Aston Villa hosts Leicester City in the second leg of the English EFL Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 28th at Villa Park (Birmingham)
Aston Villa’s things are not going well. The Lions are only two points from the unfortunate relegation zone. After 24 rounds, the team scored only 25 points and conceded 45 goals. Only Norwich conceded more (47). The main forwards are injured - Davis and Wesley are in the infirmary, and the game in the attack is a complete mess. In the last match with Leicester, the Villains were incredibly lucky, but I think the Foxes made gap analysis, and they are likely to advance to the final.

The Foxes are holding a great season. The team of Brandon Rogers is on the third line in the English Premier League, having gained 48 points in 24 rounds. The gap from fourth Chelsea is as much as eight points, while the gap from the Citizens that follow Liverpool is only three points. The Foxes demonstrate attacking and productive football. The leader of Leicester, thirty-three-year-old Jamie Vardi, is in great shape – he managed to hit the opponents' goal 17 times in 22 matches. Besides, he made two assists. As for the center of the field, James Maddison, who, by the way, regularly scores, conducts the game. The Foxes are a priori stronger than their counterpart is, and they deserve to reach the League Cup finals.
The first meeting ended in a 1-1 draw. But in fact, those who watched the match knows how great the advantage of Rogers’ team was. Aston Villa delivered only one shot on target that day, and it turned out to be effective. Leicester also had a total advantage - the percentage of ball possession was 70% to 30%. Besides, the Foxes delivered 21 shots on the Villains’ goal, but only six of them were on target. At the same time, Leicester also scored just one goal. Villa was lucky in that match, but I think this luck will end in the upcoming game. I will bet on the victory of Leicester.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
