Betting tips: Aston Villa x Tottenham
Check out our predictions of the day for Aston Villa vs. Tottenham
Prediction 1: Aston Villa x Tottenham / Full-time draw
The home goalscoring prowess of Aston Villa is almost inevitable, and the Ollie Watkins-inspired Lions shouldn’t let Thursday’s exhaustion dampen their performance at Villa Park.
We can imagine an exciting draw in which Villa maintains control of the top-four battle despite Tottenham’s superior physical condition. Postecoglou’s squad has failed to reestablish its best form and has a history of failing to score while playing on rival territory.
Prediction 2: Aston Villa x Tottenham / Both teams to score
From the statistics, we can expect to see a team score and goals scored in this match between Aston Villa and Tottenham. One thing that stands out, especially when looking at Tottenham’s away record, is that Aston Villa’s current form is slightly more consistent than Spurs’. Even though Villa hasn’t been able to score a goal against Spurs this season, We still think the home team has a good shot at winning, but a draw and both teams score look very good.
Prediction 3: Aston Villa x Tottenham / Ollie Watkins to score anytime
This year, Ollie Watkins, an Aston Villa and England striker, has been sensational for the club. With 16 goals, he is second in the scoring statistics, behind only Erling Haaland. In his previous three Premier League games, he has scored five goals. He and Dominic Solanke are the two English strikers with the best form in the Premier League. Our second match prediction is that Watkins will score. He has an excellent chance to do just that.
