Aston Villa vs Leeds Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - January 11, 2023

Aston Villa vs Leeds
English Premier League
Date: 13 January 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Villa Park (Birmingham).

Aston Villa host Leeds in the first match of Gameweek No 20 in the Premier League on Friday evening in Birmingham.

The hosts will be hoping to bounce back from an embarrassing 1-2 defeat in the FA Cup against lower-division Stevenage.

The Lions were on the way to advance to the fourth round of the competition after Sanson’s first-half strike, but they allowed two goals within three minutes right at the death of the affair to eventually get eliminated.

It was the second loss in the last four outings after the World Cup break for Unai Emery and his squad. They also have a 0-2 win over Spurs and a 1-1 draw to Wolves in the previous two Premier League games.

Villa do look better under Emery than they did under Steven Gerrard at the start of the season. They are now looking ahead of a very much winnable affair against Leeds in front of the home fans.

Leeds hold the 14th position in the league ladder at the moment. They are five points behind the 11th-placed Aston Villa but also just two points above Everton in the relegation area.

The Peacocks have generally been struggling on travels this term. They won one, drew two, and lost five of eight away outings so far in the season.

Also, we have to say that Jesse Marsch’s men have been very easy to break down in the recent outings, allowing two goals to West Ham and Cardiff each.

Aston Villa vs Leeds Head-to-head

• Aston Villa won 21, drew 13, and lost 11 of the last 45 home clashes against Leeds.
• We saw no goals in the reverse fixture between these two teams in this term of Premier League.
• Only one of the previous six head to head outings between these rivals saw goals scored at both ends.

Aston Villa vs Leeds Prediction

Leeds have been playing attractive games in the last couple of weeks and we may easily see plenty of clear cut openings, shots, and eventually goals here when they face Aston Villa.

Looking also at tradition and Villa’s performances under Emery, we have to take Aston Villa to win & Both Teams To Score at the odds of 3.75.
