Aston Villa - Crystal Palace predictions

It’s easy to point out Aston Villa as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Crystal Palace, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.59.

Aston Villa’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Liverpool as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 2:0 loss for Aston Villa.

Unlike in this match, The Eagles had the support of their home fans in the previous matchup. Unfortunately, they were still the clear underdogs compared to Fulham and predictably lost the game 0:2 after spending most of the runtime playing from behind.

Aston Villa have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Premier League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Aston Villa are fighting hard to stay in the upper half of the Premier League table, so a win here will be extremely valuable. They seem poised to take it, which might be the start of a fruitful season.

Crystal Palace have a fairly clear goal: get out of the relegation zone as quickly as possible. The season has just started to heat up, though, so there’s no cause for panic yet. That said, them coming out on top at Aston Villa seems like a very unlikely outcome – even a draw could be considered a success.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Premier League season. Villans narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

With Jacob Ramsey, Matty Cash, Pau Torres, Boubacar Kamara, Ian Maatsen, Amadou Mvom Onana all out of the picture, Villans’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
