Leeds vs Aston Villa Predictions

• Villa have lost all three of their away league trips this term
• The visitors have lost five of their last seven league trips
• Leeds are unbeaten in five at home

Leeds back in action

A combination of factors mean that Leeds play for the first time in almost a month this weekend. The hosts have been left to stew on a tough run during that spell, having opened September with a 5-2 loss at Brentford.

While the hosts are winless in three games, form isn’t really going to apply in this one given their break between fixtures. They face an Aston Villa side who secured a vital 1-0 win over Southampton before the international break, but the Villains could be let down by their poor away record.

Struggles for Villa

Villa may be fresh off a win, but they have lost their first three Premier League trips of the season. They’ve suffered losses at Bournemouth and Palace already, while the visitors have lost five of their last seven away games in the top-flight.

The hosts started with four defeats in five this term and the pressure remains on them in this trip. Villa lost 11 of their 19 away trips last season and they look set to struggle in this one, especially given how Leeds started the season.

Sinisterra to fire Leeds to victory

The hosts have taken seven points from their opening three at home, including wins over Wolves and Chelsea. They’ve scored 10 times across their opening six games, with manager Jesse Marsch putting his stamp on this side after saving them from the drop last term.

Summer signing Luis Sinisterra is off to a great start at Elland Road. He has scored in each of his first three starts for the club in all competitions. The Colombian returns from international duty after scoring three goals in two games, so we’re backing him to notch in this clash.

Leeds look to have too much firepower for this Villa side, while the visitors are unreliable at the back. We’re backing a home win for Marsch’s side, with a 2-1 victory our correct score prediction.
