Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Tips & Predictions

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pocchettino once again underlined his desire for the Premier League trophy in midweek when he selected a largely second string starting 11 away to Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League. This resulted in a 3-0 thrashing by the Germans, putting them all but out of the Europa League. Their focus will now be 100% on securing their first ever Premier League trophy.

But after a draw against Arsenal and a defeat to West Ham they now have a five point gap to make up on league leaders Leicester. They desperately need a win here to put some pressure on the frontrunners for the title, who play on Monday evening.

Aston Villa are just counting down the days until they exit the Premier League. They are rock bottom of the table and nine points adrift of safety, and they’re showing no signs of staging a late resurgence.

They held Manchester City off for 45 minutes last weekend but succumbed to a flurry of second half goals, eventually losing the game 4-0. This was their 4th defeat on the trot in the Premier League, and they have lost six of their last seven outings.

We can expect the full strength Spurs side to take to the field on Sunday, and that is a team that aren’t to be taken lightly. They have won six of their last eight in the Premier League and will be confident of adding another to their tally against an Aston Villa side who have conceded 15 goals in their last four matches.

Three of their last four games have seen them lose by at least two goals, so odds of 2.375 for a Tottenham Hotspur -1.5 Asian Handicap look too good to turn down. I’m also going for a 3-0 correct score prediction at 10/1.
