Aston Villa (W)
- Aston Villa (W) have begun the new season in similar fashion to how they ended the previous one - all over the place!
- In fairness to Villa, the 5 points they have accrued so far from 4 Super League Women 2024/2025 games represents a solid start, considering where they were when Natalia Arroyo took over as manager in January 2025.
- Villa’s last two results - a 1-1 away draw with Arsenal Women and a 2-0 win away to West Ham United Women - show that Arroyo has made them much more aggressive in pressing than before and quicker in the transition, making the upcoming match an interesting one for those seeking Aston Villa (W) vs Leicester (W) betting tips.
- Ebony Salmon, with 1 goal in 4 Super League Women appearances this season, leads the line well for Villa and provides a real focal point for the Villans to build around, and they should have enough about them to come out on top against Leicester on Sunday.
Leicester (W)
- Amandine Miquel took charge of Leicester (W) back in July 2024 and since that time, she has looked to get the Foxes playing a Spanish-inspired possession-first style of play, with players rotating positions, selective pressing, and structure in the build-up.
- In their most recent results, Leicester (W) have lost 2-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur Women and drawn 1-1 at home to Everton Women, which is worth considering for our Aston Villa (W) vs Leicester (W) betting tips.
- Miquel’s influence is starting to shine through, but consistency is still an issue for the side and they remain vulnerable defensively away from home.
