Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Preview

Aston Villa

Unai Emery’s boys are playing bad in the last few weeks. If nothing else, they managed to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League, but other than that, things aren’t looking splendid for the team from Villa Park.

Just one victory in the past five events (against Celtic 4-2), with two ties and two losses, the most recent vs. Wolves, 2-0 in the local derby, have set the alarm off in Birmingham.

Aston Villa’s defense is terrible. With just one clean sheet in the previous 10 matches, it presents the main problem for Emery. The good thing is that the Villains scored goals, which is the only reason why this team didn’t sink further in the EPL standings.

Tottenham

The Spurs haven’t been able to get their groove for quite some time. They did win three of the previous four events, but overall, Tottenham isn’t as confident as before. And that’s a fact.

A huge surprise are back-to-back clean sheets Postecoglou’s unit managed to record. We all know that Tottenham has a poor defensive line, which often collapses and creates problems for its team.

The only constant in the Spurs’ performances is high efficiency. Seven of the latest 10 games saw over 2.5 goals. Six during the same span ended with both teams netting. As stated, the reason for all this is Tottenham’s defense, which usually erases the effort delivered by forwards.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Head to Head

Tottenham smashed Villa in London on November 3, 4-1. It was one of the best performances of the year the Spurs posted, as they fell into a deficit at halftime yet netted four times in a row during the second 45 minutes. Johnson, Maddison, and Solanke twice scored.

Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Prediction

Aston Villa’s results at home are very good this year, and overall, Villa Park is their stronghold. However, Tottenham doesn’t mind about the venue, and they play the same regardless of the rivals and the stadiums. That’s why we won’t bet on the full-time result, but rather pick both teams netting and over 2.5 goals. The respective defenses are far worse than rival’s attacks.

Our verdict: BTTS & Over 2.5 goals
