Aston Villa take on the visitors Crystal Palace in the round 26 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Despite the fact that the teams are located in the table almost next to each other, we consider Aston Villa to be the favorite. Bookmakers give a cautious coefficient for the victory of the hosts, but even less people believe in their defeat. After three consecutive defeats, the Birmingham team started earning points again. In the previous round, they defeated Everton (2-0) away, the same Everton who previously won two home games in a row, one of which was against Arsenal. As for productivity, goals should be expected in Aston Villa's match. Unai Emery's wards attack a lot, scoring in the Premier League for 11 rounds in a row, but they also conceded in eight of these matches.

Patrick Vieira's wards are four points behind Birmingham’s team in the table. Crystal Palace can fight in this match, but winning is unlikely. After the championship restart, the Palace players have not won a single game in the Premier League. Yes, they played five draws in five matches, and lost three. It is quite possible that in this match the opponents will draw. As for the goals, the visitors’ defense is far from ideal. In the last four rounds, the team only kept their goal untouched once. But at the same time, they themselves failed to score only against Liverpool (0-0). In the other three matches, the bet on TB 1.5 worked - draws 1-1 with Brentford and Brighton, and a 1-2 defeat to Manchester United.
Crystal Palace can be called a very uncompromising and unpleasant opponent for any team in the Premier League. But no more than that. In this match in Birmingham, the hosts are favorites, no matter how you look at it. And even if they lose points, they are unlikely to lose. The unsuccessful series has been interrupted, the team has again felt the taste of victory. And the guests have not won in the championship for eight rounds in a row. And as for the bet on TB 1.5 - everything is simple here. Aston Villa attack a lot, allowing others to do the same, and for four rounds in a row along with their opponents, this total has been passed. In three out of the last four Premier League matches involving Crystal Palace, there were also more than one goal per game. And if you look at the results of the last five face-to-face matches between these teams, in all five the bet for over 1.5 goals was easily passed.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa not to lose and over 1.5 scored goals.
