Bet up to £30 risk free on Aston Villa

There are few stats in the Premier League that are more impressive than Blackburn's home record under Sam Allardyce, with Rovers losing only six of their 36 since his arrival in December 2008, however Aston Villa are one of the few teams to have fond memories of recent visits to Ewood Park.

The Villans have triumphed on four of their last five trips to the Lancashire club, who are under new ownership after the Rao family completed their £43 million takeover on Friday, including two of their three since Allardyce's arrival, so their lengthy price of [3.5] looks very tempting.

Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £30 on this match or anything else that catches your eye within seven days of signing up and any losing wagers will be refunded, so there's no absolutely no risk involved.

Obviously, the argument against backing Gerard Houllier's side is that despite sitting a respectable ninth in the table, they aren't enjoying the best of seasons, while their away form also leaves a lot to be desired, as Stoke, West Ham and Wolves are the only team to have picked up fewer points on their travels.

There have been clear signs of improvement of late though and they were unfortunate not to inflict Manchester United's first defeat of the campaign last week, with the point they were eventually forced to settle for extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to five games.

It could also prove the perfect occasion for Gabriel Agbonlahor to score his first domestic goal of the campaign having returned from injury this month. The pacey forward has netted on five different appearances against Blackburn, so keep an eye on his price to add to that tally.
