Aston Villa - Tottenham match score prediction: Close gap

Boosted by back-to-back wins over Fulham and Bournemouth, Aston Villa will be aiming to secure Champions League qualification when they welcome Tottenham to Villa Park on Friday night.

Aston Villa are determined to finish in the top five and are likely to be at full strength against Tottenham in Round 37. Experienced midfielder John McGinn is pushing for a start, while both Youri Tielemans and Marcus Rashford are sidelined through injury. Jacob Ramsey is banned for one match.

On the other side, the capital club suffered another disappointing defeat at the weekend, losing the London derby at home to Crystal Palace. Ange Postecoglou's side are heading into the Europa League final against Manchester United, so the trip to Villa Park is just an opportunity to review the squad.

The Roosters have lost 20 games this season (W11 D5) so losing another game is not a big deal. Dane Scarlett, Lucas Bergvall, Radu Dragusin and James Maddison are all out through injury.

The initial odds of Aston Villa conceding Tottenham by 1.5 goals, winning 97, losing 92, had changed very little, but this morning it had changed to a 95-95 handicap. The bookies said that Tottenham was distracted by the Europa League, and Aston Villa needed a goal to compete for the top 5, so they advised choosing the upper hand.

However, the history of confrontation makes many people worried. In fact, Tottenham is a very hostile opponent to Aston Villa, as evidenced by the fact that they have won 8 out of the last 9 away trips to Villa Park. That habit is easy to flare up when facing the old enemy.

Therefore, Aston Villa is the team that is nervous when entering this battle after losing heavily to Tottenham in the last 2 matches (1-4 away and 0-4 home). Therefore, Unai Emery will start the game more cautiously than attacking aggressively, which is easy to be counterattacked by the opponent.

The handicap is up to 1 and a half goals, choosing the underdog is more fun.

A draw seems to be an unlikely outcome in this match as 1-1 is priced at 12, 2-2 is priced at 17, and 0-0 is priced at 29. The most popular score is 2-1 with a 1-to-1 payout of only 8.8, while 2-0 and 3-1 are priced at 9.2, 3-0 is priced at 10, and 1-0 is priced at 12.
