Everton vs. Aston Villa 1/22/22 Premier League Soccer Pick, Predictions, Odds

Everton and Aston Villa face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Goodison Park. When these two teams last faced off in September of 2021 it was Aston Villa that won 3-0. 

Aston Villa comes into this game sitting in 13th place in the standings having picked up 23 points so far this season. Aston Villa’s last win came on December 14th, and they have only picked up one point since that point. In the last game against Manchester United, Aston Villa fell behind 2-0, but they picked up two goals late and that led to the draw. Philippe Coutinho scored a goal in the 81st minute to tie up the game. Aston Villa has scored 27 goals total while their defense has given up 32 goals. Ollie Watkins has been the top player for Aston Villa scoring five goals and adding another assist. 

On the other side of this matchup is Everton who sits in 16th place in the standings having picked up 19 points. Everton has made a coaching change and the hope is that will jumpstart this team, because they have really struggled. In the last game against Norwich City, Everton gave up two goals in the first 18 minutes and that led to the defeat. Everton has scored 24 goals total this season while their defense has given up 34 goals. Demarai Gray has been the top player for Everton scoring five goals and two assists. 

These are two teams that have struggled, but both teams have still found a bit of success scoring goals. I expect there will be at least three goals scored, and that will be enough for the over to cash. Back the over.
