  • The appetiser for the weekend’s big fixture in the Premier League – Liverpool vs Manchester United – is a huge game in its own right as Tottenham host Aston Villa in Sunday’s 2pm kick-off. 

    The Villans have found some form after a tricky start while Spurs have begun life under Thomas Frank in scintillating fashion, suggesting a thriller should play out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa Tips

Our Tip Methodology

At FootballTips, every prediction is shaped by a mix of data-driven analysis and informed football insight. Our contributors consider a wide range of factors before recommending a bet – from recent form and head-to-head records to tactical matchups, team news, and underlying stats.

We look for patterns in goal trends, home and away splits, player performance, and betting market movement to identify where the value lies. We don’t just tip favourites – we aim to find selections that offer a genuine edge. Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.

Why We’re Backing Draw @ 27/10 with AK Bets

  • Tottenham may be five points better off than their visitors but they are certainly not the form side coming into this clash.
  • Aston Villa have won each of their last four games and will be high on confidence ahead of their trip to the capital.
  • Frank has improved many things at Spurs but their defence is still shaky and their only clean sheet in five games has come against League One Doncaster.
  • The Lilywhites rode their luck in a narrow 2-1 victory over promoted Leeds last time out and, while their seven-match unbeaten run may not be snapped, they might have to settle for a point against the promoted Villans.

Why We’re Backing Donyell Malen to Score Anytime @ 4/1 with Bet365

  • Donyell Malen scored both goals as Villa won 2-1 at home to Burnley last time out to break his duck this season.
  • Malen followed up with a goal in the Netherlands’ 4-0 World Cup qualifying win at home to Finland.
  • Malen scored three times in the Premier League last season and those strikes came in three consecutive matches.

Tottenham Hotspur Form/Stats

  • Tottenham are unbeaten in seven games, but have drawn two of their last three.
  • Spurs have failed to score in just one of their 11 games under Thomas Frank.

Aston Villa Form/Stats

  • Aston Villa have won four games in a row, beating Bologna, Fulham, Feyenoord and Burnley.
  • Unai Emery’s Villans have scored eight goals during their winning sequence.

Player to Watch

Donyell Malen was Villa’s hero against Burnley, scoring a brace in the 2-1 victory, and the in-form forward may fancy his chances against a Spurs defence which has conceded four goals across clashes with Wolves, Leeds and Bodo/Glimt.

The Dutch speedster also netted for his national side last week, highlighting his impressive form and he looks a mammoth price to add to his growing goals tally.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa Head-to-Head Record

Aston Villa have won five of the pair’s last seven meetings, including each of the last two. Both of those victories came at Villa Park, though. 

Both teams to score has been a winning bet in four of the last six head-to-heads while five of the last six meetings have featured at least three goals.
