Everton vs. Aston Villa: Preview and betting tips

In the English Premier League, Everton welcome visiting Aston Villa, currently led by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, to Goodison Park. This coach is not popular with Everton fans because of the rivalry with Liverpool.

The home team is in the 16th position, which does not have a big lead over the relegation zone. Now they are also without a head coach.

Out of the last five league matches, they managed to win only once, they also drew once and three times this team suffered defeat. The unfavourable score is 7::10.

Aston Villa are not much better off. In the league they are in the 13th position and have only 4 points more than Everton. With the form of the last few games, it is in the same position. They have also recorded one win, one draw and three defeats. Their record stands at 6::8.

Since Aston Villa returned to the Premier League, these teams have met on the pitch a total of four times. Aston Villa managed to beat Everton twice and twice the duel ended in a draw. The scores from these four matches play in favour of Villa 6:2.

It may be interesting to watch Philippe Coutinho, who was recruited to his team by his former teammate Steven Gerrard. Coutinho has so far only come on as a substitute for Aston Villa, however, in 20 minutes on the pitch he managed to record an assist against Manchester United.

Coutinho could now start for his team in the starting lineup, which should be a significant boost for Aston Villa. Everton haven’t even found a new head coach yet and won’t play too confidently in this game.
