play for against a team battling against relegation. It is true that Villa have struggled to finish teams off at home but I'm closer to 8/11 with my prices.
£12.50 Villa at 11/10


2) Darlington to beat Stockport. Another team with nothing to play for up against a team with a last throw of the dice. However, the teams are a pretty similar standard and Stockport's long run of winning form came to an end a while ago. There's no way Doncaster should be anything like 2/1 - and there was a welcome 12/5 available early on.
£12.50 Darlington at 2/1
