Tottenham are currently fourth, two points behind the leader Manchester City and one point ahead of their opponents. The first two teams have a head-to-head game, which means that someone who wins in our game can get higher in the standings.
This season seems to be quite successful for Tottenham so far. However, their last games before the international break makes me think that problems are starting to emerge. The Spurs lost two consecutive games. They were beaten by Chelsea (1:4) and didn’t manage to win the game versus Wolverhampton, leading throughout almost the whole game and conceding twice at the very end (1:2).
Aston Villa have been more lucky recently, despite losing the game against Nottingham Forest (0:2). However, their opponents in several last rounds weren’t too strong. They beat West Ham United (4:1), Luton Town (3:1) and Fulham (3:1).
Aston Villa won both games of the previous Premier League season. They scored twice in their away game in London, without conceding a goal. The home match in Birmingham ended 2:1 to Aston Villa. However, the season before Tottenham were stronger on both occasions. Earlier in the history, Tottenham were more successful, but probably the results we could see even a couple of years ago don't really matter now.
Bookmakers see no favorite in this match. They believe that the sides have almost even chances to win. You can bet on Tottenham to win at around 13/10. The odds for Aston Villa to win are at around 9/5. You can bet on a draw at around 29/10.
Three goals tops have been scored in 10 out of the last 12 head-to-head Premier League games in London.
Aston VIlla haven’t been able to score more than 1 goal in 9 out of the last 11 head-to-head Premier League games in London.
The international break could be a breath of fresh air for the home side. However, we can’t forget the results of their last two games. This match versus Aston Villa is very important for Tottenham. The away side will try to keep their pretty successful results alive, but facing the Spurs is way too different from the games against Luton Town or Fulham. I’m not sure that Tottenham will win this match, but I believe that they won’t lose. And I don’t thing that the defensive lines of both sides will be strong enough.
