Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Preview and Team News

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Thomas Frank has quickly settled into life in North London, and Tottenham Hotspur could be a leading contender for a Champions League spot in 2025-26. They currently sit third in the Premier League standings, and confidence should be high after a professional 2-1 win over Leeds United before the international break. 

Frank has settled on a 4-2-3-1 system this term, with Palhinha and Bentancur catching the eye in the defensive midfield roles. Their ability to break up play and quickly put Spurs on the attack has been a major strength. 

Kudus leads the Premier League in assists, and his combination play with Simons in the final third already highlights Tottenham’s growing creativity in the final third. Richarlison could be recalled to the starting XI on Sunday in place of Tel. 

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kudus, Simons, Johnson; Richarlison.

Aston Villa Team News

Unai Emery must be more appeased with the state of his team than he was after the September international break. Aston Villa have bounced back to form in recent weeks, winning each of their last four outings across all competitions. 

However, the club have yet to win on the road in the Premier League this season. A crucial run of matches awaits the Villans in their European challenge, with upcoming league clashes against Manchester City and Liverpool following their Europa League fixture on October 23. 

Emery has gone with a new-look 4-2-2-2 formation, featuring McGinn and Rogers supporting Malen and Watkins at the top of the field. However, the latter is an injury concern this weekend after limping off during England’s win over Wales. Mings and Tielemans are also unavailable for the trip to London. 

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-2-2): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Bogarde, Kamara; McGinn, Rogers; Malen, Guessand.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Prediction 

• Pick: Tottenham Hotspur to win
• Odds: +112 (20Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Aston Villa

Recent league wins over Burnley and Fulham have covered up the cracks for Emery’s Aston Villa, but they could struggle against a European rival on Sunday. The Villans have lacked a creative spark throughout the season, and their chances this weekend aren’t helped by Watkins’ absence. 

Tottenham have been excellent offensively in their home matches this season, scoring 1.33 goals per game from an xG of 1.30. The creativity they boast across the forward line should give them enough quality to get maximum points this weekend. 

Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: -156 (20Bet)

Both Tottenham and Aston Villa have struggled defensively in recent weeks. The visitors have allowed an average of one goal per game, while Spurs concede a high xGA of 1.46 in their home fixtures, as they’re often caught off guard in transition. 

Therefore, there’s value in siding with both teams to score when making a Tottenham Hotspur vs. Aston Villa prediction. This selection has been a winner in four of their last six head-to-head encounters.
