da prosport bet: Aston Villa booked their spot in the Championship playoff final with a goalless draw at home to Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
da dobrowin: Indeed, Villa’s 1-0 victory at the Riverside Stadium in the first leg of their semi-final proved enough to send Steve Bruce’s side into the final.
The clash at Villa Park was not exactly fantastically entertaining, but Villa were so resolute as they edged their way to Wembley.
Conor Hourihane played 85 minutes of the goalless draw before leaving the field for Glenn Whelan.

The 27-year-old was unable to add to the 11 Championship goals that he managed during the regular season, but the midfielder’s overall performance made a big impression on the club’s supporters, and not for the first time this term.
Indeed, the Villa fans were absolutely delighted with what they saw from the Irishman, and are hoping for a similar display in the final against Fulham later this month.
