Aston Villa will welcome Leeds United, in Aston, Birmingham, on matchday 20 of 38 in the Premier League. The Venue: Villa Park. Kickoff: 21:00.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Leeds United’s total yellow cards: Over 1.5 — 1.60
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Combo: Both teams to score + Over 2.5 goals — 2.05
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: YES — 1.68
Leeds United are likely to get on the referee’s book at least on two occasions, thanks to their playing style. The Whites received four yellow cards last time out against Cardiff City in the FA Cup.
Both teams are brave in the final third and will likely get on the scoreboard. Leeds United’s last game ended 2-2 vs Cardiff while
lost 2-1 at home to Stevenage. There’s a belief this fixture could end similarly.
Given the reason, and stats above, there’s a huge chance both teams are likely to get on the scoreboard before the last whistle.
Villa have struggled in cup games this season, having crashed out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup already. They lost 2-1 at home to Stevenage last weekend in the FA Cup 3rd round.
But they are decent in the Premier League, having won three of their last five matches.
Leeds United are struggling to maintain their consistency this season. They were held by Cardiff City to a frustrating 2-2 draw away from home in the FA Cup last weekend.
The Villas are in better shape than Leeds United and they head into this game as the favourites. They have better chances of winning this game as home advantage could play a bit.
I’ll go for a correct score. I’m backing Villa to win this game by a goal margin.
Although Aston Villa are the favourites to win, it would be safer if you backed Villa to either win or draw.
John McGinn and Diego Carlos Santos Silva are ruled out with injuries.
