Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction and Betting Tips (20.08.2022)

Command Analysis

Crystal Palace

England

In recent years, Crystal Palace have become a formidable opponent for any Premier League club. They secured 48 points from 38 games and finished in 12th place last season. The Glaziers had an amazing performance in the FA Cup - they defeated Millwall (2:1), Hartlepool United (2:0), Stoke City, and Everton (4:0) to reach the semifinals.

In the summer, Patrick Vieira's side signed Abdoulaye Doucouré from Lens (22.6 million) and Chris Richards from Bayern (12 mln). But the club's start to the new season wasn't successful; Palace lost to Arsenal (0:2) and drew against Liverpool (1:1) in the first two games.

Butland, Tomkins, McArthur, and Olise have been ruled out of this fixture due to injuries.

Aston Villa

England

Aston Villa had an average 2021-2022 season in the Premier League. The Lions scored a total of 52 goals and finished in 14th place with 45 points from 13 wins and six draws.

Steven Gerrard's side drew suffered a 0:2 defeat to Bournemouth in the opening round of the new Premier League season, but last week, they picked up three points from a 2:1 victory over Everton.

Hause and Mings are out injured and won't be able to participate in the upcoming fixture.
