Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction 10.03.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 10th March 2024
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET
• Venue: Villa Park (Birmingham)

Aston Villa is enjoying an exceptional season, poised to mark their best performance in nearly three decades. Currently occupying the fourth spot with 55 points from 27 matches, a victory over fifth-placed Tottenham could see the Villans taking a significant step towards securing a place in the Champions League. Although many football enthusiasts had hopes of them vying for the title, being eight points behind the top-placed Liverpool makes it an unrealistic aim at this point. Additionally, the Villans have been making impressive strides in Europe, having made it to the Europa Conference League 1/8 Finals. They managed a 0:0 draw against Ajax in the Netherlands during the first leg. Following their match against Tottenham, they are scheduled to play Ajax in England.

After years of failing to secure any trophies, Tottenham underwent significant changes over the Summer. Despite starting off well, it seems likely they’ll once again finish the season without any silverware. They currently trail Aston Villa, who are in fourth place, by five points. This upcoming game could determine their eligibility to compete in the UCL next season. Furthermore, their performance in Cup competitions has also been lackluster, only making it to the 1/32 Finals in the Carabao Cup and the 1/16 Finals in the FA Cup.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham pick: Over 3.5 goals

Aston Villa stands out as one of the top teams in the league for over 3.5 goals, with 55% of their Premier League matches (15 out of 27 games) ending with at least four goals. Newcastle is the only team that has outperformed the Villans in this betting category.

Tottenham recently participated in only high-scoring games, averaging 3.8 goals per match with both teams scoring.

This season, both teams have exhibited strong offensive performances, with Tottenham and Aston Villa averaging 2.12 and 2.19 goals per game respectively, placing them amongst the league’s top teams in this area. However, their defensive skills have been less impressive, making it challenging to anticipate a clean sheet when playing against competent offensive teams. Given these factors, we predict a game where four or more goals are scored, and it is highly probable that both teams will contribute to this score.
