Tottenham Hotspur - Aston Villa betting tips and odds

Though Tottenham Hotspur are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

Aston Villa appear severely unprepared for a clash with Tottenham, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.70 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Spurs’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Arsenal . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 3:1 defeat.

Most betting predictions expected Villa to lose their previous away game at Manchester United. The first half ended inconclusively, but they went ahead in the latter half and unexpectedly won the game 0:1.

With 9 concessions over the last 3 matches, Tottenham will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

Spurs bagged a decent enough position in the standings so far, moving up to 11th. They’ll definitely want to keep up the momentum and try to get higher, though Villa are not about to make it easy for them.

Aston Villa are 3 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot, and reaching it is likely their main goal for the time being. On one hand, the season is still in its early stages, leaving plenty of time to get there. On the other, this matchup against Tottenham is heavily in the home team’s favour, and the visitors will be lucky to earn even a single point.

Last season, the hosts met Villans and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Ben Davies, Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon will have to sit this one out, while Villa will have to make do without Trezeguet, Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Morgan Sanson, Keinan Davis.

At the odds of 2.15, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for Tottenham.
