Leicester City - Aston Villa predictions

While Leicester City winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Aston Villa, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

If you’re just looking for a simple 1X2 football bet, we suggest backing the away team in this match. Villans are clearly more likely to win this matchup, though Leicester are more than able to put up a good fight.

The top online bookmakers didn’t give Leicester much of a shot at winning their previous away match against Fulham – and they were right. Still, they maintained an even score until the second half and only lost by a 1-goal difference (2:1). This wasn’t a terrible performance considering the 4.22 odds on an away win at kick-off.

Villa are coming on the back of a harsh loss to Arsenal. Even though Aston Villa were the hosts in this matchup, they never had much of a shot in terms of the balance for power. They held Arsenal off in the first half, but the favourites steamrolled their way to a decisive 0:2 win before the end.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.78, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
