Everton vs Aston Villa prediction 14.01.2024

• Competition: Premier League 
• Date: Sunday, 14th January 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Goodison Park (Liverpool)

Without the penalties imposed by the English Football Association, Everton would be a mid-table team. With a ten-point deduction, they sit at a mere 16 points, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone. In their last five games across all competitions, Sean Dyche’s team has failed to secure a win. During their most recent match, Everton played to a goalless draw on the road against Crystal Palace in the cup. Despite the home side only having an expected goal (xG) of 0.63 compared to Everton’s 1.37, Everton was unable to score and achieve a much-needed win for a confidence boost.

Aston Villa has been the feel-good story of this Premier League season, consistently maintaining a top spot. Currently, they are merely three points away from the league leader, Liverpool. In their last 13 matches across all competitions, Aston Villa has only been defeated once. Their last victory was a 1-0 win against Middlesbrough in an away FA Cup game. This victory wasn’t as effortless as many anticipated, but their average performance still propelled them to the next phase. With another win under their belt, Aston Villa should be brimming with confidence as they prepare for their game against Everton.

Everton vs Aston Villa pick: Aston Villa to win AH (0)

Everton has been having difficulty finding the back of the net recently, managing just three goals in their past five games. Conversely, Aston Villa has shown consistency, with a minimum of one goal per game in their last 13 matches. Given Aston Villa’s stability, they are anticipated to triumph over Everton in the Sunday afternoon match.
