Aston Villa hosts traditional mid-table rival, Everton, at Villa Park on Sunday in the highlight of this weekend’s Premiership action. In the past encounters between these sides have been evenly matched, but Villa will want to make up for a heavy loss to Newcastle by taking down an out-of-sorts Everton at Villa Park.
Aston Villa has won three of the last ten matches between these clubs, while Everton has taken two wins. The balanced nature of this fixture is indicated by the fact that five of these matches produced draws.
The last clash between Everton and Aston Villa ended with a 2-2 draw at Villa Park – the third consecutive draw between the clubs.
Aston Villa hasn’t been in great shape in the new Premier League season. The club has two losses, two draws and a win to show for its last five matches. Villa won its opening Premier League match of the season in fine style, but capitulated with a 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Newcastle on Sunday.
Villa’s strikers have scored five goals in the last five matches. Defence has been very poor, letting in eleven goals in the same period.
Everton, meanwhile, has scored three wins, a draw and a loss from its last five matches. These stats hide the fact that Everton hasn’t performed very well in the Premiership to date, and is yet to win a match in the new season.
A big win over Huddersfield in the League Cup pushed Everton’s goal tally in the last five matches up to thirteen, however, only one of these has been scored in the Premier League. Everton’s defence has been putting in some solid performances, with five goals conceded in the last five matches, and just one in the Premier League to date.
Aston Villa is the favourite for this match with Canbet offering the best price of 6/4. Everton is trading at 2/1 at Ladbrokes while the draw is going for 23/10 at Paddy Power.
Despite its loss to Newcastle, Villa should have the ability to hold off Everton at Villa Park, and the draw and the Villa win are the two most likely outcomes of the match. Everton hasn’t won at Villa Park since 2005, and there’s little indication the club will be up to the task in 2010.
Taking these factors into account, our Aston Villa vs Everton betting tip is to lay Everton at Betfair – a bet that pays out on the Villa win and the draw.
