Football pundits Gary Neville and Roy Keane are in unanimous agreement, forecasting a dominant away victory for Aston Villa when they face Leeds United this weekend.
Pundits Deliver Damning Verdict on Leeds
The latest episode of The Overlap's Stick to Football podcast featured predictions for Sunday's highly anticipated Premier League clash at Elland Road. The experts were unequivocal in their assessment, with Ian Wright, Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville, and Roy Keane all backing the visitors.
Unai Emery's Aston Villa are chasing their sixth win in seven league games, travelling to a ground where they have lost just one of their last eleven Premier League matches. This impressive record stands in stark contrast to the current form of Daniel Farke's Leeds, who have suffered consecutive defeats to Brighton and Nottingham Forest, conceding six goals in the process.
Keane and Neville's Blunt Assessment
Roy Keane did not mince his words, stating Leeds were 'so bad against Forest' and bluntly adding, 'Leeds are going down - they were dreadful.' His co-pundit Gary Neville echoed this harsh sentiment, revealing he believed Leeds were destined for the drop after watching their first game of the season.
'I thought, 'That's not right, that.' Shocking that night, I thought,' Neville remarked, reflecting on that early performance. Both Neville and Carragher predicted a straightforward 2-0 win for the away side.
Confident Predictions for Villa
Ian Wright was the first to declare 'Villa' as his pick, though he later questioned his own logic of giving teams a goal simply for being at home. The consensus, however, remained firmly in Villa's favour.
Roy Keane summarised the group's expectation, concluding that Villa will 'win two or three-nil' and that such a result would only confirm the doubts surrounding Leeds' prospects. The fixture follows the November international break and is set to be a major test for both sides with their contrasting fortunes.
