Pick Details

Sport / league:: EPL
Event / fixture:: Crystal Palace vs. Aston Villa
Event date: Sun, 1 Sep 2019 at 12:00 AM
Market:: Total Goals
Tip:: Under 2.5 @ 1.86 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Win

Crystal Palace are at their strongest against sides that have a crack at them, which explains why 60% of their points since the beginning of last season were accrued on the road. When they’re asked to break teams down, however, Palace often run out of ideas. Aston Villa’s defence has been trending in the right direction since promotion. They conceded 7 shots on goal in Gameweek 1, then 4 shots on goal in Gameweek 2. They then conceded just 1 shot on goal in their 2-0 win over Everton last week. Crystal Palace are ranked dead last for shots this season, but they are also ranked 1st for defence, having conceded just two goals this season. Only 6 of Palace’s 18 home games over the last 12 months went over 2.5 goals, and 5 of their last 6 games against Aston Villa went under the total.
