Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Match Prediction
Crystal Palace's miserable winter run continued after they extended their winless run to seven games in all competitions and suffered a fourth Premier League defeat in five. The Eagles were fifth just before Christmas, but head into their first home game of 2026 sitting 15th in the table. Aston Villa proved the heavy Arsenal defeat was nothing more than a blip after they swatted aside Nottingham Forest to make it 12 wins from their last 14 top-flight outings and strengthen their grip on third. This is now surely the perfect chance for Villa to end their horrible recent record against Crystal Palace having lost five (D1) of their last six meetings.
The data suggests the visitors will score from a direct freekick and that Crystal Palace will stray offside often.
