Aston Villa v Leicester City Betting Preview, Predictions and Tips

Aston Villa vs. Leicester City predictions and weekend football betting tips for this Premier League fixture live on Sky Sports on Saturday 16^th January.

 

Aston Villa host Leicester on Saturday afternoon, you can find this live on Sky Sports at 17:30. In the reverse fixture this season The Foxes took all three points in an entertaining game which seen them come from 2-0 down to end up finishing 3-2 – but will Leicester beat Aston Villa and keep pace at the top?

 

Aston Villa v Leicester Predictions

 

Aston Villa grabbed the victory on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, this however was their first win in six games which is very poor for a Premier League side. Lescott bagged the only goal of the game in which many would have predicted a Crystal Palace win.

 

Leicester City are potentially challenging for the title, many already saying a top four finish is guaranteed. However, similar to Villa they had their first victory in six games with a 1-0 win over Spurs. This kept them level on points with league leaders Arsenal and may turn out to be another turning point in their season keeping them up there.

 

Who will win between Aston Villa and Leicester? Villa currently sit bottom of the table and relegation is looking very unavoidable, every point is vital for them now but with the performance of the Villa team over the course of the season it may be mission impossible. Leicester have a tough run of games coming up and may see this as a three points they cannot afford to drop, with this in mind I feel Leicester will walk away victorious.

 

My first football prediction for Aston Villa v Leicester this weekend is Leicester to win the match, the best odds for this are 6/5 at Betfred.

Over or under 2.5 goals? Both teams have not been involved in many high scoring games, only one game of six for both teams have had four goals in. Vardy’s goal scoring record has long come to an end and it appears Leicester are struggling for anyone to take the goal scoring responsibility by the scruff of the neck. Jordan Ayew is Villa’s top goal scorer with five this season and similar to The Foxes no one is able to take responsibility for scoring goals. Villas average goals per game over the last six has been a poor 1.8 with Leicester boasting a worse record of only one goal per game. With this in mind I am going to tip under 2.5 goals in the game.

 

My second Aston Villa v Leicester prediction is for under 2.5 goals to be scored – so if there are two goals or less in the match we win. The best odds for under 2.5 are 8/11 at Sky Bet.

Anytime goalscorer tip for Villa v Leicester? With the last football tip of the game I am going for a risky higher odds bet, with two of the lesser exciting teams in the last few weeks to go off the best opportunity to score may come from a set piece. Both teams had a defender score in the midweek games and it may just have set it up for another one on Saturday.
