Everton – Aston Villa Free Betting Tips
Everton just broke up with Rafa Benitez. The poor results of the last period have displeased the caramel bosses, who will choose a new coach in the next period. On the list of Everton are names like Wayne Rooney, Niko Kovac or Roberto Martinez. Until the appointment of a new coach, the team will be led in the match with Villa by the interim Duncan Ferguson.
The course of the team this season was a disappointment for the leaders, but especially for the caramel fans. Only 16th place for Everton, after 19 matches. The team is 6 points away from the first relegation position, but the players don’t even want to think about such a scenario.
The team is above average in the competition, with classy players such as Richarlison, Gray, Allan or Calvert-Lewin. That’s right, Everton suffered at the end of 2021 and due to Covid infections, several matches being postponed. Plus the injuries, but that’s not an excuse for this season’s very modest run.
Everton’s last Premier League victory came in early December, 2-1 against Arsenal. Since then, the team has collected one more point, surprisingly, right on the field of Chelsea, in a match in which Everton had many absentees.
In this season’s games at Goodison Park, Everton recorded 4 wins and as many defeats. Plus a draw. In the last 5 home matches, the caramels have suffered three defeats and have conceded no less than 12 goals. So what will be in the Everton – Aston Villa match?
Aston Villa comes after a spectacular draw, 2-2 against Manchester United. The team coached by Steven Gerrard managed to return from 0-2 in the match with United, and the newcomer, Philippe Coutinho made his debut for the new team with a goal. It was the success that brought a point to Villa.
The morale of the team is better after this result, but the current form is bad. Until the draw with Manchester, Aston Villa came after three consecutive failures. Two in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup. But as I’ve said on other occasions, Gerrard’s band game isn’t bad at all.
However, the misfortune took away many points from Villa. The last example, in the English Cup, also against United, when StevieG’s team had a goal disallowed and lost the match. But also other matches, in which Aston Villa dominated the game, but in the end it was chosen with only one point or even none. And this is reflected in the ranking, where Villa is on the 13th, with 23 points accumulated.
In the matches played away from Villa Park, Gerrard’s team does not have a good course. Only three victories and 7 defeats suffered, with 10 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 5 trips, Villa has two successes, in Norwich, 2-0 and Palace, 2-1. In the last trip, in the first match of the new year, the band from Villa Park lost 1-2 on the field of Brentford.
ASTON VILLA OR DRAW – Odds: 1.50
