- Venue: Villa Park (Birmingham)
After a 1:0 loss to Nottingham in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Aston Villa will turn its attention to the Premier League. There, they will welcome Tottenham in probably one of the most interesting games of the round. These two teams have a totally different goal for the season, as the Villans hope to secure a top-five finish and a Champions League appearance next season. On the other hand, the Spurs are only looking to survive and avoid relegation.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Premier League tie.

Premier League
These two teams met twice this season, both times at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Once in the FA Cup and once in the league. In both games, Aston Villa won 2:1. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, Aston Villa won seven, and Tottenham won three times.
When it comes to the number of goals, eight of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in six of those ten H2H games.
Aston Villa team overview
Aston Villa established itself as one of the best teams in England under Unai Emery. This season is not an exception, as the Villans are currently in 5th place with 58 points from 34 rounds and are eight points away from dropping out of the top five. They have also reached the Europa League Semi-Finals and will have the second leg against Nottingham after the Tottenham match. To be fair, it seems they slowed down a bit after losing back-to-back games to Fulham and Nottingham and need this win to get back on track.
Midfielder Amadou Onana suffered an injury in the previous game against Nottingham and had to leave the field after 55 minutes. According to English media reports, the midfielder will most likely miss the upcoming game(s). Additionally, Alysson and Boubacar Kamara should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Tottenham team overview
Tottenham are playing another horrific Premier League season. Last season, they finished 17th, but not too close to relegation. They also saved the season somewhat with a Europa League title. This season, the Spurs were atrocious and are on the brink of taking a trip to the Championship. After 34 rounds, they sit in 18th place with 34 points from 34 rounds. However, they showed some signs of life by winning four points in the past two games. At the moment, they are just two points away from the safe zone.
To be fair, a big part of the problem this season is constant injuries. Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simons are the new names on the injury list after sustaining injuries in the previous game against Wolves. Additionally, Kudus, Kulusevski, Odobert, Romero, Matar Sarr, Udogie, and Vicario should all remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Aston Villa just lost back-to-back games against Nottingham and Fulham. However, those were on the road. At Villa Park, they were amazing lately, winning four in a row while scoring 12 goals - three per game. They have scored that many goals against much better teams than Tottenham, and we believe they will continue to perform well offensively.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are one of the three best teams for this type of bet in the Premier League, along with Chelsea and Newcastle. 65% of their PL games ended with three or more goals. They have also shown some good offensive performances in the previous two games, scoring three goals vs Wolves and Brighton.
Also, both H2H games ended with three goals (2:1 for Aston Villa). Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Premier League tie.
3 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Aston Villa scored 12 goals in the past four home games
- Tottenham went over 2.5 goals in 65% of their PL games
- We saw three goals in both H2H games this season
