Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Match Preview – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 23/11/2024
Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Premier League Prediction Match Details
Matchday 12 of the English Premier League will continue following the end of the international break as Crystal Palace travel to Villa Park to face Champions League team Aston Villa on Saturday noon. Will Villa revenge their exit from the Carabao Cup in this game?
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa fans will be hoping their team wakes from their recent slumber after the international break, as the Villians, despite making a strong start to their new season, are currently on a four-match losing streak and winless in their last five matches in all competitions. The Villians were outclassed in their tip to Anfield by Liverpool in their last game before the international break, as they were beaten 2-0 by the Reds. Unai Emery’s team’s recent poor string of results and performances saw them move away from the top six as they currently sit ninth in the league standings with 18th points from 11 games.
Villa, when playing on their soil in their recent games, have been in a mixed run of form. In their last five recent home outings in all competitions, Unai Emery’s men have only recorded two wins, two draws, and a loss. It is worth noting that it was Palace that ended Villa’s 11-match unbeaten streak in all competitions during the Carabao Cup fourth round, leading to their four consecutive match losing streak.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace has been struggling with form this season, as they had to wait till matchday nine to record their first league win of the season against Tottenham. Palace failed to ignite their league season with the shocking win over Tottenham, as they followed the win with a 2-2 draw against Wolves and then were beaten 2-0 by Fulham before the international break. Palace are sitting in the relegation zone with just 7 points, and they will be so desperate to get a win to escape any relegation threat this season. Oliver Glasner’s team this season has faced significant defensive and offensive problems. Palace has the second worst attack in the league, having scored eight goals so far while conceding 15 goals.
The Eagles have also struggled with their travel games so far this season, as they are yet to pick up a Premier League win from their opening five away games. Oliver Glasner’s men have conceded in each of their away games this season, indicating their vulnerability against an opponent that scores goals. However, Palace will feel confident of posing another threat in this match, having already beaten Villa at Villa Park in the Carabao Cup to advance to the quarterfinal round.
