Our prediction for the match Villa vs Crystal Palace
“The Villans” continue to “skim the cream” off their decision to invite Emery 2 years ago. Last season, Unai and his team managed to reach the Conference League spring play-offs. And, that is the most important, the specialist won the battle for 4th place in the Premier League. As for the club from London, Hodgson was replaced again, but this time, supposedly for health reasons, although a foreign specialist, Glasner, quickly took his place. Nothing was really demanded of him in the spring, but the team still managed to rise into the top 10 of the final table.
Oliver has completely different assessments now. Up until mid-autumn, his team could not win, and defeats became more frequent (even Nottingham Forest even beat “the Eagles”. The success with Tottenham is all the more unexpected – Mateta’s goal was the only one. Speaking about the club from Birmingham, it shows a 100% level in the debut Champions League, where Young Boys, Bayern and Bologna were successively beaten. Watkins and the company are going the distance less confidently in the Premier League. There is also a defeat and the team lost points in the struggle with Bournemouth – 1-1.
Emery’s wards have only beaten modest Wycombe so far. Moreover, the outsider conceded after the break. The club from the capital of England beat Norwich in this format (4-0) and dealt with neighbouring QPR, albeit more calmly (2-1).
