Tottenham take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, January 1st at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Tottenham have been playing under Antonio Conte for a year now. For starters, he was able to get ahead of Arsenal (and not only), having won the coveted 4th place in the spring. And this fall, it turned out to keep these positions in the Premier League by the time of the pause, at the same time managing to break into the playoffs of the Champions League. On the other hand, “Hotspurs” very often have inconsistent streaks. For example, in the European Cup, everything was decided by the match of the 6th round with Marseille on the road, but they lost the 1st half there, and the final 2-1 was sealed by Heibjerg in the 5th added minute. In the Premier League, before the pause, they pulled out a victory over Leeds, scoring twice in the end. But in December, they barely bounced back for a draw with their neighbor, Brentford.

Aston Villa started an extraordinary tradition: they have been changing their mentor for the 2nd autumn in a row. This time the board managed to lure Unai Emery to Birmingham. Perhaps they played on the pride of the Spaniard - he wants to get revenge for his failure at Arsenal. Immediately after appearing in a new post, an extraordinary specialist managed to win against Manchester United, and then they took 3 points on the Brighton field. True, at the same time, Manchester United took revenge in the League Cup. And, most importantly, after a pause, in December, they started with a home defeat. However, having missed twice by the 37th minute, “Aston Villa” was able to return to the fight, even scored with the efforts of Watkins. But the last word was left to the “Reds”, or rather, their debutant – Bajcetic.
In the last 9 head-to-head matches, Aston Villa had only 1 victory. All other matches were won by Tottenham. Paradoxically, both Conte and Emery seem to be pragmatic. But “Tottenham” with “Aston Villa”, scoring and conceding in response. We recommend betting on “over 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
