Our Prediction Tip

Aston Villa will win this match.

In 100 previous fixtures, Aston Villa have a slight edge with 39 wins to Leeds’ 31. When they last met, before Villa’s Premier League promotion, Leeds won 3-2 at Villa Park and the match at Elland Road ended in a 1-1- draw. This is their first top-flight match since 2004.

Aston Villa vs Leeds United Betting Tips

Aston Villa have made a flying start to the Premier League season, which was never more obvious than in their dominant win against Liverpool.

Villa backed that up, just, with a last-gasp win at Leicester last time out and all of a sudden a good start has become an excellent one.

Leeds United have seen theirs go the other way – two wins and then a draw with Manchester City was a good response to their lost to Liverpool but they lost at home to Wolves last weekend.

Both teams looks set for decent seasons on the early showings, and Leeds will surely bounce back to winning ways sooner rather than later.

But Villa are hard to back against at the moment, with Jack Grealish, Ollie Watkins and Ross Barkley all in good form.

Villa seriously lacked an attacking impetus last season, which nearly cost them their Premier League place.

Now they have pace, power and finishing ability in attack, they look a far more imposing unit.

They can prove as much by winning this game and going top of the league on the back of their five wins from five so far.

Leeds United Key Players

Patrick Bamford – Netted in the first three games of the season and will want to get back to goalscoring ways sooner rather than later.
Helder Costa – His two goals against Fulham showed what he can do as he looks to seize his second opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League.
Rodrigo – Scored against Manchester City and his versatility means he could fill a number of attacking roles in this game.

After wins against Fulham and Sheffield United, Leeds have since drawn at home to Manchester City after Rodrigo’s goal and lost 1-0 at home to Wolves last time out. They have seven points from five matches but crashed out of the Carabao Cup on penalties against Hull City.

Leeds United Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line up: 3-5-2

A last-minute winner at Leicester last time out continued Aston Villa's winning start to the 2020-21 Premier League season. They will go top of the table with a win at Leeds and, with a renewed attacking vigour, they are certainly capable of that.
Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last eight consecutive Premier League matches, winning four from four this year.
