LiontipsTottenham vs Aston Villa. Prediction and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the second half of September, Tottenham had an excellent series of five victories in all tournaments, but they were unable to continue playing at the same stable level. Frequent ups and downs could be seen later. Thus, in the last round of the Premier League, the Spurs lost to Crystal Palace (0:1), after which they beat Manchester City (2:1) in the 1/8 finals. Of course, it is worth making an adjustment for the fact that in that meeting, both teams were far from playing with their main lineups. In nine matches played in the championship, Ange Postecoglou charges have earned only 13 points, with which they have so far secured the role of a solid mid-table team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tottenham will be without Odober due to injury today. Son, Spence and van de Ven are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham have failed to win in the first half in three of their last four matches
- Spurs have not drawn in 25 consecutive home Premier League games
Probable line-up : Vicario - Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udoji - Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison - Johnson, Solanke, Werner.
Current form
Aston Villa have suffered two consecutive setbacks. First, in the Premier League, the Birmingham team missed out on a win against Bournemouth, allowing their opponent to bounce back in injury time (1:1). Then there was the exit in the 1/8 finals of the League Cup from Crystal Palace (1:2). These moments are a little alarming, but overall there is no need to talk about a decline. Let us recall that Unai Emery charges have scored the maximum nine points in the Champions League after three rounds and together with Liverpool lead the standings. In the Premier League, the team has 18 points, a victory today will allow them to rise straight to third place. It should be noted that Aston Villa has been playing away matches in all tournaments almost flawlessly since the beginning of the season - five wins and one draw.
Disqualifications and injuries
Aston Villa have no problems with their squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Both teams have scored in six of Aston Villa last seven Premier League games
- At least three goals have been scored in eight of Birmingham last 11 Premier League games
Probable line-up : Martinez - Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne - Onana, Tielemans - McGinn, Rodgers, Ramsey - Watkins.

12.50Tip and bets
Since the start of the season, Aston Villa have not suffered a single defeat in official matches in all tournaments away from home. It is clear that Unai Emery charges are comfortable playing second fiddle. Last season, they beat Tottenham in London, but suffered a defeat at home. Spurs have not been stable throughout the season and can completely fail a single match. We believe that bookmakers are slightly overestimating the hosts.
Our prediction is Aston Villa not to lose at odds of 1.93
Bet on total
Tottenham have accustomed their fans to productive football, but in recent matches in the attack one can observe a decline - in none of the three previous matches with the participation of the Spurs more than three goals were scored. At the same time, tactically Aston Villa is quite capable of "drying up" the game somewhat.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.87
Yellow Card Betting
It should be noted that Tottenham players have not received more than two yellow cards in 16 of the last 18 personal meetings on their home field in the Premier League. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting on the match.
Prediction - Tottenham total yellow cards under 2.5 with odds of 1.78
