Preview

Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, are chasing back-to-back Champions League qualification and currently sit 6th on the table, just a point behind the top four. Their form has been inconsistent lately, but they will count on their solid home record to carry them over the line.

With big names like Ollie Watkins, Marco Asensio, and John McGinn, Villa will look to dominate possession and create scoring chances. Emery’s side has had defensive vulnerabilities, but with Spurs likely to field a rotated squad, Villa will feel confident.

On the flip side, Tottenham Hotspur are juggling their Europa League final preparation and Premier League closure. Ange Postecoglou may rest his key players for the European final, which opens the door for youngsters like Tel and Odobert to showcase their talent.

Spurs have been patchy in their last few league games, and injuries to James Maddison and key rotations could leave them exposed. This match is vital for Villa, while Spurs might treat it as a chance to rotate and rebuild momentum for Europe.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Match Winner – Aston Villa

Aston Villa are expected to take full advantage of Tottenham’s squad rotation and secure a crucial win at Villa Park. The Midlands side will be desperate to secure Champions League football, and facing a second-string Spurs lineup increases their chances significantly.

With Ollie Watkins in good form and Asensio’s creativity in midfield, Villa could control the game and edge past a vulnerable Tottenham backline. Meanwhile, Spurs might struggle to match the intensity with key players likely rested for the Europa League final.
