Britain ’s deep freeze is wrecking havoc with this weekends’ instalment of Premier League matches. Already four matches were claimed by the cold weather, postponed until a later (hopefully warmer) date. So far, Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa are apparently still on, so here is a look at their upcoming matchup, on which BetUS is offering some fantastic odds and soccer betting fans can find good edge.

Soccer Betting Line:

Wigan pk +115 +185 2½ O +110 U -130 1 O -115 U -105 Draw +225
Aston Villa pk -135 +140 2½ O +110 U -130 1 O -125 U +105 Draw +225

Match Time: 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time Saturday January 8, 2010

Soccer Betting Verdict: Aston Villa are looking to narrow the gap on a top four spot in their upcoming match against Wigan Athletic. Aston Villa are sixth in the table but level on points with fifth placed Man City, 35 points. Three big points would see Aston Villa climb up the table to overhaul Tottenham in fourth place at 37. Tottenham’s match has been cancelled so they will not be able to prevent any table reorganization this week.

Aston Villa is listed at +140 to win outright, modestly shorter than home side Wigan, who go to press at +185 to win outright. Wigan are struggling this season and currently reside in the bottom half of the table, a point clear of the relegation zone.

Indeed, this is a prime match in which Aston Villa have every opportunity to capitalize and good news for soccer bettors they are well priced at +140 to do so.

That said, Wigan have proven on occasion they can match the best of them – after all they shocked Chelsea FC earlier in the season. Moreover, they don’t have a bad record at home – they are worse on the road. Theoretically, they are not without a chance and soccer bettors looking to back them to victory will find their expense tempting.

Of course, if you are not convinced the draw is a viable alternative at +225. Because the outright win market is not so disparaging that, a stalemate is a likely outcome.

Half time Betting Line:

Wigan pk +110 +265 1 O +105 U -125 Draw Ev
Aston Villa pk -130 +200 1 O +105 U -125 Draw Ev

To Score First:

Wigan -110
Aston Villa -130

If you look at the To Score First odds, you will also see the bookies are not exactly pricing Wigan Athletic out of the match. Aston Villa only just edges them at -130 to their -110 odds. Says to me that this could be a rather tight affair.
