Mateta has been in killer form lately, solid end of season for the Lad
How Crystal Palace is given so much leverage over Aston Villa baffles me, Crystal can get a draw tops, but overall it's just a friendly match nothing at stake
@Aei The description part of the prediction actually answers how, and apparently they were right.
Villa got kicked out of Conference League by a bang average Olympiacos side and they will be in Champions League next season, it hurts to see how PL has fallen. I'm still happy to see them finishing 4th though, I hope they will get a good use of that money in the summer to give a good performance in CL after long years.
