How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Aston Villa
Villa combine structure with enough quality in the final third to punish mistakes at Villa Park. Midfield control is their foundation.
Away
Leeds United
Expect Leeds to stay compact on their trip to Villa Park and look for a moment rather than control the game.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Villa name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Leeds score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Villa vs Leeds
Aston Villa take on Leeds United in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Villa's way. The gap in expected goals (2.22 for Villa, 0.79 for Leeds) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 70% for Villa. Leeds's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
