Everton vs Aston Villa: Predictions and Betting Tips

Everton

Everton is currently eighth, with a game in hand on the teams above them, so if they win their game this matchday and the one still to come, they would be in the Champions League places.

Everton’s points record is very atypical this season, they have only taken 19 points from 16 home games while they have taken 33 points from 16 away games.

Players such as Richarlison, James, Calvert-Lewin and Sigurdsson are expected to step up in the final stretch of the league to qualify for the Champions League.

Aston Villa

It is fair to say that Aston Villa has fulfilled their goal this season of staying in the Premier League for another season, although given that they were in the top half of the table for many stretches of the league, we are led to believe that more was expected of them.

Aston Villa has taken 24 points from 16 away games, having conceded just 14 goals in those games, a good record.

Ollie Watkins has had a good season, scoring 12 goals in 32 games, and above all Grealish, who is the “director” of this team.

Key Stats

• Four consecutive matches without losing for Everton, four draws and one win
• Only one win for Everton from their last five home games
• Everton has conceded at least one goal in four of their last five home games
• Only one win for Villa from their last five games
• Only one win for Villa from their last five games as away team

Everton vs Aston Villa Predictions

We think that Everton’s need to win to get closer to the European places will make them more favorites than Villa, plus they play at home, although as we said, they are not very good at home this season. Also, as a team, Everton has a better quality of players.

Given the style of play of both teams, we think it will be a game of counter-attacks, so if there is space, it could be a game of many chances, and therefore many goals as well.
