Leicester City vs Aston Villa Betting Tips
The Foxes are hoping to finish the season among the top 4 teams in the Premier League, preferably in the 2nd place. Aston Villa, on the other hand, seem not to care about the position as long as it’s above the relegation zone. At the moment, Leicester City is in the 3rd place, Aston Villa is in the 19th place, just one spot away from the very bottom.
Leicester’s place seems safe, even though there are several teams that have a chance to leapfrog them in the next couple of weeks. Aston Villa is second to bottom, but this team still has a decent chance to get away from the pit. The trouble is that the Villans have been in a poor form lately. The good news for them is that it’s basically the same case when it comes to the Foxes.
What all this means is that both teams will have a lot of motivation to do well in this game. For Aston Villa, doing well means getting at least a draw. For Leicester City, anything but a win in front of their crowd would be a disappointment.
At home, Leicester City is one of the best teams in the league, behind only Liverpool and Manchester City in terms of points won on their turf. In fact, if it weren’t for their poor recent form, the Foxes would’ve been better than the Sky Blues.
Aston Villa is also good at home, while their away form has been dreadful. This team has collected only 8 points after 14 games played on the road. Only Norwich has done worse so far. The worst thing about Aston Villa is that the Birmingham side has been very poor when playing against teams from near the top of the table.
Sure, no one can say that the Villans were embarrassing when facing Premier League heavyweights, however, they did lose almost every time they played a team from the top 6. Still, they did manage to beat Leicester this year, albeit not in the Premier League but in the Carabao Cup.
In the Premier League, their duel in December finished 4:1 in Leicester City’s favor. Something like that is expected to happen this Monday as well.
