Leicester take on the visitors Aston Villa in the postponed round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 4 at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
The recent results of "The Foxes" have now brought the team into the relegation zone in 18th place. What do you expect when Leicester has only gained 1 point in their last 5 championship matches? The hosts constantly score, but their defensive problems, which have been dragging the team down for years, are still affecting them now. For example, in the match against Crystal Palace away, "The Foxes" were leading 1-0, but eventually lost 1-2 to Hodgson's team. Prior to that, they lost 1-3 at home to Arsenal. Of course, this won't save them, but the team needs points against Aston Villa, especially since this is a home game. Recent defeat to Crystal Palace forced the team to sack Rodgers. It should give additional motivation to the hosting side in this match.

If the hosts' results have been a real nightmare for their fans lately, Aston Villa has transformed in the last 5 rounds and gained 13 points (4 wins and a draw). Moreover, after the break for international matches, they managed to beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. The "Blues" missed numerous opportunities, while Villa was more accurate. The game was reminiscent of a match in the Russian Premier League between Dynamo and Sochi, where the blue-and-white team had a numerical advantage but ended up losing. However, thanks to their recent performances, Unai Emery's team has moved away from the relegation zone and is currently in 9th place in the championship. The replacement of Gerard with an experienced Spaniard a few months ago has borne fruit.
Anyway, as soon as Emery took over in Birmingham, his team suffered a heavy defeat at home against Leicester, losing 2-4 in the first round a couple of months ago. There should be no problem with goals in the confrontation, as both teams are focused on attack, while there aren't many defenses, especially among the hosts. Given their current situation, they will be pressing the opponent, and Aston Villa will be counterattacking sharply. This style of football has every chance of being a high-scoring game from both sides, as in the first round. In fact, the bet on both teams to score passed in 3 out of the last 4 matches between the two teams, and now it has very strong chances of winning again.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
