Recent form
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a notable turnaround in their last two matches. After a concerning run of three consecutive defeats, including a high-scoring 4-3 loss to 1899 Hoffenheim and a heavy 5-1 defeat at home to VfL Wolfsburg, Leipzig have bounced back with two impressive wins. These victories, a 3-0 triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Pokal and a 2-0 away win against Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, have seen them keep clean sheets in both matches. Despite their recent improvement, Leipzig's defensive record remains a concern, having conceded 10 goals in their last six games, with an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. However, their attacking prowess is evident, scoring 9 goals in this period, contributing to a high total goals average of 3.17 per match. The team's ability to produce high-scoring encounters is further highlighted by the fact that 50% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable upturn in their last two Premier League games. The Villans have secured back-to-back victories, scoring four goals and conceding only one in the process. This marks a positive shift after a challenging period where they failed to win in four consecutive matches, including two draws and two losses. Despite their recent improvement, Villa's goal difference remains negative (-2) over the last six games, largely due to a heavy 3-0 defeat against Chelsea. Their defensive record has been inconsistent, with two clean sheets but also conceding eight goals in total. Interestingly, Villa's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and the other half under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with notable highs and lows. The team have shown their goalscoring prowess, netting 11 times in their last six home matches, including a high-scoring 4-2 victory over FC St. Pauli in the DFB Pokal. However, their defensive record has been inconsistent, as evidenced by the shocking 5-1 defeat to VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. Leipzig have managed two clean sheets in this period, but have also conceded nine goals overall, highlighting their vulnerability at the back. The Red Bulls have been involved in some entertaining encounters, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting fans can typically expect action-packed matches at the Red Bull Arena.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the club currently enduring a concerning four-match losing streak on the road. This run includes defeats to Chelsea, Liverpool, Club Brugge, and Tottenham Hotspur, with the latter being a notably high-scoring affair that ended 4-1 in Spurs' favour. The Villans have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six away matches and conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game. Their attacking output has also dipped, managing to score just once in their last four away fixtures. The team's only away victory in this period came against Fulham, where they scored an impressive three goals. Despite the recent slump, Villa's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in half of the encounters.
