With just one win from their last six Premier League outings, Aston Villa will be keen to reignite their campaign now that another international break is behind them. This Saturday sees them play host to Crystal Palace and they will aim to emulate their recent League Cup win over Unai Emery’s men.
⭐ Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Best Bets
Although Aston Villa’s form has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, their goalscoring ability is always an attribute that can quickly revive their fortunes. The Villa Park outfit average 1.55 goals per game before the visit of Crystal Palace and will be favourites to pick up a home win over the Eagles.
However, it must also be noted that their defence has been rather generous this season and with an average of 1.55 goals against also being recorded, they could be susceptible in defence and therefore, the home win coupled with at least two total goals is our best bet offering for Saturday.

💻 Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Form and Tactics
Hosts Aston Villa have failed to win any of their last three Premier League matches and Unai Emery’s men have picked up a single point in the process. With the West Midlands outfit arriving at the weekend having lost back-to-back league outings, they will need to resume their early season form.
Manager Emery opted to use a 4-2-3-1 formation in the recent defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. This shape sees Ollie Watkins spearhead the attack with Morgan Rogers playing just behind him in the number 10 role while additional width comes from the likes of Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey.
Visitors Crystal Palace find themselves in the bottom three before the Premier League resumes at the weekend and they do so having only won of their first 11 matches. Their sole victory came at home to Tottenham in a season where the Eagles have scored just eight goals.
Manager Oliver Glasner used a 3-4-2-1 formation in the recent defeat at home to Fulham and this weekend he will be without the services of Daichi Kamada after the Japanese international was sent off in that defeat. Due to this, another option would be reverting to Palace’s usual 3-4-3 shape.
