Everton vs Aston Villa: Supercomputer predicts result of Premier League clash
Everton host Aston Villa on Saturday, looking to maintain their positive start to the campaign.
David Moyes‘ Everton side have won their last two Premier League matches, and will hope to compound Unai Emery’s misery on 13 September.
Jack Grealish will try to maintain his brilliant Everton form, and potentially open his account in front of goal against his former club.
However, whether the Blues can maintain their momentum upon their return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium remains to be seen.
Everton predicted to lose vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa will be missing former Everton star Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara, and Matty Cash may join them on the sidelines.
However, the Opta Supercomputer still predicts the Villans to take all three points from the contest.
Villa have been handed a 39.6 per cent chance of victory, with the Blues win being the second most likely outcome with a 34.5 per cent chance.
The draw is the least likely outcome, the model gives just a 25.9 chance of both sides taking a point.
| Result | Percentage |
| Villa win | 39.6% |
| Draw | 25.9% |
| Everton win | 34.5% |
Everton will not be worried about the supercomputer’s prediction
Moyes’ side come into the contest as one of the form teams in the division, with victories over Brighton and Wolves in their last two after an opening day defeat to Leeds United.
Meanwhile, Emery’s side have not won a single match in the league this season, and have conceded four goals in three games.
- Villa drew 0-0 with Newcastle in their first match of the new campaign
- They followed that with a 1-0 loss to Brentford
- Crystal Palace were 3-0 victors against the Villans last time out
Moyes will be confident that his side can extend Villa’s dismal start to the campaign, and put a real statement down about their own ambitions this season.
Villa are planning to qualify for the Champions League after missing out on the final day, but it looks more likely that the Toffees will qualify right now.
