Our Prediction for Tottenham vs Aston Villa
Tottenham return to north London to face Aston Villa in one of this weekend’s key fixtures in the Premier League predictions calendar. Ange Postecoglou’s side are unbeaten in four home matches and continue to play with confidence and energy. Villa arrive well-drilled under Unai Emery, but Spurs’ attacking quality and control in midfield should prove the difference.
Prediction: Tottenham to win 2–1
Betting tip: Tottenham win and both teams to score.
Tottenham Form Analysis
Tottenham have shown more balance in recent weeks, combining sharp attacking play with greater defensive discipline. Spurs remain one of the most productive home sides in the Premier League 25/26 season, scoring in every match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Pape Matar Sarr continues to impress in midfield, while captain Heung-min Son leads by example in the final third. Yves Bissouma’s recovery from injury adds much-needed stability through midfield. Spurs still need to improve when defending transitions, but their attacking threat makes them one of the deadliest sides to face.
Aston Villa Form Analysis
Aston Villa have enjoyed another solid campaign under Unai Emery, showing impressive structure and intensity. Away from home, though, their form has dipped slightly. They have conceded in seven of their last eight away league matches, which could prove costly against a confident Spurs side. Douglas Luiz and John McGinn anchor midfield effectively, while Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby offer pace on the counter. Ollie Watkins, recently back from a knock, remains the key to Villa’s attack. Villa will look to frustrate Tottenham and break quickly, but sustained defensive concentration will be crucial in this Premier League match prediction.

Spurs & Aston Villa Players That Used to Play in the EFL
Ollie Watkins – Formerly Brentford and Exeter City

Ezri Konsa – Formerly Charlton Athletic and Brentford
Konsa began at Charlton in League One before excelling for Brentford in the Championship. His reading of the game and composure under pressure reflect that valuable EFL experience.
Ben Davies – Formerly Swansea City
