Today, November 23, an important match of the 12th round of the English Premier League will take place at Elland Road Stadium in Leeds, where the local club Leeds will compete against Aston Villa. The match is scheduled to begin at 17:15 Kyiv time. Currently, Leeds occupies the 18th place in the standings, having scored only 11 points, while Aston Villa is in 9th place with 18 points.
Team status before the match
For Leeds, this match is critical as the team has found itself in a crisis situation once again after a brief period of stability. Their two consecutive losses with an aggregate score of 1:6 have raised concerns not only among fans but also within the coaching staff.
At home, however, Leeds shows better results, having lost only once in their last five matches. As noted by analysts, the team has certain creativity issues, having scored only six goals at home this season.
Aston Villa: winning streak and away game
Aston Villa, on the other hand, has risen up the standings thanks to a powerful streak - five wins in their last six matches. The highlight of this run was their most recent match, in which Aston Villa thrashed Bournemouth 4:0. However, the players have shown weak results in away matches, while pragmatically executing defensive tasks.
Match prediction
Analysts believe that a tactical and cautious game with a minimal number of chances is expected today. Both teams tend to control the game, which leaves little room for breakthroughs. Bets on a low total may be the most logical, considering the playing style of both teams.
A live broadcast of the match is organized, which will be conducted by Setanta Sports. You will be interested in all the goals that occur during the game, which can also be seen in the Telegram channel "100 minutes of EPL".
