Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Aston Villa boast an impressive recent home record at the top table of the Premier League, securing 13 victories in 17 attempts, one of which was a success against these opponents back this year. Speaking of Crystal Palace, they have struggled massively on the road of late, returning with zero points from 13 of their last 17 trips in the Premier League.

Aston Villa have become renowned for keeping things tight on home soil, with 17 of their previous 20 top-flight fixtures, including nine in a row of late, serving up under 2.5 goals. A thriller would therefore seem unlikely against most opponents, but particularly against a Crystal Palace side that has been involved in 13 such low-scoring encounters across their last 17 trips.

Over the course of their last 15 Premier League matches, Crystal Palace have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 13 top-flight fixtures involving Aston Villa.
