Villa's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Monday left the Villans level on points with 17th-placed Wigan, but in the drop zone courtesy of a -27 goal difference.
bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth said: "Villa's chances of avoiding the drop will be a lot clearer after their forthcoming relegation double header against Reading and QPR."
bet365 make the trio of Reading, QPR and Aston Villa their 2/1 favourites to fill the three relegation spots this season.
