Crystal Palace vs Aston Vila Prediction

Palace had three wins and one draw in their four meetings against Villa last season, having one 2-1 wins and a 2-2 draw in Villa Park. All four meetings went over the total, and over is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings. Aston Villa is 5-1-2 in their last 8 home meetings against Crystal Palace.

In this Crystal Palace vs Aston Vila Prediction, Aston Vila is coming as -120 home favorites. Both teams have been winless this season, with Aston Villa looking terrible, as they have failed to score a single goal yet. On the flip side, both teams are playing good defense, and as a result, all four of their games this season had gone under the total. I expect another low-scoring grind against two struggling offenses, so take the under 2.5 goals in this one.
