Tottenham vs. Aston Villa EPL Preview
De Zerbi Becoming Restless As Spurs Struggle in Final Third
Another challenging season could await Tottenham, as the North London club come into the final round of matches before the September international break sitting 17th in the Premier League standings. Spurs are yet to score a goal in the league this season, and they have picked up just two points from a possible 12.
Last weekend’s 0-0 draw against Everton indicated their struggles in the final third, as Tottenham had 63% of the ball, but they could only manage two shots on target. Spurs aren’t creating enough chances to get goals, as represented by an xG of 1.44. However, it should also be noted that defensive improvement has been made, as Tottenham have kept clean sheets in 50% of their fixtures.
Mohammed Kudus will likely be handed a start this weekend, while more will be expected of big-money signings Savio and Omar Marmoush, with neither having yet scored in the EPL for their new team.
Likely Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Kinsky (GK); Porro, van Hecke, van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Tonali; Savio, Kudus, Marmoush; Solanke
Villa Struggling After a Summer Overhaul
Aston Villa haven’t fared much better than Tottenham this season, but Unai Emery’s side did at least end their wait for a first league goal of the season in last weekend’s 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.
Villa have picked up just a single point from the opening four rounds of fixtures, and defensive improvement will be required after shipping seven goals in the opening month of the campaign. Nicolas Jackson will lead the line after scoring in a recent Champions League win against Club Brugge.
Pau Torres will be recalled on Saturday after Tyrone Mings struggled to deal with the physical presence of Liam Delap in the recent loss against the Tricky Trees. Like Spurs, Villa’s main issue in the final third has been in terms of chance creation, as Emery’s side have averaged a league-low xG of 0.91.
Likely Lineup:
(4-2-3-1) Suzuki (GK); Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen; Kamara, Manzambi; Mbaye, Buendia, McGinn; Jackson
Head-to-Head Stats
- Aston Villa have won four of their previous five against Tottenham, with their only defeat coming in a 2-1 loss in the latest encounter.
- Villa have recorded successive away wins against Spurs, scoring four goals.
- BTTS has been a winning selection in five of the last six head-to-heads.
Tottenham vs. Aston Villa EPL Picks
It is incredibly hard to trust either of these sides based on the difficulties that both have endured in the opening month of the season. However, it would take a brave punter to take Tottenham at short odds based on their tameness in the final third of the field.
Therefore, Villa could be an interesting approach due to their counterattacking prowess. It is also notable that the visitors have won four of the previous five head-to-heads, which includes away wins in the last two.
