Football Betting Tips – Aston Villa v Leicester City preview & prediction

The home side will be looking to continue their resurgence under new manager Steven Gerrard with a win over the Foxes. They were beaten by Manchester City at home in their last Premier League outing and the home side will be hoping to bounce back strongly.

Prior to the defeat against City, they managed to pick up wins over Brighton and Crystal Palace. Aston Villa have undoubtedly shown improvement under Gerrard and it will be interesting to see if they can grind out all three points here.

Leicester were held to a 2-2 draw against Southampton in their last league outing and they will be hoping to pull off an impressive away win and close in on the top four.

Aston Villa have lost four of their last six Premier League matches and they have won just twice in their last six meetings against Leicester.

Leicester City are undefeated in four of their last six Premier League matches but they have been quite poor defensively. The Foxes have conceded at least twice in eight of their last ten league matches.

Leicester are definitely the better team here but both teams are capable of picking up all three points this weekend.

Neither side are particularly good defensively and this could be an open contest with a fair few chances for either side. The last six meetings between these two sides have produced a total of 16 goals and another high scoring game could be on the cards here.
