Aston Villa and Tottenham are both having seasons which involves them punching above their respective weight. Spurs supporters were uncertain of the 2023/24 campaign after the departure of Harry Kane, although Ange Postecoglou’s team has made light of the striker transferring to Bayern Munich and have a healthy return of fifty points from twenty-six games.
They head to Villa Park knowing that a victory would shift the power in Tottenham’s favour when it comes to landing fourth spot this season. They are five points behind Villa with a game in hand and it’s clear that the visitors will be aiming to win the game, having come from behind to record a 3-1 triumph over Crystal Palace.
Spurs’ injury problems have eased more recently, with James Maddison pulling the strings in midfield, while Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-Min are both in excellent form. However, this represents a tricky assignment when they face an Aston Villa side who have won ten matches at home this season.
This includes wins over Arsenal and Manchester City, with Ollie Watkins in excellent scoring form and the England man was at the double at Kenilworth Road. That has taken his tally to sixteen goals and this is a side that average nearly three goals per home game. We’re certainly in the market for goals being scored here and Over 3.5 Goals could be the shout.
