Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa tips and predictions

Decent price for Crystal Palace on own soil

After some deliberation, nothing is standing out in these match odds. In what is little more than guesswork the inclination is towards the home win.

There is something of a pattern emerging in their recent results. The hosts have got 4 wins under their belt from their last 6 home games. It could also be significant that the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 7 of their last 13 matches, away and at home. Obviously they've been up against different opposition but that doesn't stand out as the record of a team that will be confident about winning this.

The hosts are making the most of a recent purple patch and they are gaining some momentum. Crystal Palace scored at least once in 6 of their recent 7 matches while their defensive line has also received plaudits. The data shows that they've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 home games.

Aston Villa have gone through some tough times recently. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 7 matches. It's going to be fascinating to see how much of their improvements they leave on the training paddock.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them finish the match with even honours. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out in a war of attrition. The No BTTS bet seems fair enough.
