Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Both teams to score has landed in Aston Villa’s last six home games.
• Aston Villa have conceded in 12 of their last 13 matches.
• Tottenham have scored in six of their last seven fixtures.

Villa rely on home advantage

Aston Villa fell to a shock defeat at relegation-threatened Wolves last weekend, but they should be able to bounce back when they host the injury ravaged Tottenham in this Sunday’s FA Cup tie.

The Villans have only managed one win from their last five games, but they are a different side at Villa Park and welcome Spurs having lost just two of their 18 competitive matches there this season.

Injury problems add to Postecoglou’s woes

Tottenham head to the Midlands having already been ousted from one cup competition this week, with Liverpool handing them a thrashing at Anfield to overturn their first-leg EFL Cup semi-final deficit.

To rub salt in the wound, Richarlison’s first-half injury added to Ange Postecoglou’s extensive injury list. The under-pressure Australian is without at least ten first-team players this weekend, which does little for their chances of upsetting the odds.

Expect goals at Villa Park

Despite this, Spurs should still get on the scoresheet against a Villa side that have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 competitive games.

Both teams to score has landed in each of their last six at Villa Park, including a couple of 2-1 wins, while Spurs have scored in six of their last seven games, so backing both teams to score alongside a 2-1 win for the hosts looks a good choice.
