Aston Villa vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
On Sundays, aficionados can bet on four Premier League duels. Among those four duels, the match between Aston Villa and Leicester City at Villa Park. Is there any value to be found in this game?
Aston Villa:
Dean Smith is the head coach of Aston Villa and the 48-year-old Englishman from West Bromwich must maintain himself this season with Villa in the Premier League. After 15 matches, The Villans are above the relegation line in the Premier League and everything has been said. Villa is just above that relegation line and if Sunday is lost from Leicester City and the competitors know how to win, Aston Villa is directly below the line.
Just like all other Premier League clubs, Aston Villa came into action this week. For Smith and his assistant John Terry, also former club legend of the London club, the away match at Chelsea was scheduled and that match was lost 2-1 to Aston Villa. If you look purely at the final result, it looks like Aston Villa was making Chelsea very difficult on Stamford Bridge, but in reality it wasn’t so bad. It was really only thanks to goalkeeper Tom Heaton that Chelsea only scored twice against Aston Villa, which last weekend did well with a 2-2 draw on a visit to Manchester United. With Leicester City-home, the number two in the Premier League, there will be another difficult duel for Villa this weekend.
Leicester City:
Leicester City continues to compete with Manchester City, Chelsea and to a lesser extent with Liverpool for the top places in the Premier League. The Foxes are still in second place in the Premier League and have three points more than Manchester City, while the lead over Chelsea is already six points. The gap with Liverpool is eight points, but Brendan Rodgers probably didn’t have the illusion that he would compete with Leicester City for the championship.
On Wednesday evening, Leicester City, which had won the seven games before, had a hard time with Watford. In the King Power Stadium, The Foxes eventually left the field with a 2-0 win, but it certainly wasn’t easy. Ten minutes after the break, Jamie Vardy set the opening goal on behalf of Leicester City from the penalty spot and James Maddison only ended the game in the final seconds of the game. The most important thing for Rodgers, however, was that his team again managed to grab three points and that is why Leicester City has now won eight consecutive wins.
