Aston Villa vs Tottenham Prediction & Tips
Aston Villa’s form in the league has recently taken a downturn, and the four losses they’ve suffered in their last seven top-flight matches (W2, D1) equal the number they had recorded in their previous 24 games (W15, D5). Their run from October to December has allowed them to prioritize their Europa League semifinal tie against Nottingham Forest—in which they trail 1-0 after the first leg—without sacrificing their chances of qualifying for the Champions League via a top-five finish in the Premier League. However, the team wants to ensure that its final two league matches, against Liverpool and Manchester City, are not do-or-die affairs, as it seeks to record three consecutive home wins for the first time since early January.
Tottenham avoided matching their longest-ever winless streak in the top flight with a 1-0 victory over already-relegated Wolves, but came closer to a historic relegation as their direct rival, West Ham, also secured a win last weekend. Their survival will likely require a run of form not seen since August and September, starting with the Spurs recording their first streak of consecutive league wins since the first two matchdays of the season. Their best chance of staying up appears to lie on the road, where they have secured six of their last seven Premier League wins, though only one this season has come against teams currently in the top half of the table (W3, L44).
