Lawro Says Villa Win, Mystic Mug Concurs!

Well, after a mixed run of predictions so far this season, Mark Lawrenson was spot on last week predicted 2-0 to Villa v Portsmouth.

This week he is once again backing Villa to win, this time by 2 goals to 1 v Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

The bbc pundit said:

‘Villa, after that opening-day home defeat by Wigan, have started to pick up results without ever looking like they are playing well, which is a very good sign for them. They set up well when they are away from home too, and are always dangerous on the break.’

Interesting stat that our 12 points from the first five games is our best start for a decade, since the 1998/99 season.

Mystic Mug says no stroll in the park but if Villa are on their game we’ll get a 2-0 win.

Hopefully Murph will be along later with his ever excellent (no pressure there then Murph) preview.
