Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Crystal Palace

Expect Palace to sit compact at Selhurst Park and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Away

Aston Villa

Villa are well drilled and have enough quality up front to punish mistakes on their trip to Selhurst Park. Everything they do starts with control of midfield.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

If Palace name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Villa score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Palace vs Villa match preview

Crystal Palace host Aston Villa in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Palace. The expected-goals gap (1.73 for Palace, 1.09 for Villa) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 52% for Palace comes from. Villa's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
