Everton vs Aston Villa Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th January 2024

Struggling The Toffees are in for a tough assignment, when going up against The Villans on Sunday at Goodison Park. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take anything from this encounter.

Everton are number 17 in the table on 16 points after 20 matches. Aston Villa rank as number two with 42 points after 20 matches played.

With 4 defeats in the last 6 matches, the situation at The Toffees could probably be a lot better. They need to improve their game or prepare for more disappointment as they face The Villans at home.

The Toffees only average a modest 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 14 goals. They also conceded 14 for an average of 1.4 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring four times.

The Villans scored an average of 1.7 goals a game in the past ten matches. They scored 17 goals, let in 13 for an average of 1.3 a game, and managed two clean sheets.

Aston Villa ran out 4-0 winners the last time these two rivals played each other and are in pursuit of yet another three points on Sunday. Rest assured, the latter have their target aimed at getting one back.
