Crystal Palace – Aston Villa : Preview & Prediction
Crystal Palace is doing better! After a victory in just nine games, the Eagles have just taken seven points in the last three games with a great success on the ground of Manchester City on October 30. Even if Palace concedes a lot of goals (17), Patrick Vieira has made his team very offensive, as evidenced by this statistic: two goals or more have been scored six times in twelve games. Another thing to remember from Christian Benteke’s team-mates is that they still haven’t lost a game in the Premier League at home (two wins / four draws). Solid for several games, Crystal Palace must follow up to confirm the return to form!
Aston Villa can’t do it anymore! After an interesting start to the season, but nothing more, Martinez’s teammates lost their last five games, which resulted in the dismissal of Dean Smith. Replaced by Steven Gerrard, the change was seen immediately with a 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend, the first since 25 September. After a successful stint with Rangers, we wish the Reds legend the best of luck in the Premier League. His first mission is to regain defensive strength because the Villans have conceded no less than thirteen goals in six games.
Crystal Palace is tenth, three points ahead of fifteenth Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace can count on a trio with twelve goals (Benteke, Gallagher and Zaha).
Crystal Palace remains on a 2-0 home win over Wolverhampton.
Aston Villa is one of the Premier League’s poor defenses with twenty goals conceded.
The arrival of Gerrard can cause a positive shock in the players.
Given the recent dynamics, the advantage is for Crystal Palace. The London club have a series of positive results and must win against a struggling team this season. Watch out for the new dynamic set in motion by Steven Gerrard who would like a second success in a row after his arrival.
