Football Results

Tottenham played well in the English Premier League in which it won the fourth place, while Aston Villa earned promotion after going through the play-off in the Championship. The two team met the last time in the FA Cup 2017 and then Tottenham won by 2-0.

Tottenham

Tottenham had a successful season that will be remembered for a long time, primarily because of its first ever final of the Champions League. No one had seen them that far in the strongest football competition in Europe but Tottenham surprised everyone; it played for the title but lost to Liverpool. Their fans will remember for a long time the way how they eliminated Ajax in the semi-finals, while regardin the championship they ended up in the fourth place, which means they will again play in the Champions League. Rumours announced numerous transfers to and from Tottenham but midfielder Ndombele is on the only newcomer so far and he will be the starter right away. They have many problems with absences and we will single out injury of Dele Alls and suspension of Son.

Probable lineups Tottenham: Lloris – Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, D. Rose – Ndombele, Winks, Sissoko – Lamela – H. Kane, L. Moura

Aston Villa

Aston Villa was finally able to return to the English first league after three years of absence. They didn’t easily return as they had to go through the promotion play-off after the regular season in which they won Derby County in a decisive match at Wembley. There were ups and downs throughout the season but they are here with numerous reinforcements that came this summer. No one had such shopping spree as the team from Birmingham and there are rookies at all positions. Such situation require time to turn number of players unknown to each other into a compact  team. Most of new players will play right away.

Probable lineups Aston Villa: Heaton – Guilbert, Engels, Mings, Targett – McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish – Jota, El Ghazi – Wesley

Verdict:

Clearly, Tottenham is a great favourite to win but individually Aston Villa has a pretty good team that is capable to surprise. Perhaps they cannot win this difficult away match but we believe that the guests can score at least one goal.

Pick: Both teams to score 2.05 - 105/100 @1XBet
