Everton vs. Aston Villa Betting Analysis

Aston Villa continues to impress, returning 25 points from the last 10 games, more than any other team in the same period. Under Unai Emery's leadership, the team has climbed to third place, solidifying their status as a genuine title contender.

Everton has secured just one win in their last five matches, overcoming a struggling Nottingham Forest away. Although the Toffees have found more success on the road recently, they've stumbled against top-ranked teams like Chelsea.

Consequently, we expect the Villains to achieve a similar result against them.

The Villains have achieved 11 consecutive home victories across all competitions, with the aforementioned bet winning in each of these matches. Additionally, the wager has also been successful in three of the last five head-to-head encounters at Villa Park.

Although the most recent matchup between these teams at Villa Park exceeded 4.5 goals, this season has been more subdued for both sides. Villa and Everton currently fall below the league average of 2.8 goals per game. implying we should see a slower game.
