Why Bet on Everton?

Despite the points deduction due to Fair Play problems, Everton is escaping relegation with 16 points, one more than the team in 18th place, Luton. 

In their last league game, they were beaten 3-0 by Wolverhampton, losing their third game in a row. The other defeats were against Manchester City and Tottenham. Also, they have two draws in the EFL Cup and the FA Cup, so are five games without a win. 

The Toffees have so far been able to score 24 goals, a very low figure compared to the league average, which is around 30 goals. Their 28 goals against show them to be a great defense because just five teams have received less. 

Everton has not proven to be a good home side, losing six of ten matches. However, before the last loss, they had two wins in a row at Goodison Park against Newcastle and Chelsea. 

The offensive problems of this team are so noticeable that their best scorer is a box-to-box midfielder like Abdoulaye Doucouré, who has six goals. He is followed by English striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin with three. 

However, Doucouré is injured, as is winger Ashley Young, who brings experience to the squad.

Why Bet on Aston Villa?

Having Unai Emery as a coach is a guarantee of being a competitive team, but few would have expected Aston Villa to be second in the Premier League, three points behind Liverpool, and ahead of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United. 

Villa’s last match ended with a 3-2 victory over Burnley, thanks to a 90th-minute goal by Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz. The Villains are a splendid team at home, but away, they have lost some important points. So far, they have 14 units from 10 matches, far from City and Liverpool, who have 19. 

Another important aspect of this team is its ability to score, as it has 43 goals, the second-best record in the league, just behind the Citizens (45). Their 27 goals against are also an acceptable number, but they are the worst defense in the Top-4. 

The best player in this side, and a big surprise in the tournament, is striker Ollie Watkins, who has nine celebrations and eight assists, but has four games (including 20 minutes in an FA Cup match) without scoring and just one goal in the last seven games. 

Emery’s injured players include Lucas Digne, Tyrone Mings, and Youri Tielemans.

Final Betting Analysis: Everton vs. Aston Villa

Aston Villa has a very positive streak in this duel, winning the last 5 Premier League games and an unbeaten run of 9 matches with 7 wins. However, the last game between the two was on September 27 last year for the EFL Cup, and Everton won 1-2 as visitors.

The numbers at 1XBET have Aston Villa as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 2.49, while Everton has 2.84, and the draw is at 3.78. 

Everton is usually a complex team for any opponent, despite their position in the Premier League. However, Aston Villa will come with air in their jersey and take all three points. 

Go for a win in Aston Villa’ Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 2.49, you will gain $149 for a total payout of $249.
