Crystal Palace - Aston Villa predictions

Though we can call Crystal Palace the favourites in this matchup, Aston Villa are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.74 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Top online bookies and Premier League betting predictions definitely favoured The Eagles as the winners of their previous bout, but few of them expected such a one-sided match. They were already leading by the 45-minute mark and went on to win the showdown 1:3.

Villans didn’t have much hope of winning their previous Premier League engagement – most bookies priced their victory at 1.80. Against all odds, though, they managed to end the bout with a draw thanks to an equaliser in the second half.

The Eagles are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 8 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Aston Villa’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Crystal Palace narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Will Hughes, Matheus França de Oliveira, Rob Holding. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Matty Cash, Álex Moreno, Youri Tielemans, Nicolò Zaniolo, Morgan Rogers. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 2.30 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
