Aston Villa desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 at 4:00 PM in the Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Aston Villa come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Crystal Palace are in mixed form (0W 0D 1L), making this a relatively even contest on current form.
Despite playing at home, Aston Villa face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Crystal Palace have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Aston Villa a slight edge, but Crystal Palace are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
