Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction

Crystal Palace have been in terrific form off late with the likes of Eze, Olise, and Mateta shining in the front line. They are unbeaten in their last six games and beat Wolves 3-1 away despite being a man down in their last game.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, have just one win in their last seven games across competitions, with three defeats and three draws. They came from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 against Liverpool at home in their last game.

It would’ve given them confidence but with the pressure to reach the Top 4 gone now, Villa might find it tough to contain Crystal Palace at home.
