Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Betting Tips, Preview and Predictions

Aston Villa v Crystal Palace betting preview and predictions for this week’s Premier League fixture and the best three football tips for betting on the match.

 

As the FA Cup took centre stage at the weekend, it’s now time for the Premier League to be back in full swing as the hectic winter schedule continues this mid-week and we’ve got previews of all the games.

 

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Predictions

 

Aston Villa’s problems continued last Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at League Two Wycombe Wanderers in the Cup. They now host away specialists Crystal Palace in a game knowing that a loss will deepen their chances of survival. What are the odds for Aston Villa to beat Crystal Palace? In a “must win game” for Aston Villa, the home side can be backed at 11/5 to win with Betfred.

 

Despite Aston Villa boss Remi Garde not winning any of his 10 games since he took over from Tim Sherwood in November, the Frenchman has insisted he’s not feeling the pressure. Garde said: “I'm not especially under pressure, but I'm not winning games. The day I feel that I am not able to do something positive for this huge football club, you will know it.”

 

The Villans haven’t won a game since the opening day at Bournemouth (1-0) way back in August which has left them 11 points adrift from safety. Villa come into this game having accumulated three points out of the last 18 on offer. In that run, morale sapping defeats against Sunderland and Norwich has left many pundits tipping Aston Villa for relegation.

 

As the lowest scorers in the league with only 16 league goals, five of their last six league games has witnessed under 2.5 goals and I’m backing that trend to continue this Tuesday. Aston Villa head to head v Crystal Palace can further help reassure anyone as the last seven meetings has witnessed just 10 goals.

 

My first Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace prediction is under 2.5 goals in the match, the best odds are 13/20 with Bet Victor.

Crystal Palace picked up another impressive win away from home on Saturday at Southampton in the Cup and now have the chance to pile further misery on Aston Villa. The Eagles are one of a few teams in the Premier League that favour playing away from home, suiting their direct wide playing style. Their chances of a result at Villa Park are furthered by the return of Connor Wickham and Dwight Gayle who can offer some much needed firepower.

 

Alan Pardew’s men have been prolific on their travels having picked up 17 out of a possible 27 points on offer. Whilst in comparison to their home form where they’ve won 15 points despite playing two more games and losing five (three more than away from home).

 

Crystal Palace have only lost one of their last seven matches against their opponents (W4 D2 L1) and I think they will win the battle of the Claret and Blues.

 

My second Aston Villa v Crystal Palace betting tip will be an away win best priced odds at 6/4 with Betfred.

Knowing that Aston Villa have scored a season low six goals at home (0.67 goals/match) and Crystal Palace only conceding seven away from home (0.78 conceded/match), my final betting prediction will be a half time result draw offered at 21/20 with Bet365.
