The most played fixture in English football history returns on Sunday, as Everton face Aston Villa for the 211th time. Both sides began the season with defeats, so will be desperate to get some points on the board at the second time of asking.
If you are a sports betting fan, you are in exactly the right place. Our experts have meticulously studied the football betting apps and have put together their exclusive prediction for the match. So read on to discover how you can grab a betting bonus for the game.
After a superb second half of the 22/23 season, expectations were high for Aston Villa. Unfortunately, those expectations ran into a rampant Newcastle United. The 5-1 defeat at St James’ Park was full of defensive errors and errant play, something that is sure to be a huge concern to manager Unai Emery.
Another big concern will be the injuries to key players Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendia, both of whom are set to miss a large chunk of the campaign. With a European campaign about to start, Emery cannot afford any more injuries to his squad.
Everton endured an awful 2022-23 season and only avoided relegation on the final day of the campaign. Hopes for a better season this time around were dealt a blow on matchday one as they fell to a 0-1 defeat at home to Fulham.
Summer transfer business has been limited at Goodison, and fans are getting frustrated with the lack of ambition from the club. Manager Sean Dyche is experienced at battling relegation, and he is likely to need all his experience to stop the Toffees from dropping into the Championship next May.
Everton have failed to win any of their last eight games against Aston Villa. Their last victory at Villa Park occurred in 2016 and the Villa have won four of their last five home games with the Toffees. Overall Villa lead the head-to-head 86 to 82.
If you are looking for some winning football betting odds for the game, our statistical highlights are a must read. They look at some of the key pieces of information that will help you assess the betting markets and find those all important winning bets.
The bookies have Villa as firm favourites for a home win. They are currently priced at around 4/6. If you fancy three points for the Toffees, you can get them at 23/5, whilst the draw is available at 3/1
Make no mistake, Villa are a better team than Everton. But last weekend’s thrashing at Newcastle is bound to have left a few scars, so expect a nervy display by the home side.
In contrast, Everton can consider themselves slightly unlikely in the defeat to Fulham. With a bit more composure in front of goal, they could have claimed at least a point from the game. We think that the draw at 3/1 represents an excellent value bet.
