Leeds United v Aston Villa Predictions

Leeds began the season well but their form has nosedived in recent weeks. They arrested a run of four straight defeats when beating Middlesbrough 2-1 but were put firmly in their place by Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers next time out. A win at Barnsley was more or less expected and they’ve won just one of the last four at Elland Road.

Aston Villa are up to fourth on the back of some good form. Steve Bruce has his side well organised and they’ve won four of their last five matches. Ipswich had been ticking along nicely, so the fact that the Villans won so easily is encouraging. Villa have kept four clean sheets in their last six away games, so won’t be giving much away here.

Leeds won this fixture 2-0 last season but it’s fair to say the ship has been steadied at Aston Villa since then. The hosts tend to nick a goal but there is value in the away win here and the tip is Villa to win the match 1-2.
