ASTON VILLA EVERTON AND FULHAM EUROPA LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

Three English sides are contesting the opening stages of the Europa League today as Aston Villa, Everton and Fulham all take on continental opposition. William Hill has put together some very solid odds and special bets for today's series of matches and I'm confident that there's lots of money to be made here on these particular English sides. You can back the England Expects enhanced multiplier by backing all three teams to win at 13/4. That's very good odds. The toughest draw is Aston Villa away to Rapid Vienna, so if you want to leave that one out, you can still back an Everton/Fulham double, but you'll be getting paid out at less than evens- both teams are significant favourites. In terms of the outright betting, Aston Villa are 21/20 to beat out Rapid Vienna who are listed at 13/5. The draw in that match pays 23/10. Everton is listed at 1/3 to defeat Sigma Olomouc who carry a lengthy 17/2 price tag. The draw is a very long 19/5. Fulham emerge as 4/9 favourites against Amkar who will pay out at 7/1 should they record an unlikely victory. You're looking at 3/1 for the draw. In terms of the best value bets, I'm liking Draw/Aston Villa in the double result market at 19/5. It may take them a while to get going, but Martin O'Neill's men should be able to handle this type of opposition. Rapid are no slouches, but I'm also looking at Emile Heskey to score first at 5/1. Fabian Delph may be deployed and the Austrians won't have much film about him- he could be a wildcard. Delph is 6/1 to score anytime. I like Tim Cahill to score first in the Everton match and I favour a 3-0 scoreline at 7/1. Louis Saha could also factor into the equation and he's listed at evens to score anytime. Fulham to win both halves is 6/5 and I'm jumping on that one right away. I fancy them to score early as the atmosphere at Craven Cottage will be electric. European football is back and I think Roy Hodgson's men will be looking to put on a show. Andy Johnson should be able to get the business done and he's at 4/1 to score first. I think these are three very winnable games, but Villa may wind up settling for a draw if they don't play to their best.
