Arsenal get possession for 60% of the time and Villa 40% of the time.  Arsenal is 3rd in the Premier League and Villa is 15th.

High confidence football trade

Using Betfair trading software a high confidence swing trade looks likely.  Lay the draw and wait for Arsenal to take the lead.  If Arsenal dot not score first trade out for a small loss or wait until the odds get to evens before exiting.  If Villa score it’s unlikely the trade will be profitable but it might reach evens  after 10 – 20 minutes.  If the underdog scores first the market will expect the favourite to score which make a draw more likely.  As such, the draw odds will not increase straight away if the underdog score first.
