- 阿斯顿维拉在11场比赛中保持不败
- 在过去的五场联赛中，Palace只进了两球
- Palace的11场比赛中有9场的进球数为3个或更少
别墅可以展示他们的才华
水晶宫周日在主场对托特纳姆热刺队取得了至关重要的英超联赛胜利，结束了八场无赢的比赛，但他们不太可能在EFL杯的最后16场比赛中在维拉公园跟进。
老鹰队在上一轮比赛中努力击败冠军球队QPR，以2比1获胜，埃贝奇·埃兹在对阵前雇主的比赛中打入关键进球，他们在过去的五场英超联赛中只进了两球。
在阿斯顿维拉，他们面对的是一支在11场比赛中保持不败的球队，在周六主场1比1战平伯恩茅斯后，他们将渴望做出回应，伯恩茅斯在伤停补时阶段扳平比分。
由于欧冠联赛的承诺，对Unai Emery来说，赛程表很棘手，但他们很幸运，有一支几乎完全健康的球队和足够的深度可供支配。
宫殿缺乏进攻威胁
维拉在过去的六场主场比赛中赢了四场，其中包括在欧冠联赛中击败拜仁，并与曼联战成零比零的平局。
最近战胜马刺队的比赛可能会提升皇宫，但他们肯定会关注周六对阵狼队的比赛。
因此，维拉可以在这场可能得分较低的比赛中获胜；本赛季，Palace的11场比赛中有9场的进球数不超过3个；主场2比0获胜最有吸引力。
- Aston Villa are unbeaten in 11 matches
- Palace have scored only twice in their last five league matches
- Nine of Palace’s 11 competitive matches have featured three or fewer goals
Villa can showcase their talents
Crystal Palace claimed a vital Premier League victory at home to Tottenham on Sunday to end an eight-game winless run, but they are unlikely to follow up at Villa Park in the last 16 of the EFL Cup.
The Eagles made hard work of beating Championship side QPR in the previous round, winning 2-1 with Eberechi Eze scoring the crucial goal against his former employers, and they have netted only twice in their last five Premier League outings.
In Aston Villa they face a side that are unbeaten in 11 matches and who will be keen to respond after Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home Bournemouth, who netted an injury-time equaliser.
With Champions League commitments too, the fixture list is proving tricky for Unai Emery, but they are in a fortunate position to have a virtually fully-fit squad and plenty of depth at their disposal.
Palace lacking attacking threat
Villa have won four of their last six home games, which includes beating Bayern in the Champions League and holding Manchester United to a goalless draw.
Palace may be lifted by that recent win over Spurs but they are surely going to have one eye on Saturday’s trip to fellow strugglers Wolves.
So Villa can prevail in what is likely to be a low-scoring game – nine of Palace’s 11 competitive matches this season have featured three goals or fewer – and a 2-0 home victory appeals most.
