Two sides looking for their first points of the Premier League season meet at Villa Park on Saturday as Aston Villa face Everton.
The Birmingham side suffered a hugely disappointing 2-0 loss at Bournemouth on the opening day of the campaign while Everton were beaten a little more predictably 1-0 at home by Chelsea.
Last season Steven Gerrard's men won both matches against the Toffees and they are favourites to claim three points this weekend.
Aston Villa vs Everton latest odds
The hosts are odds-on to secure another success with bet365 offering Villa at 4/5 (1.80).
Everton meanwhile are priced at 15/4 (4.75) and the Merseysiders' away form last term was one of the main reasons they found themselves involved in a relegation battle, as they won just twice on the road.
The draw is available at 5/2 (3.50).
Aston Villa vs Everton first goal scorer
Villa forwards Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins both lead the market to open the scoring at 5/1 (6.00) while their team-mates Betrand Traore and Philippe Coutinho can be backed at 6/1 (7.00) and 7/1 (8.00) respectively.
For the visitors Anthony Gordon and Salomon Rondon are both offered at 11/1 (12.00) with Demarai Gray at 12/1 (13.00).
Aston Villa vs Everton preview
They did not manage to find the back of the net in their opening game of the 2022/23 campaign, but last season Villa were consistent scorers particularly at home.
The Villains netted in 16 of their 19 home matches last term notching a solid total of 29 strikes, the ninth highest total in the division.
Gerrard's men will fancy their chances of continuing that strong record against an Everton team that had the second worst defensive record on the road last season.
Villa scored two or more goals in the majority of their home games, while Everton conceded over 1.5 goals on 13 occasions in the league last season away from home, meaning there could be some interest in backing the hosts to be strong in the final third.
Aston Villa vs Everton tips and predictions
Villa to score over 1.5 goals is priced at 10/11 (1.91) and looks like an interesting option, while backing them to score in both halves at 2/1 (3.00) could prove profitable.
Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
