Leeds
- Leeds have lost four of their last five games, including the last two.
- Leeds can be an entertaining and dynamic team under Daniel Farke, who has implemented a proactive style of play with his 4-2-3-1 that is really a 4-3-3 with Leeds pressing high and trying to dominate the midfield via possession and bursts forward.
- However, their defensive record is atrocious and it’s the reason why they have lost four of their last five matches and are currently on a two-game losing streak, which is important for our Leeds United vs Aston Villa betting tips.
Aston Villa
- Aston Villa have won three of their last five, including consecutive victories over Maccabi Tel-Aviv (2-0) and Bournemouth (4-0).
- Unai Emery is more disciplined than Farke and has certainly been more successful in getting Villa into European contention.
- Villa are a 4-2-3-1 team that look to build from the back and control the game via midfield, but they can hurt opponents quickly on the break with their attacking width.
Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture from the 2022/2023 season was won 2-1 by Aston Villa at Villa Park, with Villa sitting 6th in the Premier League on 18 points from 11 games, Leeds 16th on 11 points from the same number, so the Leeds United vs Aston Villa prediction is that it is the Villans who are favored here.
Key Players
Joe Rodon leads the scoring for Leeds in the Premier League with just two goals in 11 appearances, but he provides an aerial presence and is good on set pieces, while Donyell Malen’s three goals in 11 games gives Villa pace and a reliable finisher when they get on the counter.
Betting Insights
- The home side will press Villa and try to make it a high-energy game, but Villa’s superiority in the league should be reflected in the result, although they are short favourites at 2.49, with Leeds at 3.15 and the draw at 3.38. Based on this, our Leeds United vs Aston Villa betting tips suggest considering Villa for the win.
- Villa have struggled away from home recently and it could be a tense game at Elland Road, so the Both Teams To Score market at 1.9 looks a good choice given both sides have been conceding lately.
