Crystal Palace comfortably had the upper hand over Aston Villa in head-to-head meetings last term.
The Eagles took four points from two Premier League encounters, won at Villa Park in the EFL Cup and hammered their opponents 3-0 in a Wembley FA Cup semi-final.
Based on that evidence and this season’s early form, 10/11 for the visitors to avoid defeat is our first Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace prediction.

After finishing fourth and sixth for the past two seasons, Villa boss Unai Emery is facing a tricky little test of his leadership following a tepid start to the current campaign.
The Midlands outfit were second best for most of the game when drawing 0-0 with Newcastle first up, even before the dismissal of Ezri Konsa.
They were again slow to get going when visiting Brentford, where Dango Ouattara put the Bees in front after 12 minutes, and the home side had a second strike just before the break ruled out for a foul on Emiliano Martinez.
Villa did improve in the second period and ended up dominating the possession stats with over 76 per cent, but only two of 17 attempts on goal were on target, and they still trailed 1-0 at the final whistle.
“We lost because in the first 20 minutes we weren’t really performing with the intensity we needed,” admitted Emery.
Tardy starts have also proved troublesome for Villa in this fixture, as Palace have scored first in six consecutive meetings! Looking at the Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace odds, it is 5/4 for the Eagles to again break the deadlock.

Palace were dealt a blow when losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal in the run-up to their home clash with Nottingham Forest, but showed more of their trademark resilience in a 1-1 draw.
Oliver Glasner feels last season’s FA Cup winners lack the strength in depth needed to cope with a busy schedule, but commented: “Credit to the players with how they are dealing with the situation.”
Callum Hudson-Odoi cancelled out Ismaila Sarr’s opener, but it was another solid effort from the Eagles, who upset Liverpool to lift the Community Shield and drew their Premier League opener at Chelsea.
Fitting in two legs against Fredrikstad in a Europa Conference League qualifier is clearly stretching Palace’s resources, though, and there were signs of fatigue in the second half versus Forest.
That makes 14/1 for the Eagles to be leading at half-time before drawing at full-time a tempting option for our Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace betting tips. Punters would have collected on the same wager in last season’s league showdown at this venue.
