Betting on Aston Villa
If Aston Villa wants to play in Europe next season, winning this match against Tottenham is a must, especially after suffering two defeats in the last two matchdays.
After an impressive second half of the season, including nine undefeated games, the Villans are on the brink of missing out on their goal due to those two negative results on the road.
Under the guidance of Unai Emery, the team arrives to this match in 8th place in the league standings with 54 points, just three points behind Tottenham, which it in 6th place. With only three games left to play, a draw or a loss would practically be a fatal blow to the team’s hopes.
To come out on top this Saturday, Villa needs to significantly improve its offensive performance. This team has the lowest number of goals scored (46) among the top 10 teams in the league. Moreover, in its last four matches, the team has only managed to score twice, whichdoes not correlate with its great defensive work as it has only conceded four goals in the past 11 matches.
The good news is that Villa has not lost at home in the last five matchdays, and during that time, its opponents have not scored a single goal, evidencing its strong defensive power.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Ashley Young, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne; Leon Bailey, Douglas Luiz; Jacob Ramsey, Emiliano Buendia, Bertrand Traore; Ollie Watkins.
Betting on Tottenham
If Aston Villa’s situation is delicate, Tottenham’s is not far behind. After spending a long time in the Champions League spots, a series of negative results have left the team on the edge of being out of any European competition.
Although its win against Crystal Palace calmed things down a bit, the Spurs have only managed to attain three wins in its last 10 matches played, which have made the team drop to 6th place with 57 points. This has put Tottenham seven points away from the fourth Champions League spot, which could be overtaken by Brighton. The Seagulls have accumulated 55 points in the Conference League spot, having played two games less.
Tottenham’s defensive problems are evident. If it wasn’t the fourth team with the highest amount of goals scored (67), its issues would be much greater, since it has conceded 57 goals, which is the sixth-highest number in the entire Premier League.
In fact, before its victory against Palace, Ryan Mason’s team had only earned one point in four matches after conceding 15 goals in that short period.
But that’s not all, Tottenham has not been able to win away in six matches. Two of its last three matches have taken place on the road, and 35 of the 57 conceded goals this year have been recorded while playing in this condition.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Fraser Forster; Emerson Royal, Cristian Romero, Clement Lenglet, Ben Davies; Pedro Porro, Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Heung-Min Son; Harry Kane, Richarlison.
JefeBet Prediction
There is no doubt that we will witness an impressive clash at Villa Park this Saturday between two teams who will give their all to secure a spot in Europe.
What will make this game even more entertaining is that both clubs arrive to this match after showcasing a similar performance and with just a three point difference between them.
Aston Villa’s defense has been really impressive in the last 11 matchdays, and its offense will face one of the weakest defenses in the league. Meanwhile, Tottenham will have to show all its offensive potential, while its defense should have a quieter day against Villa’s goal-scoring problems.
Despite all that was mention, we should not assume there will not be any goals scored. These teams need to add three points, so it is a good time to head over to DraftKings and play the both teams to score line, which is at (-170), and will make you win $59 for every $100 you bet.
Prediction: Both teams score: yes (AST 2 – TOT 1).
