Aston Villa will secure an away win! Leicester City vs Aston Villa Prediction
One of the matches in the third round of the English Premier League will take place this Saturday at King Power Stadium, where Leicester City will host Aston Villa. Here’s a prediction for this match from the Dailysports expert team.
Leicester City
Leicester City, after failing to maintain their Premier League status two seasons ago, quickly bounced back by earning promotion from the Championship in just one year. However, it’s important to note that this is not the same Leicester City we remember from a few years ago. Many of the team’s leaders have left, and the club's most recognizable star is now the 37-year-old Jamie Vardy.
Vardy has already made his mark in the new Premier League campaign. In the first round, he equalized the score in a home match against Tottenham Hotspur, which ended 1-1. However, in the second round, Leicester faced Fulham away and suffered a 1-2 defeat. Midweek, Leicester hosted Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Cup and convincingly won 4-0.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa has been steadily progressing in recent seasons, culminating in a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League at the end of last season. The Birmingham side finished fourth in the Premier League table and is now preparing to compete on Europe’s biggest stage.
However, the summer transfer window brought changes to the squad, with key players like Moussa Diaby moving to Al-Ittihad and Douglas Luiz transferring to Juventus. The funds received from these sales were reinvested in new signings, including Ian Maatsen, Lewis Dobbin, Enzo Barrenechea, Cameron Archer, and Amadou Onana. The refreshed squad started the season with a 2-1 victory over West Ham United but suffered a 0-2 defeat to Arsenal in the last round.
