Aston Villa v Leeds United
English Premier League
Date: Friday, October 23, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa welcome Leeds United to a possible cautious game for Friday's English Premier League game.
A Ross Barkley goal later in the week helped Villa beat Leicester City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium last week to finish second in the league table.
Aston Villa are the only English Premier League team with a 100% winning record and one of only two teams in Europe's top five football leagues.
Meanwhile, Leeds United were unlucky to lose at home to Wolves in a game that had few chances. Raúl Jiménez fired wide to make the score 0-1 at Elland Road and Bielsa's men have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 in 5 games so far. However, this is a decent start for a team that has just gained promotion to the Premier League.
What has changed in recent weeks for Leeds United is the number of goals. He scored 7 goals in the first 2 games and just 2 more in the next 3. At the same time, the defense has improved and the possession style of play more imposing, averaging around 60% for the season so far.
Aston Villa vs Leeds United Head to Head
Three of the last 5 meetings between Aston Villa and Leeds have been drawn with teams winning 1 each.
The most common score lately between the sides is 1-1, which occurred in all those 3 draws.
10 of their last 12 h2h meetings have had under 2,5 goals, as have 5 of their last 6 at Villa Park.
The last Premier League game took place in the 2003/04 season.
Aston Villa vs Leeds United Prediction
Based on form, Aston Villa are anyone's favorites to win here, but for us it's a risky guess. This is only because Leeds will hold the ball for longer periods and Aston Villa's counterattacking style of play may not always work.
At the same time, we believe that confidence is sky high at Villa Park and they deserve the title of favorites for this EPL encounter.
There's reason to believe this game goes against the general trend we've seen in the English Premier League so far this season.
Liverpool are the only team to have scored against Villa this season, while Leeds after the run of goals in the first two games saw under 2,5 goals in the next three.
Therefore, goals will be Premium and we believe that less than 2,5 goals is the best option for this game.
It is also worth mentioning that Leeds' style of play is focused on possession of the ball, while Villa prefers to sit back and hit on the counterattack.
