Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction 19 May 2024

🔊The upcoming match between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa is scheduled for May 19 at Selhurst Park Stadium in London, marking the 38th round of the Premier League. Aston Villa have secured a spot in the Champions League for next season after finishing 4th, while Crystal Palace has the opportunity to either climb to 10th place or slip down to 14th. With the advantage of playing on home turf, Crystal Palace appears to be more driven and determined, making them the favorites for this game.

Injuries and Suspensions
The home team has some key players out with long-term injuries like Sam Johnstone and Doucouré. Others like Nathan Ferguson, Rob Holding, Jefferson Lerma, and Will Hughes might not make it in time for the match. Plus, Naouirou Ahamada won't be playing due to a red card in the last game.

Aston Villa has had its share of player absences too. Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendia have been out since last year, while Jacob Ramsey and Boubacar Kamara haven't played for over two months. Recently, Matty Cash, Nicolo Zaniolo, Alex Moreno, and Morgan Rogers got injured, but there's hope they'll recover in time to face the Eagles.

H2H
In recent head-to-head encounters, Aston Villa has dominated, winning three out of the last five matches, while Crystal Palace has only managed one victory. It's important to note that matches between these teams tend to be high-scoring affairs, with both teams scoring in five out of the last six encounters.

Trends

• Crystal Palace has not lost in 6 consecutive matches.
• Aston Villa has hit fewer than 4.5 shots on target in 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches.

Fouls
Crystal Palace plays aggressively, frequently committing fouls and making tackles. At home, the Eagles average 12.2 fouls per match, resulting in 2 yellow cards on average, which is relatively high.In contrast, Aston Villa is more restrained, even in away matches, averaging 10.7 fouls. Consequently, referees rarely need to issue yellow cards to Emery's players, who average 2.33 warnings per away game, which is typical for most teams.

Considering both teams' tendencies to incur warnings, betting on more than 2.5 yellow cards in total seems a reasonable choice.

Corners

• A total of less than 10.5 corners were played in 5 full-time matches between these teams in a row in the Premier League.

At home, Crystal Palace averages 5.6 corners per match. While Aston Villa averages 6.2 corners in away games, Emery's team currently lacks motivation and isn't in top form. Therefore, we recommend betting on the hosts not losing the corner count.

Team Overview
With the arrival of Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace has transformed. The team has significantly improved their performance, ending the season with a six-match unbeaten streak. Forwards Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Jean-Philippe Mateta are in excellent form, consistently breaking down opponents' defenses.
