Leicester City hosts Aston Villa in the English EFL Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 8th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
In the new season, Leicester is serious about winning all possible titles. In the national championship, the team climbed to almost a leadership position. Now it takes second place in the standings. Yes, if you compare the game of Leicester in the last season and the current one, you might think that these are two completely different teams. Last season, it did not even manage to break into the Euro cup zone. Now, as we see, the club is flourishing, and it’s no accident. The team has very good indicators both in attack and in defense, not much worse than that of Liverpool. Leicester has become a formidable force for all rivals of the national championship. For everyone, but not for top clubs because it’s not so easy to beat them. The Foxes had to lose to Manchester United, Manchester City and leading Liverpool (twice), and the defeat in the last match against the Reds was crushing. But Leicester copes well with the other, weaker rivals. It managed to record eight consecutive victories in the national championship. The team began its performance in the EFL Cup immediately with 1/32 finals and managed to eliminate all the participants successfully. In the last match, Leicester played against Everton in the quarterfinals and won with a 3–2 score.

Well, Aston Villa has not achieved much success yet. Sometimes it shows quality football, but it happens very rarely. Aston Villa has fallen very low if we compare its game with past years. Now the team is in 17th place, and, frankly, its position is shaky. It often goes down to the relegation zone. The very unstable defense is one of the main problems of Aston Villa. The team has one of the worst fixtures among all rivals. The failures in this line become critical for the club. This factor drags the whole team to the bottom. It’s still not bad that several high-quality forwards remained in the team, and they give the result. But in general, the work of Aston Villa certainly doesn’t please its fans. The Lions have only six victories, three draws, and as many as 12 defeats. The club managed to beat the teams that are at the bottom of the standings. So, there is nothing interesting. But the last match in the EFL Cup destroyed all stereotypes. Aston Villa defeated Liverpool (5-0), which is invincible in the Premier League. However, the Reds fielded the youth squad because the club played at the World Club Championship, and all regular players went to that tournament.
Bookmakers claim that Leicester will win this game and confirm this with a much lower coefficient. Aston Villa managed to cope with young Liverpool, but it is unlikely to be so lucky in the game with the second team of the Premier League. Leicester will field the strongest players who will probably cope with their opponents without any difficulties.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
