On Sunday 23 December, starting at 13:30, Aston Villa will meet Leeds in the last round of the 23rd round of the world’s second-highest league, Championship.
The host team had a poor season start under Steve Bruce, but with Dean Smith coach, Aston Villa is on the rise. The hosts occupy the 8th place with a total of 33 points, are unbeaten by 7 rounds, recording 4 wins and 3 draws, but the most important aspect is the offensive force. So Aston Villa has scored at least 2 goals in the last 7 rounds and has reached a total of 43 successes this season, having the second best attack in the Championship. Dean Smith’s most important man is Tammy Abraham, a Chelsea lender who has managed to raise 12 times for the group on Villa Park.
The Visiting Group has a dream season under Bielsa. Leeds comes after 5 consecutive wins and is on the first position with a total of 45 points. Of note is that the guest team has the second best defense with only 18 goals received, and in 10 of 22 rounds has not cashed. With regard to the offensive compartment, P. Bamford returned to the team and won the previous round, but the goal scorer of K. Roofe scored 10 times this season.
Interesting is the fact that bookmakers give their favorite to the host team and the Championship leader has a 3.00 share to impose. This is also due to the fact that Aston Villa‘s offensive was an impressive one, and the team’s game is on the rise. We are expecting a balanced match and we are likely to witness the goals.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.67
