Aston Villa take a trip to South London on Wednesday to take on Crystal Palace, who are looking to end a dismal run of league form.
Crystal Palace are heading into this game following a 2-0 defeat away at Newcastle United. The Eagles are now without a win in their last seven matches in all competitions, and Oliver Glasner’s side have conceded first in four of their last five matches. What has been clear for Crystal Palace is that their league form at home was typically strong; however, since the defeat to Manchester United (1-2), the Eagles have gone winless in their last three home games with defeats to Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Aston Villa bounced back from their defeat at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal (4-1) with a comprehensive 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest at the weekend. The Villains under Unai Emery have won nine of their last 10 league matches and four of their last five away from home. Away from home, Aston Villa have been relatively strong with only three losses from 10 on the road, with 17 points collected from a possible 30 available.
For this fixture, we are looking at an Aston Villa win. Palace have been struggling in their form, and Aston Villa showed their tremendous ability to come back from adversity in their game against Nottingham Forest.
Crystal Palace 0-2 Aston Villa
