Villa are heavy favourites to make the final after a tight victory at the Riverside.

Aston Villa v Middlesbrough - Tuesday 19:45, 

Villa are into 1.2 to make it to the final after their 1-0 victory in the first leg and with that result they became one of only 10 away sides to win the first leg of a Championship play-off semi-final since 2005/06. The record of these teams in the return is W5-D1-L4, with three of those victories coming in the last four games. That suggests that Villa are a touch of value at the prices, whilst the fact that they won three of five unbeaten home games against top-six sides strengthens that further, so we’re with the hosts.
