Not only do they have no wins after the first two matches of the season, but Aston Villa didn't even score a goal in them. First, this happened during the home match against Newcastle, which ended in a goalless draw. This was followed by a 0-1 loss away to Brentford. Before the draw with Newcastle, Villa had eight consecutive home wins and had not lost at home in the Premier League for over a year, hoping that the home factor would help them achieve their first success of the new campaign.
Crystal Palace is also without a win, but still without a loss. They drew 0-0 away at Chelsea and 1-1 at home against Nottingham. Excluding the clash with Liverpool beforehand for the Community Shield, Palace has had four consecutive matches with under 2.5 goals. This includes the two matches against Norwegian Fredrikstad in Europe, which Palace eliminated with an aggregate score of just 1-0 over the two matches.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsAston Villa has been experiencing problems in attack since the beginning of the new season. At home, they are difficult to beat, but Crystal Palace is a team that does not give in easily. The visitors also demonstrate low scoring at this stage, and all of this leads me to lean towards under 2.5 goals in the match.
