On matchday two of the English Premier League in 2022–23, Aston Villa and Everton square off at Villa Park in an effort to notch the first victory of the campaign.
Both clubs will be eager to take advantage of their opponents' weaknesses after losing their opening game of the season.
Steven Gerrard will have a lot on his mind before the encounter on Saturday after the Villans' 2-0 loss to Bournemouth, who had just been promoted.
Gerard's men clearly dominated possession, but they were unable to generate any significant chances. In addition, Aston Villa continued its pattern of giving up goals early in Premier League games.
Conversely, Everton put up a good fight against Chelsea and generated enough opportunities to pull off an unexpected victory at home. However, a Jorginho penalty decided the game, and Lampard's team will enter matchday 2 with no points to their name.
In addition to losing, Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina's injuries rendered the Toffees helpless. They need to fill a couple gaps in their defense right now.
Due to Richarlison's departure and Calvert Lewin's injury, the offensive unit is still having issues and is still lacking a true striker.
Everton vs. Aston Villa Prediction
After both sides had trouble scoring last week, this week's game is likely to be close. Everton is without a suitable number 9 for this match, while Aston Villa struggles to create opportunities.
As a result, our top selection for this English Premier League game is under 2.5 goals.
In addition, despite betting heavily for the home team to win this match at 1.80 odd, I will support the full time draw priced at 3.50 odd.
