In my opinion Aston Villa have really good chances to make 3 points in today's match up.

Aston Villa currently have good streak against Crystal Palace, they won 2 of last 3 Premier League matches against them. Crystal Palace don't likes to play at Villa Park - they lost 10 of last 17 matches here and they never scored more than one goal in one game. They scored only 11 goals in 17 matches in Birmingham. In previous season Aston Villa won 2:0 at home against Crystal Palace.

Aston Villa key central midfielder Barkley back to the team, only winger Trezeguet (1 assist in 9 matches) is unavailable, but this is no problem at all - his replacement El Ghazi is in top form, he scored 3 goals in last 3 matches. Two Crystal Palace important central defenders Sakho and Cahill are still unavailable.

Aston Villa looks really good in current season, they are full of confidence - they made 7 points in last 3 matches and even not conceded a single goal. They scored at least one goal in 10 of 12 Premier League matches so far, they failed to score against Leeds and Burnley, but in both matches they created a lot of chances. Against Leeds - expected goals scored 1.45, against Burnley - 2.05. Their defense as well works on top level - they kept clean sheet already 7 times, only Manchester City conceded less goals. Aston Villa is very dangerous team and they proved that at home against Liverpool when they trashed current leaders of the table and title defender 7:2! Aston Villa likes to go with momentum - they won all matches in current season when they scored first, they are able to continue this trend today.

Crystal Palace coming for this match with morale on the very low level - in last round they have been trashed at home by Liverpool 0:7! It's very hard to bounce back in couple of days after such a big loss. Their defense is very unstable - they conceded at least one goal in last 13 Premier League matches in a row. They lost 13 of last 22 Premier League matches.

Aston Villa is better team on both sides of the pitch - they are much more solid in defense, but as well they are much more creative upfront - Aston Villa have 2.1 shots on target per game more than Crystal Palace. Hosts are better team with the ball - their average ball possession 51.8%, Crystal Palace only 40.9%. Aston Villa should be able to control middle zone.

I trust for hosts, in overall they are better team - they are in better form and they should go with momentum today.

我认为阿斯顿维拉在今天的比赛中很有机会取得3分。

阿斯顿维拉目前在对阵水晶宫的比赛中表现出色，他们在最近3场联赛对阵维拉的比赛中赢得了2场。水晶宫（Crystal Palace）在维拉公园（Villa Park）的战绩不佳-他们在过去17场比赛中输了10场，而且在这些比赛中进球数都没有超过一球。在17场比赛中仅打进11球。在上个赛季，阿斯顿维拉在主场以2：0击败水晶宫。

阿斯顿维拉关键中场巴克利回到球队，只有边锋特雷泽盖（9场比赛有1次助攻）无法出战，但这完全没有问题-他的替补埃尔·加兹（El Ghazi）处于最佳状态，在最近3场比赛中攻入3球。水晶宫重要的中后卫Sakho和Cahill无法出战。

阿斯顿维拉在本赛季看起来非常出色，他们充满信心-他们在最近3场比赛中得到7分，甚至没有失球。他们在12场比赛中有10场至少进了一个进球。只有在面对利兹和伯恩利时没有进球，但在两场比赛中，他们创造了很多机会。对阵利兹-预期进球为1.45，对阵伯恩利-2.05。他们的防守也在最高水平上-保持了7次零封，只有曼彻斯特城比他们的失球少。阿斯顿维拉是一支非常危险的球队，他们在面对利物浦的比赛中证明了自己的实力，当时他们7:2击败了现在的领头羊！阿斯顿维拉（Aston Villa）喜欢踢顺风球-他们在本赛季率先进球的比赛全都赢了，今天他们可以继续保持这一趋势。

水晶宫以较低的士气来参加这场比赛-上轮他们在主场被利物浦0：7血洗！在遭受如此巨大的损失后，几天内很难反弹。他们的防守非常不稳定-在过去的13场英超联赛中，他们每一场都有失球。在过去22场英超联赛中输了13场。

阿斯顿维拉在攻防两端都是更好的球队-他们的防守更加稳定，前锋更有创造力-阿斯顿维拉平均每场比赛的射门次数比水晶宫多2.1次。平均控球率为51.8％，水晶宫仅为40.9％。阿斯顿维拉应该能够控制球权。

我相信主队，总的来说，他们的状态更好，今天应该保持出色的势头。
