Aston Villa vs Leeds predictions and football betting tips for the Championship game tonight including the best odds for each tip, team news and head to head stats.
Leeds face their second successive away game of the festive period as they travel to face Aston Villa tonight. We’ve got three betting tips for the match. Both of these sides were victorious on Boxing Day with Aston Villa squeezing through against Burton Albion and Leeds continuing their upward momentum with a thumping 4-1 victory over Preston.
Villa’s home record under Steve Bruce has been impressive and they’ve been slowly climbing the table. They made difficult work of their 2-1 victory over Burton on Monday and have slipped into the habit of narrowly winning games narrowly. They’ve been successful in four of their last five at Villa Park by a single goal margin and their two away matches have also been decided by a single strike. Only a 90th minute strike here against Cardiff widened the winning margin.
Jordan Ayew was picked out for praise following his second half performances. The Ghanaian came off the bench and provided an assist for Ross McCormack, who found the net at the second attempt.
Nathan Baker and James Chester have formed a solid partnership at the back whilst Mark Bunn looks much more assured between the sticks.
Leeds beat Villa 2-0 when the sides met at the start of December and the hosts will be looking for revenge.
Garry Monk continues to impress in the Leeds dugout and his side picked up an eye catching 4-1 win over Preston on Boxing Day. They were helped when former striker Jermaine Beckford picked up a straight red, but the Whites were clinical and organised and deserved their three points.
They’ve now won four of the last five games on the road with only a defeat at the AMEX to prevent it being a perfect 5. They were down to 10 men early on in that game, so they were always up against it.
The sides are young and hungry and there’s a feel-good factor around Elland Road. They are likely to bring plenty of travelling fans to Villa Park.
Aston Villa vs Leeds Predictions
Aston Villa have a terrific home record and Leeds possess a pretty impressive away record. It’s hard to see either side slipping up here (unless there’s a dodgy penalty or red card issued) so back a draw as both sides share the points for our first Aston Villa vs Leeds prediction. The best odds for the draw are 5/2 with Paddy Power.
Despite their impressive road form, Leeds have only kept one clean sheet in seven matches away from home whilst they’ve netted in four of their last five. Only Wigan have failed to net in Villa’s last four home games whilst the hosts have found the net in every game so far so both teams to score is our second Aston Villa vs Leeds betting tip for tonight, that is Evens with William Hill.
Kemar Roofe has found his goalscoring touch and has netted twice for Garry Monk’s side since his move. He’s always been prolific and could strike again at a bigger price to complete tonight’s Aston Villa vs Leeds predictions with this anytime goalscorer tip at 10/3 with Coral.
Aston Villa vs Leeds Team News
Steve Bruce is unlikely to make too many changes for this after seeing his side overcome Burton. Jordan Ayew impressed as a sub and could force his way into the XI. Jack Grealish will also fancy his chances of breaking into the starting line-up.
Charlie Taylor missed the Boxing Day clash and is unlikely to make it back in time for this clash. He’s alongside Eunan O’Kane, who is still a couple of weeks away from full fitness.
Kyle Bartley and Luke Ayling are set to continue their run in the team despite a clash of heads against Preston.
Aston Villa vs Leeds head to head
Leeds beat Villa 2-0 when the sides met at Elland Road earlier in the month and it was the same scoreline the last time the teams played at Villa Park. Juan Pablo Angel and Ronny Johnsen with the goals.
Leeds have failed to net in their last two trips to Villa Park, but did win twice in successive seasons here during the 2001 and 2002 campaigns.
Aston Villa vs Leeds Betting Odds
Despite their decent away form, Leeds are huge price and can be backed at around 3/1. The draw is 5/2. Villa can be backed at around Evens with 11/10 the standout price on the hosts.
The Villa pair of Jonathon Kodjia and Rudy Gestede start as favourites in the goalscorer market.
