Aston Villa vs. Everton: Preview and betting tips

A pleasant surprise last season against a big disappointment, that’s how you could define Aston Villa’s clash with Everton. What to expect from a match between two teams with different seasonal goals and what to bet on?

Aston Villa didn’t start the season well, falling 1-5 at Newcastle. Nevertheless, it is one of the candidates for the Cup Top 7, as it has been strengthened very well in the summer, and it is led by the experienced Spaniard Unai Emery.

Everton, on the other hand, have been on the decline in recent years. After the loss at home to Fulham in the last round, the fans scolded some players harshly, plus the club has saved itself in the penultimate round for the last two years, last year even in the last round.

Aston Villa’s key figures

The Villans especially after the departure of Danny Ings are dragged by Ollie Watkins, he would like to make his way in the English national team this year. John McGinn operates in the midfield, the tough Scotsman doesn’t give anyone anything for free in addition to good productivity.

Everton’s key players

Although he is sometimes criticised for unnecessary mistakes, the mainstay of the visitors is undoubtedly goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Amadou Onana, the Belgian octopus from the centre of midfield, also made a significant impact on last year’s rescue.

Prediction

Aston Villa are extremely strong at home, having won the past seven league rounds at Villa Park, including 3-0 triumphs over Newcastle and 2-1 wins over Tottenham. The last loss dates back to February 18th, when Arsenal turned the match from 1: 2 to 4: 2.

Moreover, Everton are not doing well at all in the offensive department. Since the departure of Richarlison, it has not done well, scoring more than once in only one of the last nine games, and that was against France’s Stade Nyonnais.

Considering the offensive form of the Villans, the quality strengthening of the squad and the bad atmosphere around Everton and the team’s shooting ineptitude, I expect Aston Villa to notch their first win of the season.
