Form and Tactical Analysis

Leeds

United are currently trying to get out of their awful run. They are now 8th with just 3 points gap between them and 6th place. The team is slowly picking up pace after a very tough run. Last time they played at home they took their first home victory in 4 games losing all the other 3.

Leeds plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation typically. Saiz plays behind the striker pulling the strings in the midfield. Leeds have no major problems in their squad and the manager can use its full potential.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa sits into the play-off zone currently. The team is 5 points behind direct promotion and 6 points over 7th placed Middlesbrough. They have just a single victory in 7 games winning last 3 of them. They won their last 2 away games and with 4 victories in the last 6 away games the team looks more than capable to pose Leeds a threat.

Villa played in a 4-2-3-1 formation last round. The trio behind the striker was looking particularly menacing with Adomah, Onomah and Snodgrass providing plenty of opportunities. Villa has a lot of injury concerns currently especially up front. Kodjia and Agbonlahor are both short on fitness wit their injuries while Scott Hogan has stomach issues.

Leeds vs Aston Villa: Head to head

• The draw is the most common result here recently as 3 of the last 6 games finished that way. Leeds have an advantage of 2 victories to 1 in the other 3 games.


• Still besides the last 2 games from the previous season these sides met back in 2004 in the Premier League before Leeds’ relegation.


• Last season Leeds won 2-0 at home and drew at Villa Park 1-1.

Leeds vs Aston Villa: Prediction

Aston Villa are the more stable of the two sides. The team looks in form and will be hungry for points. Leeds are still trying to get out of the bad run of games and playing against a tough opposition won’t help much. Still the team can score and defeat any opponent in their day. Braver tipsters searching for higher odds may opt for the draw here.

Aston Villa have scored in each of their last 5 games and in 6 of their last 8 visits. Leeds have failed to score once in their last 8 home games making the both teams to score option viable.
