Leeds United hosts Aston Villa in round 21 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, March 10th at Elland Road (Leeds)
Leeds United is blatantly failing the championship. The Whites scored 23 points in 27 rounds, and now they are in 16th place in the standings, only two points ahead of the relegation zone. Thye scored 29 goals and conceded as many as 61 times, and it's the second-worst goal difference in the league after hopeless Norwich). In 13 previous matches, Leeds United gained only two victories. Two weeks ago, the Peacocks disappointed their fans again: they were hammered by Tottenham at Elland Road (0-4), and the Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa was dismissed. Ex-coach of Rb Leipzig Jesse Marsch was called in to replace him, and last Saturday Leeds looked much better. Although the Whites lost to Leicester away (1-0), they showed quite a promising game. Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper recovered from injuries, which will undoubtedly give confidence to the team.

Aston Villa bosses decided to fire the coaching staff much earlier. The start of the championship under Dean Smith was considered unsatisfactory (only two victories in 11 rounds), and the legend of Liverpool Steven Gerrard replaced him. This appointment gave a new surge to the Lions: they gained seven victories and broke away from the relegation zone by 12 points. In the last two rounds, Aston Villa beat Brighton (0-2) and destroyed Southampton (4-0). Midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who was loaned from Barcelona in January, is already making the difference with three goals and three assists. Ollie Watkins and Jacob Ramsey are also in good shape (12 goals for two). Marvelous Nakamba will miss the upcoming game due to an injury.
Leeds United should have scored points in the last round but did not convert many chances and could not aggrieve Kasper Schmeichel. But the top scorer Patrick Bamford has returned to action, and the support of the home stands will motivate the Peacocks to attack from the opening minutes. On the other hand, Aston Villa made several high-quality deals in January and significantly strengthened the roster, which is already bringing results. We recommend betting on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
