Aston Villa
The Birmingham side has not won in the Premier League for three consecutive matches. After drawing 1-1 at home against Bournemouth, they suffered away defeats to Tottenham (1-4) and Liverpool (0-2). Notably, before these losses, Aston Villa went unbeaten in seven league matches (4 wins and 3 draws). As a result, Unai Emery's team has slipped to ninth place, but they are just one point behind the third spot.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Aston Villa's last 9 Premier League games.
- Aston Villa has not won the first half in their last six home matches in the Premier League (3 draws and 3 losses).
- The team has conceded in 8 of their last 9 home league games.
Crystal Palace
After the last round, the London side found themselves among the bottom three. Ipswich overtook them by winning their match, while Oliver Glasner's team lost 0-2 at home to Fulham. The club has only one win and has scored just 8 goals. Only Southampton has scored fewer with 7 goals. Crystal Palace is just one point away from the safety of 17th place.
Midfielder Daichi Kamada will miss the match due to suspension.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of Crystal Palace's last 7 Premier League games.
- The team has not won away in five consecutive league matches (2 draws and 3 losses).
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in 12 of Crystal Palace's last 13 away Premier League matches.
Aston Villa vs. Crystal Palace: Match Prediction
The last time Birmingham lost to this opponent in the Premier League was in December 2013. Since then, the teams have played seven times at Villa Park, with Aston Villa winning five and drawing twice. In their previous seven visits to this stadium in the league, the London side managed just two goals.
Considering how difficult it is for Crystal Palace to score, I believe they will not be able to take points in Birmingham. Aston Villa has lost just once in their last 10 home Premier League matches (to Arsenal), securing 4 wins and 5 draws. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace struggles away from home, winning only twice in their last 18 Premier League away games (7 draws and 9 losses).
It's crucial for Birmingham to win this match. The team is close to the Champions League zone but also near the middle of the table. Dropping points against outsiders could see them fall behind the pack fighting for the top four. My prediction: Aston Villa to win
