Aston Villa vs Tottenham prediction and betting tips on March 10, 2024
The forthcoming match at Villa Park in Birmingham will inaugurate the Sunday matchday within the framework of the 28th round of the English Premier League, featuring the local Aston Villa and the London-based Tottenham. The pundits at Dailysports have prepared a prognosis for this encounter.
Aston Villa
The Villans are having a remarkable season and rightly contend for a spot in the Champions League. Last Saturday, Aston Villa contested an away match against Luton, securing a victory with a scoreline of 3:2. While leading 2:0 during the game, the Lions allowed Luton to equalize in the middle of the second half. The victory was sealed for Unai Emery's squad by a precise strike from Luca Digne a minute before the end of regular time. This triumph marked the third consecutive win for the Claret and Blue Army in the Premier League. Additionally, on Thursday, the Villans played a draw in Amsterdam against Ajax in the Europa League playoffs (0:0).
Tottenham
Under the guidance of Angelos Postecoglou, Tottenham stands as the primary pursuers of Aston Villa in the league table. Currently, the Spurs trail by five points but possess a game in hand. In the previous matchday, Tottenham hosted Crystal Palace and, conceding first in the 59th minute, managed to clinch a spirited victory with a score of 3:1. It's worth noting that the Londoners are yet to display consistent results, as this victory, although being their third in the last five fixtures, was interspersed with setbacks such as a draw against Everton and a home defeat to Wolverhampton.
