Tottenham v Aston Villa

Tottenham vs Aston Villa Preview

Tottenham's mixed start to this new Premier League season continued last weekend when Spurs were handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at nearby London rivals, Crystal Palace, while Aston Villa continued their unbeaten stretch in the Premier League to seven games overall with a 1-1 draw at home with Bournemouth.

Tottenham still remain in the top half of the Premier League despite losing four out of their opening nine games of the new campaign and Spurs' saving grace has been the fact that the north London club have also picked up four wins as well.

However, victories against Everton, Brentford, Manchester United and West Ham have been offset by suffering losses at the hands of Newcastle United, Arsenal, Brighton and Crystal Palace respectively.

Tottenham have managed to capture just six wins within their last 16 matches in the Premier League which could place the hosts at a disadvantage for this Sunday's clash against Aston Villa, especially as Ange Postecoglou's side have slipped to three defeats within their last seven home games.

By contrast, Aston Villa bring a solid looking seven-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash in the nation's capital as the west midlands club have picked up four wins along with three draws, so Unai Emery's men will be in confident mood.

Victories gained at the expense of Leicester City, Everton, Wolves and Fulham respectively have once again helped Aston Villa up into early contention for another Champions League spot for next season as the west midlands club currently occupy fourth place in the table.

Despite losing to Brighton and Crystal Palace towards the end of the last campaign along with being dealt a 2-0 loss at home to Arsenal, these have been Villa's only three defeats within their previous 16 matches overall in the Premier League whilst The Villains have collected seven wins within this period as well.

In addition, Unai Emery's side have performed pretty well on their travels as well, as the west midlands visitors have slipped to just three losses in their last 13 outings on the road, picking up seven wins along the way, one of which was a 2-0 win away at Tottenham's fierce rivals, Arsenal, towards the end of last season.

Interestingly, seven of Aston Villa's last 13 away games have also resulted in Under 3.5 goals and this upcoming tussle in the north of London on Sunday afternoon is expected to be a tightly fought encounter.

Tottenham v Aston Villa Verdict

Recent previous exchanges between Tottenham and Aston Villa have seen the west midlands club come out on top, winning three of the last four meetings and a low-scoring game with possibly Villa coming out on top by a 1-0 scoreline looks to be on the cards here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Aston Villa win @ 3.60

Other side bets worth considering:

Aston Villa win & Under 3.5 goals @ 5.50

Correct Score: Aston Villa 1-0 @ 19.00
