Prediction: 2-1
Crystal Palace
Following four consecutive defeats in all competitions, Aston Villa will be aiming to get back on course in the Premier League when they face Crystal Palace on Matchday 12. The Villans are only one point behind the Champions League berth and they are surely capable of matching the Eagles on home soil. Jakob Ramsey is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-0 loss to Liverpool before the international break, with both Matty Cash and Ross Barkley being rated doubtful as well.
The capital club, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s clash as they have been struggling in Birmingham in recent years. As Crystal Palace have suffered four defeats in the previous five meetings with Aston Villa at Villa Park, we are going to bet on the home side this time out. Daichi Kamada is banned for the visitors, while all Edward Nketiah, Adam Wharton, Eberechi Eze, Jefferson Lerma, and Matheus Franca miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Leon Bailey):
Leon Bailey is a Phoenix All Stars Academy product who was born in Kingston on August 9, 1997. The Jamaica international played for the likes of FC Liefering and Trencin during his youth career, but he made his senior debut with Belgian side Genk in August, 2015 in a 3-1 win over Saint-Truiden.
The pacey winger quickly established himself as one of the best players in the Belgian top flight, but he scored only 8 goals in 56 appearances for Genk from 2015 to 2017. In the winter of 2017 Leon Bailey signed a deal with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of €20 million. Bailey is a left-footed footballer, but he is capable of playing on both sides of the field.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger made one appearance for Jamaica U23 team, but he eventually refused to represent the Reggae Boyz at senior level as he has personal problems with the association. It has to be noted that Leon Bailley scored 12 goals in 34 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen in the 2017/2018 Bundesliga season.
