Aston Villa form and stats

As mentioned below, Aston Villa are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.

Happy days for Aston in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Leicester City (placed 4th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Aston had a home game versus Liverpool which ended with a victory 7-2.

Some amazing scenes last match, when Ross Barkley scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.

This is expected to be a close game, with Aston perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aston Villa as a small favourite), we find ten games. Aston Villa has won four of these, drawn two and lost four.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Aston Villa at home in the league. 8 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Leeds United form and stats

Things could have gone better for Leeds United in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

There were no winners in Leeds United's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 0-0 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (placed 15th). A draw for Leeds United before that, at their own venue hosting Manchester City (1-1).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leeds United playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Leeds United wins, one draw and one defeat.

It's early days yet, but Leeds United has scored 4 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Aston won one, Leeds United won two and three draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
