Crystal Palace's next game is at home against Sunderland. Given Sunderland's recent form, Palace will be confident of securing another victory. Aston Villa's next game is away against Everton.

On August 31, 2025, Aston Villa will host Crystal Palace at Villa Park in Birmingham for an English Premier League clash. An AI model predicts an Aston Villa victory, despite their recent inconsistent form (two wins, two losses, and one draw). Aston Villa's key player, attacking midfielder Jacob Ramsey, will be crucial to their chances. However, their recent red card issues will need to be addressed. Crystal Palace, boasting the in-form striker Eberechi Eze, comes into the game after a series of draws in both the Premier League and UEFA Conference League Qualifying. The AI gives Aston Villa a 43.3% chance of winning, while Crystal Palace has a 28.9% chance. A draw is predicted to be the least likely outcome, with a 27.8% probability. Historically, Crystal Palace has dominated recent head-to-head encounters. Can Aston Villa defy the odds and the AI's prediction? The match promises to be a tactical battle.
