- Aston Villa have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Tottenham Hotspur has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (4) in Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a FA Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Marine, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Tottenham Hotspur.
Aston Villa form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Aston Villa are 3-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).
The Villa crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-4 to Liverpool here at Villa Park in a FA Cup match. Heartbreak before that as Aston Villa lost 1-2 at Manchester United's place.
Aston Villa's goalkeeper Ákos Ónodi was extremely busy against Liverpool, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Villa, as the Premier League home game vs Everton is only three days away.
Goals decide football matches and Aston Villa are scoring many of them at home; 15 on target from 7 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Tottenham Hotspur form and stats
Playing away, Tottenham Hotspur have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Premier League this season.
Spurs play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-0 victory visiting Marine. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Brentford in the Carabao Cup.
As you can tell from the results above, Spurs was very dominant against Marine, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Alfie Devine, Carlos Vinícius (3) and Lucas Moura providing the goals. Carlos Vinícius certainly enjoyed Tottenham Hotspur's last game versus Marine, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-0 victory.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tottenham Hotspur manager J. dos Santos Mourinho as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sheffield United.
Spurs have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 16 goals from 8 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - zero - nine (Villa wins - draws - Tottenham Hotspur wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
