Aston Villa vs Tottenham prediction: Watkins to strike in comfortable home win
Key stats
- Our Aston Villa vs Tottenham betting tips take into account that Spurs have lost 61% of their away games in the league this season.
- They’ve conceded 1.64 goals per game on average in the Premier League, the fifth-worst record in the English top flight.
- A win would take Villa onto 40 home points this season, a tally currently bettered by only champions Liverpool.
Correct score prediction: Aston Villa 3-1 Tottenham
While Spurs successfully managed to get this game moved forwards to aid their Europa League final preparations, Ange Postecoglou is still expected to protect some of his key players in this one.
They may struggle to match the intensity of a highly-motivated Aston Villa side that has been in great form, and it’s hard to see past a home win.

Watkins the record breaker
The English international scored his 75th Premier League goal for Aston Villa last weekend, setting a new club record by moving one clear of Gabby Agbonlahor.
