Can the Spurs escape the relegation battle?
Although Tottenham Hotspur recently secured their very first league win of 2026 with a 1-0 victory over Wolves, the situation remains precarious. The Spurs remain in 18th place – currently two points away from safety. Aston Villa, on the other hand, has virtually secured a Champions League spot for next season and sits in fifth place with 58 points – eight points ahead of sixth place.
The visitors from London have recently shown particular scoring prowess on the road after halftime—in their last nine away games, the Spurs have scored seven times in the second half, while remaining completely goalless in the other two. In our Aston Villa vs. Tottenham prediction, we are therefore once again betting on Tottenham to score in the second half.
Aston Villa heads into this match with rather inconsistent form, though their recent results paint a somewhat contradictory picture. Just two wins from their last seven Premier League matches, along with one draw and four losses, mark a clear decline compared to their previous stable run, during which they lost only four times in 24 games. At the same time, their home form remains a relevant factor: a third consecutive home win is possible and would confirm a trend that last culminated in a longer winning streak in January.
Also notable is their offensive reliance on Ollie Watkins, who has scored ten of his eleven goals this season since December, making him one of the league’s hottest strikers. In our Aston Villa vs. Tottenham prediction, we believe he will score the next goal. Historically, the odds also favor Villa. The last direct home matchup was won 2-0, and generally, there have been no draws in the past 21 league encounters—an indication of decisive match outcomes.
Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, recently sent a small signal after their narrow 1-0 win over Wolverhampton ended a streak of 15 winless matches against the Wolves. Nevertheless, consistency remains an issue: Six losses in their last ten league matches against Aston Villa underscore that this matchup has been a tough one for the Spurs in recent years.
Another win, however, would mark a small turnaround, as it would be the first time since the first two games of the season—back then wins against Burnley (3-0) and Manchester City (2-0)—that Tottenham could win two Premier League matches in a row. Offensively, Richarlison has been particularly efficient, with nine goals and four assists, averaging a solid 0.72 goal contributions per 90 minutes.
