Premier League: Aston Villa VS Tottenham Hotspur

Time: 2025-05-17 2:30

Venue: Villa Park Stadium

Aston Villa, as a strong team in the Premier League, has performed relatively smoothly overall this season, currently ranks 6th in the league, the same points as the Champions League zone. In order to win a valuable Champions League seat from the fierce competition, the whole team is full of fighting spirit and no need to say much. Judging from its recent status, Aston Villa actually has performed well. In the last round of the league, they defeated Bournemouth 1-0 away and successfully won two consecutive league wins. On the offensive end, Aston Villa has strong firepower. He has failed to score in only one of his last 15 official games, with an average of 2.06 goals per game, and his offensive efficiency is considerable.

As a second-tier Premier League club, Tottenham Hotspur's performance this season has not been satisfactory and is currently only ranked 17th in the league. In the league, they are basically without desires, and the team's center of gravity tends to be more inclined to the UEFA Cup final on May 22, so there are doubts about the fighting spirit of this game. According to recent situation analysis, Tottenham's performance in the league is very bad. In the last round of the league, they lost to Crystal Palace 0-2 at home, and only achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses in the last 10 rounds of the league. The only victory was against the league's deputy squad leader Southampton

Comprehensive analysis: Aston Villa has achieved 10 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss at home this season, and is in the midst of four consecutive home wins in the league; and it should be noted that Tottenham has no desires in the league, and the team will basically tend to focus most of the focus on the Europa League final a few days later, so there is doubt in this game. Overall, it is optimistic about Villa's victory in this game, and Tottenham will lose at most two goals

Recommended: draw/lose score: 2-0 2-1 Number of goals: 2/3 goals
