- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 25th February 2025
- Kick-off: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
- Venue: Selhurst Park
Two Premier League sides separated by seven points meet on Tuesday night as Crystal Palace welcome Aston Villa to Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace have not quite been successful this season as compared to the closing stages of last season when they registered six wins in seven matches. The Eagles failed to win all their first eight of the 2024-25 league campaigns, registering four defeats and four draws but things have been much better for Oliver Glasner’s men lately. They lost just two of their last eleven games across all competitions and registered seven wins in that spell.
Aston Villa, like their hosts, have been not been at their best this season. The Villans currently sit outside the top six and boast just one win from their last six league matches. They have lost just one of their last nine Premier League encounters though and will be boosted with the comeback victory over Chelsea at Villa Park on Saturday evening.
Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Betting Tips: Draw & Over 2.5 goals
Palace are winless in their last three games at Selhurst Park with a defeat in each of the last two, but have a good record against Aston Villa at this ground. The Eagles won the last two meetings between the two sides at this ground 8:1 on aggregate, and have lost just one of the last six.
Aston Villa have also struggled away from Villa Park this season, with Emery's men currently having the fifth-worst away record in the English top flight. The Lions boast just one win from their last eight league away games and also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last eight outings.

Aston Villa team news
Villa suffered another injury blow last time out against Chelsea when Tyrone Mings was forced off early with a knee injury.
The Villans already have injuries to Pau Torres, Ross Barkley, Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana and Kortney Hause.
Axel Disasi is expected to return to the heart of the defence after missing the Chelsea clash through ineligibility against his parent club, while Marcus Rashford is in contention for a place upfront after his impact off the bench last time out.
