Preview & Prediction: Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur
Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are set to face off in the Premier League, and it’s bound to be an exciting game. Aston Villa has been in good form and has won their last 5 home games, but their recent struggles in front of goal could pose a challenge for them.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur has been in decent form, with an average of 0.8 points per game in their last 5 matches. They have a good record of scoring goals too, with 9 goals in their last 5 games.

Based on past performances, Tottenham Hotspur has been dominant against Aston Villa, winning 18 out of 27 previous meetings. However, Aston Villa has the advantage of playing at home, and they have averaged 1.88 points per game in their home matches this season, compared to Tottenham Hotspur’s 1.18 points per game in their away matches.
Even though Clement Lenglet hurt his shoulder last weekend, he is likely to play for Tottenham Hotspur against Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League. The player on loan from Barcelona was in the starting lineup when Crystal Palace came to town, but he had to leave in the 88th minute to make room for Eric Dier, who played the last few minutes. Lenglet was helped off the pitch by medical staff. As he walked off, he was seen feeling his shoulder, but Ryan Mason was sure that he hadn’t caused anything serious.

In an open and honest talk before Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League game against Aston Villa this weekend, Harry Kane attacked the “standards” at the club. Spurs play at Villa Park on Saturday. They haven’t won on the road in six games, since January when they beat Fulham. Kane’s goals have been a big part of how many points his team has won this season, which has been a bad one for Tottenham.
With a win, Villa would have the same number of points as Ryan Mason’s team. This would set up a great finish to the season as the race for a spot in Europe heats up. Kane said before Saturday’s game that the club hasn’t gotten worse since Mauricio Pochettino left in November 2019.

Overall, it’s hard to predict the winner of this game, but it’s likely to be a high-scoring affair with both teams capable of finding the back of the net. BTTS has landed in both teams’ recent games, and it could very well happen again in this match.
