Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace result predicted by supercomputer
Aston Villa will look to pick up their first three points of the Premier League campaign this weekend when they take on Crystal Palace at Villa Park.
Unai Emery‘s men settled for what turned out to be a decent draw against Newcastle on the opening weekend, considering Ezri Konsa was sent off in the 66th minute.
Villa’s 1-0 loss to Brentford last weekend was more alarming, however, with Emery’s side still yet to score a goal in their opening two games.
The Villans will be looking to kick-start their season as they take on Palace on Sunday, with a supercomputer predicting the result.
Aston Villa tipped to beat Crystal Palace
With Tottenham Hotspur sniffing around Morgan Rogers with deadline day on the horizon, Villa will need to stand firm if they want to keep their playmaker in B6.
Like the rest of Villa‘s forward line, however, Rogers has got off to a quiet start in the Premier League.
- Villa were limited to just 0.2 xG in their game against Newcastle
- Emery’s side were more of a threat going forward against Brentford, recording 1.19 xG
- However, despite this appearing to be a massive improvement on paper, they were still limited to just one big chance
This could be set to change, according to Opta‘s supercomputer, as Villa are predicted to defeat Palace.
- Villa have been given a 49 per cent chance of winning the clash at the weekend
- Palace’s chances of winning are rated at 25 per cent
- A draw has also been given as a 25 per cent chance of occurring
Aston Villa’s record vs Crystal Palace
Villa’s overall Premier League record against Palace is fairly even.
The Villans have won nine games in the Premier League against the South London outfit.
Palace boast ten wins of their own in this fixture, with a draw occurring on seven previous occasions.
With Eberechi Eze recently making the move to Arsenal, Emery will feel his side are facing the current FA Cup holders at an ideal time, with his team in much need of a win.
