Aston Villa vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-09-13 16:30.
[p]Aston Villa will be feeling confident that they can return to Premier League action with a bang as they welcome an Everton side who’ve made an abysmal start to the new campaign. The Midlands club have enjoyed their meetings with the Toffees since their return to England’s top tier, avoiding defeat in all ten league H2Hs (W7, D3) since their promotion in 2019. [/p]
[p]Unai Emery’s men have made a steady start to the new season (W2, L1), and with a remarkable record of winning each of their last five games after an international break, many will expect Villa to return with a bang. That said, the Villa boss might have one eye on Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) clash against Young Boys when it comes to his team selection for this one, with that game Villa’s first-ever in the UCL. [/p]
[p]Everton looked on course for their first three points of the season two weeks ago when cruising 2-0 at home to Bournemouth, yet a remarkable collapse which saw them concede three goals in the game’s final nine minutes handed Sean Dyche’s side a third loss from their opening three league matches. You’d have to go all the way back to 1958/59 for the last time the Toffees started a league campaign with more successive losses (six). [/p]
[p]In the wake of that loss, a lot was made of Dyche’s rotten managerial record in the month of August, as he’s lost all six of his games in charge of Everton in this month. His teams do usually pick up in September though, with Dyche suffering just one top-tier loss as boss in his last four away games as a manager in this month (W1, D2) which came with Burnley ironically at Everton back in September 2021![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jhon Duran has scored the decisive goal in both of Villa’s league wins this season, but he put the icing on the cake in this fixture last season, coming off the bench to score Villa’s fourth in a 4-0 win. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored after the break against Bournemouth which, like four of his last five away goals (including one at Villa Park in the Carabao Cup last season), arrived after the break [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Villa have won just four of their last 12 league games at Villa Park (D4, L4), having won 15 successively before that. [/p]
