Comments and predictions for Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa: Tormenting the defense

Latest Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa team information

Crystal Palace have a record of 8 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses after 26 rounds in the Premier League this season, earning a total of 33 points and ranking 13th in the rankings. They are 16 points above the relegation zone and 10 points behind the 6th-placed team Bournemouth.

The Eagles are currently six points behind 10th-placed Fulham. They finished 10th last season, but a lack of goals this season has prevented Palace from going any higher, although there is still plenty of time to turn things around.

Oliver Glasner's side head into this game following a 2-0 win over Fulham, with a Joachim Andersen own goal giving Palace the lead late in the first half, before Daniel Muñoz sealed the score in the 66th minute.

Palace have won three of their last four games in all competitions, but all of those victories have come away from home. They have lost both of their last two Premier League home games against Brentford and Everton.

The Eagles have only won twice at Selhurst Park this season, but Aston Villa have a poor away record either, picking up just 14 points from 12 away games – not enough to challenge for a top-four finish.

Aston Villa produced a remarkable comeback to beat Chelsea in Saturday's late game, with Marco Asensio scoring twice in the second half to give Unai Emery's side a 2-1 win. They also drew 2-2 with Liverpool earlier in the week, capping a successful week.

The Lions are currently on a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Victory over Chelsea moved them up to seventh on Saturday, but after Newcastle United beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday, Villa dropped to eighth.

Villa are only two points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, though, so they are still in contention for a Champions League spot. They are also competing in two other competitions.

Emery's side will face Cardiff City in the fifth round of the FA Cup next Friday, before travelling to Club Brugge for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 on March 4.

Villa have not beaten Palace in their last three Premier League meetings and were thrashed 5-0 in their last visit to Selhurst Park in May 2024. Therefore, they will be determined to get revenge in this match.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa football review

Crystal Palace have had a mixed 2024-25 Premier League season. After 26 rounds, they have recorded 8 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, accumulating 33 points and are temporarily ranked 13th on the rankings. With a safe distance of 16 points from the relegation group and 10 points from the top 6 (where Bournemouth is currently defending), their position can be considered relatively stable.

The Eagles are currently six points behind 10th-placed Fulham, who finished 10th last season. While they still have plenty of time to turn things around, Palace's lack of attacking flair this season has limited their chances of breaking through.

Oliver Glasner's side head into this game following a convincing 2-0 win over Fulham. A Joachim Andersen own goal had given Palace the lead late in the first half, before Daniel Muñoz sealed the win with a 66th-minute strike.

Crystal Palace have won three of their last four games in all competitions, but it's worth noting that all three of those wins have come away from home. They have also lost their last two Premier League home games (against Brentford and Everton).

Selhurst Park no longer seems to be the solid support it once was, with Palace having only won two home games this season. However, Aston Villa are not a team with an impressive away record, having only won 14 points after 12 away trips - not enough to compete for a place in the top 4.

On the other side of the front line, Aston Villa just had a spectacular comeback to beat Chelsea in the late game on Saturday. Marco Asensio shined with a second-half double, helping Unai Emery's side to a 2-1 win. Before that, they also had a dramatic 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Overall, it can be said that this was a successful week for "The Lions".

Villa Park are on a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Victory over Chelsea moved them up to seventh in the table on Saturday, but Newcastle United's win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday saw them drop to eighth.

Despite that, Villa are only two points behind Manchester City, who are currently fourth in the table. So they are still determined to compete for a place in the Champions League. In addition, Aston Villa are still participating in two other arenas.

Specifically, coach Emery's team will face Cardiff City in the 5th round of the FA Cup next Friday, before traveling to Club Brugge for the first leg of the 1/8 round of the Europa League on March 4.

Aston Villa have failed to win against Crystal Palace in their last three Premier League encounters and were even defeated 0-5 in their last visit to Selhurst Park in May 2024. Therefore, "The Villains" will be determined to repay this debt in the upcoming match.
