Jean-Philippe Mateta to score or assist (6/4 with Sky Bet)
Crystal Palace have struggled for goals this season, with just seven netted in the Premier League. But Jean-Philippe Mateta will be hoping to get them back on track in front of goal, against his favourite opponent. The Frenchman has scored more Premier League goals against Aston Villa (four) than he has any other opponent. Mateta has also provided two assists against Villa in the league, his joint-best record vs a single club in the competition.
Aston Villa to win and BTTS (11/5 with Bet365)
Away teams haven’t had much luck in this fixture when it comes to the Premier League. The visitors have won just three of the 24 Premier League games between Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Aston Villa were the away side for two of those wins, with Palace’s only Premier League victory at Villa Park coming in December 2013. Villa have won seven of their 12 home Premier League games against Crystal Palace, conceding six goals.
But both teams have found the net in six of Crystal Palace’s last seven Premier League away games. And Emiliano Martinez has the fourth-lowest save percentage in the Premier League this season, among goalkeepers with a minimum of two games. Only two goalkeepers have conceded more goals than expected against the Expected Goals on Target model than Martinez’s 2.2.

How both teams go into Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
After their historic Premier League finish last season, expectations for Aston Villa were high going into the new campaign. And it started well with four wins from their opening five matches. But the Villans have struggled since. Unai Emery’s men have won just one of their past six league games, drawing three with two defeats. The defeats have come in their past two matches, with Aston Villa beaten by Tottenham Hotspur and then Liverpool. It leaves Villa ninth in the table, though they are only one point outside the top four.

Hopes were also high for Crystal Palace. The Eagles had ended last season well under Oliver Glasner, and it felt unlikely that they would regress once the Austrian had had a full pre-season with them. But it hasn’t gone well. Palace have struggled without the likes of Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen, who both left the club in the summer. They’ve won just one of their opening 11 games, beating Tottenham. But they have taken just one point from their past two games since.
