Everton take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 25 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 25th at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
After changing their coach, Everton has been playing better, getting precious points and climbing up the table. The team is now outside the relegation zone, but the fight for survival is still ahead, so they can't relax. Yes, they lost to Liverpool (0-2) in the Merseyside derby, but they won their last two home matches in the league, beating the current Premier League leader Arsenal and direct competitor in the fight for survival Leeds. It's hard to say how the match against Aston Villa will end, but at least one goal from the hosts can be expected.

It is also quite possible to expect at least one goal from the Birmingham team. Aston Villa have not earned any points in three consecutive matches. However, let's see who they lost to - two teams competing for the championship, Arsenal (2-4) and Manchester City (1-3), as well as Leicester, who has been improving lately (2-4). Before their losing streak, Birmingham defeated Southampton, Leeds, Tottenham, and played a productive draw with Wolverhampton. What am I leading to? That it's also within Unai Emery's players' capabilities to score at least one goal against "The Toffees".
The change of coach clearly shook up "The Toffees" and worked in their favor. We expect a goal from the hosts. Yes, the team hasn't played at home for a long time. However, firstly, this bet came through without any problems in three out of the last five Everton home games. And secondly, the current Aston Villa team loves to exchange goals with their opponents. This has happened 8 times in their last 10 Premier League matches. In these 10 games, Birmingham themselves have scored in all of them. What do we have in the end? Everton needs points, which means they need goals. Aston Villa have also not secured themselves from the relegation zone yet, and this team doesn't know how to play defensively even in matches against top teams. In the first round of the current season, "The Toffees" lost in Birmingham, but scored (1-2). I think a bet on a goal exchange can work in this match between these opponents.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
