Leeds vs Aston Villa prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-22 14:00.
[p]Leeds are seeking a change of fortune following the international break but they won’t have it easy against in-form Aston Villa.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Leeds went into the international break just a point above the relegation zone following back-to-back Premier League defeats in which they conceded three times, with manager Daniel Farke’s position reportedly becoming increasingly precarious. The Whites have won just one of their last six league games (D1, L4), and with three of the four sides below them after matchday 11 having already changed manager this season, it’s easy to see why speculation about his future is growing. At least the German has enjoyed better fortunes at Elland Road, where his side have lost just one league fixture this season (W2, D2).[/p]
[p]Aston Villa have moved on from their slow start to the campaign by winning five of their last six league outings (L1) to move up to sixth ahead of the weekend. Fans will have enjoyed the international break after they hammered Bournemouth 4-0 last time out, with that a perfect response to a timid display in defeat to Liverpool in their prior league fixture. The Villans have been adventurous having scored more Premier League goals from outside the box (seven) than any other side pre-round, but any sort of strike would do here, as they have only won one of their last six league away games (D2, L3).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Villa are unbeaten across the last five H2Hs (W3, D2), while Leeds failed to score in each of the last three meetings they hosted (D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Leeds have scored 80% of their Premier League goals this term before half-time.[/p]
[p]Leeds are yet to trail at half-time in home league fixtures this season (HT: W1, D4).[/p]
[p]Villa are yet to lose a league game against a promoted side under Unai Emery (W13, D4).[/p]
[p]Villa haven’t scored inside the opening 30 minutes in league away games this term.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Each of Lukas Nmecha’s last three club goals opened the scoring, including both since signing for Leeds, although four of his last six goals for any club arrived after the 80th minute. Donyell Malen might also strike late as three of his last five goals for Villa were after the 60th minute, including one against Bournemouth.[/p]
[p]Wilfried Gnonto is a doubt for Leeds following hernia surgery. Villa defenders Ezri Konsa and Lamare Bogarde both returned home from international duty earlier than expected with injury concerns, while Tyrone Mings is definitely sidelined.[/p]
