Current streaks

Recent form

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six games. The Villans have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five out of six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 10 goals in six games and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. Villa's attack has been relatively consistent, scoring in five out of six matches, including an impressive 3-2 away victory against RB Leipzig in the Champions League. However, their goal difference remains negative, highlighting the need for defensive improvement. The team's ability to compete with top sides is evident in their 2-1 victory over Manchester City, but inconsistency has left them in 9th position in the league table.

Leicester

Leicester City are enduring a torrid run of form, currently sitting in 19th position in the Premier League with just 14 points from 19 games. The Foxes are on a concerning four-match losing streak, having failed to score in three of those defeats. Their defensive woes are particularly alarming, with the team conceding a staggering 15 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.5 goals conceded per game. Leicester have not kept a clean sheet in their last 13 games, highlighting their vulnerability at the back. The 4-0 drubbing by Newcastle United stands out as a particularly heavy defeat. Despite these struggles, Leicester's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. Their last victory, a 3-1 win over West Ham, now seems a distant memory as they face an uphill battle to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Villa Park. The Villans have secured three wins and three draws during this period, demonstrating their resilience on home turf. Notably, they've embarked on a three-match winning streak in the Premier League, including a notable victory over Manchester City. Villa have been prolific in front of goal, netting 10 times in these six games, with an average of 1.67 goals per match. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only six goals and keeping two clean sheets. The majority of their home fixtures have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of the matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their most recent encounter, a 2-2 draw against Brighton, exemplifies the exciting football on display at Villa Park, where both teams have scored in two-thirds of the matches.

Leicester

Leicester City's away form has been nothing short of dismal, with the Foxes currently enduring a five-match losing streak on the road. Their defensive woes are particularly concerning, having conceded a staggering 20 goals in their last six away fixtures, averaging 3.33 goals conceded per game. The team has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, with particularly heavy defeats coming against Newcastle United (4-0) and Manchester United in the League Cup (5-2). Despite their struggles, Leicester have managed to find the back of the net in four of these six games, though their average of 0.83 goals scored per match is far from impressive. The high-scoring nature of their away matches is evident, with 83% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the fixtures. This poor run of form has undoubtedly contributed to their precarious 19th position in the league table.
