Aston Villa vs Everton: Prediction and Betting Tips

Aston Villa chasing a top-half finish

Despite their 3-1 loss at the weekend, Aston Villa are still chasing their best finish in the Premier League since the 2010/11 season when they finished ninth. Picking up just four points from the last five games will not help their cause as coach Dean Smith has to increase his team’s focus on the coming games if they want to climb the Premier League table.

One victory in seven matches at Villa Park will be a concern for Dean Smith. Conceding nine goals in the last four matches at home is not a good defensive record going into this match. Aston Villa have lost six of their eight home games against clubs above them in the Premier League table.

Everton still with a chance of a European spot 

After a 1-0 win at the weekend against West Ham, Everton’s chances of finishing in the top seven was significantly boosted. The Toffees have secured 65% of their total points on the road this season and they travel to Villa Park after back to back away wins in their last two trips.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team picked up eight points from their last five matches, seven of them they picked on the road. Everton have the third-best away record in the Premier League with 11 wins and are chasing a club-equalling record of 12 away wins in a season at Villa Park. Everton have won all their matches on the road when leading at Half-time, thus a good start could be key.
