Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2025

Aston Villa hope to live up to their early billing as the Premier League title favourites this coming Sunday when they welcome Crystal Palace over to the Villa Park for a round 3 match.

They are not exactly up to a dream opening on the new season as Aston Villa have had to settle for a single point so far in the Premier League.

They are not exactly up to a dream opening on the new season as Aston Villa have had to settle for a single point so far in the Premier League.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Villa Park as the teams look to get one over each other.

The Villans are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 14 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.4 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents seven goals, or an average of 0.7 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to five clean sheets in this run.

The Eagles scored 13 goals, conceded 17 and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 4-1 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest this coming Sunday?

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Aston Villa Form

In their last three matches, Aston Villa lost 2-0 against Manchester United, drew 0-0 with Newcastle, before losing to Brentford by 1-0. Aston Villa won five of their last six Premier League matches at the Villa Park, scoring 11 and conceding three along they way. They also drew once as they remained without defeat.

Crystal Palace Form

In their previous three outings, Crystal Palace won by 1-0 against Fredrikstad, drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest, before also drawing 0-0 against Fredrikstad. Crystal Palace managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew three as well as losing two, while scoring 13 time and letting in seven.

Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are both very focused on not losing currently, and they'd rather nick a point than risk losing all three. The draw is the tasty value bet at Villa Park this coming Sunday.
