A challenging start to the season has shown no signs of ending for Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham side.
Spurs come into the weekend sitting down in eighth in the Premier League, having won four and lost four in their opening nine matches. The North London club have suffered two defeats in their last three, which includes a loss at Crystal Palace in the previous round.
Aston Villa’s positive record was halted last weekend following a disappointing home draw against Bournemouth.
A victory for Unai Emery’s side would have taken them within striking distance of top spot. Draws are becoming a slight issue after being held in three of their last four.
Odds
Tottenham will be a risky selection on the moneyline at odds-on. Villa could prove to be a popular angle at the prices currently available.

Away victories when these sides clash are a common trend, with four of the last five being won by the team on the road. Villa have won on their last two trips to North London, which includes a 2-1 success in this exact fixture last term.
However, Tottenham gained revenge in the return match at Villa Park with a 4-0 success. Each of the last three matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Tottenham Team News

Tottenham vs. Aston Villa Prediction
Given their inconsistent form this term, it would be challenging to trust Tottenham as an odds-on chance this weekend.
Aston Villa have been excellent on the road in 2024-25, and they appear to be the value angle with their counter-attacking style likely to spark rewards at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
