Leicester City vs. Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips

On Saturday afternoon (31/08/24), Aston Villa take on Leicester City in what looks like an intriguing Premier League clash. Below, we've put together a few Bet Builder tips for the clash at the King Power Stadium.

Both Teams To Score, Morgan Rogers & Leon Bailey 1+ Shots On Target and Wilfried Ndidi 2+ Fouls - 7/1

Both teams to score has been a regular occurrence in recent matches involving these two sides, with both teams having found the back of the net in four of the last five head-to-head meetings. BTTS has also occurred in both of Leicester's opening two games in the Premier League and two of Villa's last four.

Morgan Rogers has proven a handful for opposing players in the early portion of this season and that's largely been a constant since signing for Villa, with the England U21 international recording six shots on target in seven full 90s completed in the Premier League.

Likewise, Leon Bailey offers a similarly menacing attacking threat from Villa's right flank, with the Jamaican registering 19 shots on target in his last 25 full 90s completed.

Leicester's Wilfried Ndidi is prone to a foul, with the Nigerian committing 33 fouls in 23 full 90s in the Championship last season, and in a league where Leicester are much less dominant that number is only likely to increase, as shown by the fact he's committed four fouls in his first two games this season.

Aston Villa To Win, Ollie Watkins To Score, Jordan Ayew 1+ Shots On Target and John McGinn To Win 2+ Fouls - 17/2

Aston Villa have gotten the better of the recent head-to-head matchups between the two teams, winning three of the last six meetings, with Leicester winning two.

With 19 goals last season, Ollie Watkins was Villa's leading goalscorer and one of the Premier League's top scorers too. The England man has not scored yet this season but has missed a few glaring chances, showing he's dusting off the cobwebs following an inactive preseason which gives the impression his first goal of the season is imminent.

Jordan Ayew's threat in attack is everpresent, and the Ghanian brings a wealth of experience to Leicester's forward line after signing last week. Ayew registered 19 shots on target in 28 games last season, and he also got on the scoresheet in his full debut for the club during the week.

John McGinn drew a whopping 69 fouls in 33 games for Villa last season, and it looks like that rate is set to continue this season, with the Scottish international having drawn seven fouls in his first two league games this season.
