Aston Villa vs Everton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th August 2023

Round 2 of the new Premier League campaign sees Everton visit Aston Villa this coming Sunday. The visitors hope to get a result at Villa Park to boost their chances of avoiding another relegation battle.

Nobody likes to come through the opening round of a new season with a defeat, but that is precisely what Aston Villa had to settle for in their first match.

Aston Villa came away from their opening match of the season on a sour note and hope to make amends in the upcoming match.

The last time Aston Villa played Everton, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Sunday.

Aston Villa go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 11. That amounts to an average of 1.1 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Everton scored 11 goals, conceded 17 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The Villans celebrated a 0-2 win in their most recent meeting with their Everton. Are we in for something similar at Villa Park this coming Sunday, or does the latter have something else in store?

Aston Villa vs Everton Prediction

Aston Villa Form

Consistency has not been a trademark for Aston Villa recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool. This was followed by a 2-1 win against Brighton, before they lost 5-1 against Newcastle. Aston Villa have been nothing short of fabulous at their home ground in the six most recent Premier League matches here. They quite simply claimed a maximum 18 points, scoring 13 while conceding two goals. Naturally, this is the best points total in the Premier League across the last six games.

Everton naturally hope for a a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Premier League.

Everton Form

Everton were able to add four points to their account from their last three matches. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton, before claiming three points in a 1-0 win against Bournemouth. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham. Everton claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew four and were defeated one times, as they were outscored by eight goals to ten.

While safety is the foremost priority for Everton, a top half finish is the ultimate dream for this term.

Aston Villa should be too strong at Villa Park to drop any points against Everton, and combining the home win with over 2.5 goals looks the value bet.
