Leeds United vs Aston Villa: Birmingham will take advantage of Leeds' problems

Leeds United will play host to Aston Villa in a rescheduled 20th round match in the English Championship. Will Leeds get their first win under the new coach?

Leeds United is frankly the weakest team in the latest stretch of the EPL season. The previous weekend, the team travelled to Leicester City and suffered their fifth consecutive defeat in the tournament. In that game, they lost a score of 0:1. Leeds United's poor performances dropped to 16th place in the EPL table with 23 points remaining.

Aston Villa made progress after a series of poor performances, with Steven Gerrard's side winning their last two games by a dry score. First, the Birmingham side successfully travelled to Brighton for a 2:0 win. Then, there was a convincing home performance against Southampton and a 4:0 defeat. Aston Villa currently has 33 points and sits 11th in the EPL table.

Leeds United has a new coach. The club management has dismissed Marcelo Bielsa and appointed Jesse Marsch in his place. A change of manager could help some of Leeds United's players, but don't expect a quick global effect. Aston Villa will have plenty of opportunities to score in the upcoming match, as Leeds' defensive performance in the current campaign leaves much to be desired. We suggest considering goals from Gerrard's side as the main bet. You can also choose to see Aston Villa win in a result-oriented encounter. We expect Aston Villa to finish in the top ten of the EPL at the end of the rescheduled meetings.
