Tottenham vs Aston Villa prediction

THE FORECAST

Both teams are in a deep attacking crisis: Tottenham scored zero goals in four matches while Villa averages only 0.3 goals per game, which makes an extremely low-scoring match virtually certain. Villa's injury list is downright dramatic with the absence of Watkins, Martínez, Goretzka, Cash, Maatsen and Torres (thirteen absentees in total), which means the quality gap compared to Tottenham at home is just enough to justify a narrow home win. The weather conditions are mild and are not a determining factor, but the result will most likely be decided by one goal given the structural defensive solidity of both teams (Tottenham two clean sheets in four matches).
