Crystal Palace v Aston Villa betting tips: Vieira and Gerrard meet again

The match against Brighton looked to be heading for a stalemate but Ollie Watkins broke the deadlock with a lovely curling effort after 84 minutes before Tyrone Mings lashed home a second goal two minutes from time.

Villa are 12/5 for another win here while both teams to score is priced at 3/4 and over 2.5 goals is 19/20.

Crystal Palace v Aston Villa head-to-head

These two teams served up a thriller in this fixture in May when Palace came from behind to win 3-2.

Villa twice took the lead through John McGinn and Anwar El Ghazi but Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha equalised before Tyrick Mitchell grabbed an 84th-minute winner.

That was the sixth successive meeting between these teams which ended with a home win, with Villa having won 3-0 against Palace at Villa Park on Boxing Day last year.

Four of the last five meetings have produced a home win to nil and that is priced at 11/4 in the Palace v Villa odds.

Crystal Palace v Aston Villa key battles

Benteke will be up against one of his former teams and is a man in form with five goals in six appearances for club and country following his brace at Burnley.

The Belgium striker is one of three Palace players priced up as the 9/2 joint-favourites to open the scoring along with Zaha and Odsonne Edouard.

His battle with Villa centre-back Tyrone Mings will be a physical affair while in midfield, Palace’s Conor Gallagher and Villa’s McGinn will look to dictate play.

The return of Danny Ings last week was a welcome boost for Villa and he is 21/10 to be on target, with strike partner Watkins a slightly bigger price at 12/5 for the last of our Crystal Palace v Aston Villa betting tips.
