Aston Villa vs. Leeds Bet Builder Tips: Fouls on the menu at Villa Park
Aston Villa welcome Leeds United to Villa Park on Friday night in the Premier League and here at BettingOdds.com we’ve provided you with our best Bet Builder tips for the occasion.
New boss Unai Emery has now overseen five league matches since arriving in The Midlands and holds a record of three wins, one draw and one loss. Villa currently sit 11th in the Premier League table, three points behind Chelsea in 10th as we reach the halfway stage of the campaign.
Leeds have come away with a point in their last two league outings, with a well earned draw at Newcastle on New Year’s eve, before a 2-2 stalemate with West Ham. Jesse Marsch’s men also were held to the same scoreline in the FA Cup by Cardiff last weekend and now return to league action as they look to increase the current two point gap between themselves and the drop zone.
Taking a look at the match result odds for Friday’s fixture and the home side are the favourites with the bookmakers to pick up all three points, priced at 10/11. The draw is available at 13/5, while a first league win for Leeds since November can be backed at 3/1.
Aston Villa vs Leeds Bet Builder Tips
The player fouls market has been very popular with punters over the last few months and with Paddy Power allowing the ability to combine those selections into multiples, we make them the bookmaker of choice when it comes to this peripheral market.
We are kicking off our Bet Builder on Friday with Tyler Adams of Leeds to commit 2+ fouls. No player has committed more fouls for Leeds this season than Adams who averages 1.9 per game across his 15 appearances this campaign. The American has made 2+ fouls in his last four league appearances for Leeds and we fancy that streak to continue here.
Next up it’s Emi Buendia who we are focussing our attention on. The Argentine has been enjoying a good run of starts under the new Villa manager and when it comes to fouls he has committed 1+ in all of his last eight starts. The 2+ line has been cleared on five of those eight most recent starts and with Leeds’ most fouled player Brendan Aaronsen operating on that side of the pitch, it may help our case for 2+ fouls from Buendia.
Rounding off the trio of picks from the player fouls market is Ashley Young. This time we have just opted for Young to make 1+ fouls, with him averaging 0.9 per game in 2022/2023. In total Young has committed a foul in 11 of his 14 league appearances this season and combining him with Tyler Adams and Emi Buendia pays 9/2 with Paddy Power.
