Current streaks

Recent form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form presents a mixed picture with some concerning trends. The team has struggled in their last six matches, winning only once in a convincing 4-0 League Cup victory against Tranmere, which was also their only clean sheet in this period. They've endured a difficult run of three consecutive losses in friendlies, conceding in each game without scoring. In Premier League action, Leicester has managed just one point from two games, placing them 15th in the table. Their goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with 6 goals in 6 games, but 4 of those came in a single match. Defensively, they've conceded 8 goals in 6 games, highlighting potential vulnerabilities at the back. The team's ability to keep matches close is evident, with half of their recent games seeing under 2.5 total goals.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team experiencing alternating results in their last six matches. Despite their current 13th position in the league, they've managed to secure 3 points from their first two Premier League games, indicating a decent start to the season. However, their overall record of 2 wins and 4 losses in the last 6 games, including friendlies, suggests some inconsistency. The team's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. Offensively, Villa has struggled to find the net consistently, scoring only 0.83 goals per game. The standout match in this period was their 3-2 victory over Athletic Club in a friendly, which was the only game where they scored more than two goals and also the only one that saw over 2.5 goals scored in total.

Recent home/away form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent home form presents a mixed picture with some notable highs and lows. The team has experienced a run of three consecutive losses at home, including two friendly matches and a Championship game, before bouncing back with a draw against Tottenham and a convincing win in the League Cup. Their most impressive performance came in a 5-0 thrashing of Southampton in the Championship, showcasing their potential for high-scoring games. However, they've also struggled to find the net in three of their last six home matches, resulting in 1-0 or 2-0 defeats. Despite this inconsistency, Leicester has managed to maintain a positive goal difference and has kept two clean sheets in their last six home games, indicating some defensive resilience amidst their attacking fluctuations.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa's recent away form shows a mixed performance, with a notable contrast between competitive and friendly matches. The team has experienced a run of four consecutive losses in friendly matches, including a high-scoring 4-1 defeat against Columbus Crew. However, they bounced back with a crucial 2-1 Premier League victory against West Ham in their most recent away game. Despite the string of friendly match losses, Villa managed to score in 4 out of 6 games, maintaining an average of 1 goal per game. Defensively, they've struggled, conceding 10 goals in 6 matches, with only one clean sheet. The team's goal difference of -4 and the fact that both teams scored in only 33% of these games suggest room for improvement in both attack and defense on the road.
