For the 22nd matchday of the English Premier League, Aston Villa welcomes Leicester to Vila Park.
Aston Villa in the last match for the championship, 2 weeks ago, beat Southampton away from home with 1-0. In a match with phases on both sides, he made a sober and serious appearance, he had luck as an ally and managed to leave with the 3 points thanks to a goal he scored in the 77th minute of the match.
That was it 2th consecutive victory for Aston Villa in the league and the 3rd in the last 4 matches which have lifted them to 10th place in the Premier League and now they are secretly dreaming of claiming a European ticket as they are minus 4 from the top six.
In their last game Leicester were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Brighton. A result that leaves her with a bitterness as she accepted the equalizer for the final result shortly before the end of the match, but based on the overall image of the two teams it is considered fair. The hosts were behind in the score at 27', but managed to equalize at 38'. In the second half, they did a complete turnaround in the 68th minute, but they could not keep it and were fatally limited to a draw.
With this score Leicester stopped a streak of 4 lost games but on the other hand it is a fact that completed 5 matches without a three-pointer and after 20 matches is in 14th place with 18 points, just one above the danger zone.
Last Saturday, Leicester won the Walsall Cup (League Two team) 1-0 and qualified for the next phase of the cup.
Aston Villa are coming off a string of good results showing that the change in their bench has been beneficial. Leicester, for its part, continues to have ups and downs in performance and remains low in the standings. The home team is considered the favorite of the match, but based on the playing style of both teams, it is better to bet on the goals.
