Aston Villa vs. Everton Prediction

Both teams began their 2023-24 campaign with a defeat, though Aston Villa suffered the much worse loss as it was beaten 5-1 at Newcastle.

It will look to bounce back and couldn’t have asked for much better opponents. Villa has won five of its last six matches with Everton, drawing the other, with the Blues having been very poor travellers for a long time too.

Prior to last weekends 1-0 defeat to Fulham, every match Everton had lost under Sean Dyche was by a two-goal margin. With Villa looking to kick start its campaign in style, this should be another.
