Aston Villa v Leicester Betting Tips and Predictions

Weekend football betting tips for Aston Villa v Leicester and predictions for Sunday’s FA Cup tie shown live on TV.

The first FA Cup tie of Sunday sees two Premier League strugglers compete for a place in the quarter finals and we have free football betting tips.

 

Villa have been in the news this week following their parting with manager Paul Lambert after another insipid display against Hull on Tuesday. Leicester dominated the news agenda the previous news after manager Nigel Pearson’s grapple with James McArthur.

The only publicity either of these sides will want to court is for progressing to the next round and booking their place in the quarters.

Neither of these sides can buy a win at the moment and it’s hard to know what to make of the home side, still without a manager. There’s also the question mark of how seriously these teams will take the competition, will they risk injuries to their star players or would they prefer to concentrate on the league.

Of course, you don’t get this far in the competition without taking it seriously, but as every game passes and relegation becomes an increasingly realistic threat plus the increased Premier League TV money, you couldn’t blame these sides for using this competition as a secondary priority.

A draw with 12/5 with Betfred seems a realistic bet and is our prediction for the result in Aston Villa v Leicester. Although the last thing either of these sides will want is a replay, it seems the most likely outcome. 

 

With the scarceness of Villa’s goals, it would seem an obvious bet to look at few goals in this game, but with Lambert having left, it could be a case of some of the more stifled performers coming out of their shell and performing to a higher standard. They have some decent players in Benteke, Weimann and new signing Carles Gil all looking capable of scoring goals. Leicester are also handy for conceding goals and Villa’s defence is far from rock solid so Both Teams to Score seems like the bet to take.

For our next football betting tip this weekend go with the 5/6 with Ladbrokes for both teams to score in Aston Villa v Leicester.

 

The aforementioned Spaniard Carles Gil looks a good bet for a goalscorer prediction in Villa v Leicester.  The Spaniard signed from Valencia has looked lively and is capable of adding a little spice to the Villa attack. He scored a terrific goal against Bournemouth in the previous round and he could be in with a chance of netting during the 90 minutes once again.

The last tip for Sunday’s FA Cup clash is Carles Gil to score anytime and that’s 10/3 with Bet365.
