Tottenham vs Aston Villa: Premier League, preview and betting tips

Sunday’s football programme will definitely offer interesting battles. Tottenham will play Aston Villa for the Top 4, what to expect from the match of two pleasant surprises of this season and what to bet on?

Tottenham led the league for quite a long time, breaking one joint record after another, but then James Maddison and Micky van der Ven got injured and Spurs lost two games in a row by a total score of 2: 6.

It is Aston Villa who continue their fine run under Unai Emery, fifth place only three points behind first placed Manchester City would have been something unthinkable last year. The Spanish coach has made Villa Park a fortress, but it’s creaking outside.

Tottenham’s key figures

In the absence of the mainstays, Heung-Min Son’s productivity will be needed even more, the Korean technician has struck eight times and assisted once. The master of assists Dejan Kulusevski will also have to work, the Swedish speedster is only on three goals so far.

Aston Villa’s key figures

Ollie Watkins is offering the spectators a shooting concert so far, the English striker has netted 11 goals and assisted five times. Summer signing Moussa Diaby has caught on well, with the French international notching three shots in addition to three assists.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa odds and betting tips

Spurs are shaky in defence without van de Ven, plus they continue to miss the sidelined Cristian Romero. So the pairing of Eric Dier – Ben Davies, which translates to unreliable butcher and left back, will play again.

Aston Villa are running like a well-oiled machine, with only one loss and a draw in their last nine games. With that in mind, I think they can manage at least a draw this time on Spurs soil too.

Given Spurs’ defensive absences and, conversely, the decent shooting form of Watkins, John McGinn and Douglas Luiz, I think the Villans will score two or more goals on Spurs soil.

Betting tip: Aston Villa will not lose 1.59
