Tottenham vs Aston Villa: Emi Buendia odds to back this weekend

Tottenham Hotspur prepare to host Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend, with both sides desperate to earn their first win of the campaign.

Interestingly, the two teams have managed just a single Premier League goal between them so far. Spurs are still searching for their very first goal of the league season, while Villa have managed to find the net only once.

Keeping that in mind, Aston Villa's Emiliano Buendia is priced to score anytime at 18/5 (4.60).

Tottenham vs Aston Villa: Why Buendia is a smart choice

Despite both teams finding goalscoring opportunities hard to come by, backing Emiliano Buendia to score anytime stands out as a strong pick for this match.

The Argentine playmaker brings sharp attacking quality into this fixture, having already opened his account for the season with a fine goal in Aston Villa's UEFA Champions League opener against Club Brugge.

Beyond his recent European form, Buendia seems to bring his best performance whenever he faces Spurs. He holds an outstanding record against the North London side, having found the back of the net in each of the last three meetings between the two teams across all competitions.

Tottenham vs Aston Villa: Spurs favoured by bookies

Despite their recent shortcomings, Spurs are clear favourites and can be backed 1/1 (2.00) to win this weekend. Roberto De Zerbi’s troops currently sit in 17th place, the exact spot where they finished in each of the last two seasons.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, finished fourth last term. They also hold a dominant recent record over Spurs, winning four of the last five H2Hs and scoring exactly two goals in each of those victories. Given that historical edge, Aston Villa should win this one, and Buendia looks well-positioned to score against Spurs for the fourth consecutive time.
