Why Bet on Aston Villa?
Aston Villa is performing above expectations, although the dream of being champion died several dates ago. If the Premier League ends today, the team coached by Unai Emery would qualify for the next Champions League, which would be an achievement.
In the previous round, they could defeat Luton Town 3-2 away, thanks to Ollie Watkins’ double and Lucas Digne’s goals. Watkins is one of the best players in the English competition, scoring 16 goals and providing 10 assists. His performance helps to explain the role of the Villains in the league.
In addition, Ollie has scored five goals in the last three games, thus why he is fighting for the Golden Boot with Norway’s Erling Haaland (18) and Egypt’s Mohamed Salah (15). If that wasn’t enough, the Englishman leads the field in goals + assists with 26, two more than Salah and three more than Haaland.
While Aston Villa lost at home to Newcastle and Manchester United in a row, they bounced back against Nottingham Forest. Overall, they are a good home side, scoring 31 points from 13 games.
Their offense is excellent, with 59 goals, but the 37 goals against is a point to improve if they want to aspire to maintain their position.
The injured players are Emiliano Buendía, Diego Carlos, Jhon Durán, Boubacar Kamará, and Tyrone Mings.
Why Bet on Tottenham?
When the season started, it seemed that Tottenham would compete to be champion but injuries punished this team, which today can only aspire to snatch the fourth place from Aston Villa. They have 50 points, five less than the Villains, but one game less than their rivals.
In the last matchday, the Spurs started losing against Crystal Palace but turned it around to take the three points. Timo Werner, Cristian “Cuti” Romero, and Heung-Min Son scored for the London team. There is no doubt that Tottenham have a lot of quality, but they need to find more consistency, especially away, where their level has been declining.
For example, out of the last nine points at stake away from home, they took two. They are the sixth team with the most points away from home, although it is also true that they have two games less than most in this condition.
Offensively, the South Korean Son is their top player, scoring 13 goals and providing six assists so far. His understanding of Brennan Johnson, Richarlison, and Dejan Kulusevski should make the opposing defense very careful.
Coach Ange Postecoglou has several injured players: Fraser Forster, Pedro Porro, Richarlison, Ryan Sessegnon, and Manor Solomon.
