Before Betting On Aston Villa vs Tottenham

A pivotal match in the context of a top six finish in the Premier League will be staged at Villa Park this weekend. Aston Villa’s chances of a European finish have been negatively impacted in recent weeks, as they have lost each of their previous two. That run of form has seen the Midlands side drop to eighth in the standings, but they could move back to within touching distance of the top six with a win this weekend.

Villa claimed a 2-0 win in North London earlier this season, but they haven’t completed a league double over Spurs since the 1995-96 campaign. This is also a fixture that Villa have often disappointed in, as each of their previous four wins against Tottenham have come away from home. In fact, Villa hasn’t recorded a home success against Spurs since January 2008.

Tottenham reignited their hopes of a European finish this term last weekend, as they registered an important 1-0 home success against Crystal Palace. Their chances of victory this weekend will also be enhanced by the fact that they are unbeaten in eleven at Villa Park, winning nine over that period.

However, their recent away form would be a big concern. Spurs are without a victory in their last six on the road, losing four over that period. They also come into this match after losing back-to-back games away from home. However, they haven’t lost three in succession on the road since February 2021.

This is an interesting showdown between the two sides this weekend. However, we would be keen to lean on Tottenham’s historical advantage at Villa Park. We could see them registering a huge win to end Villa’s European dreams.
