<p>Champions League chasing Aston Villa welcome the hapless Tottenham to Villa Park for an English Premier League clash in the early hours of Saturday morning (04:30AM, AEST).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>League Position &amp; Current Form&nbsp;</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The top five teams in the Premier League qualify for next season’s Champions League, with Aston Villa currently sat sixth – but only behind fifth-placed Chelsea on goal difference.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Villans have recorded back-to-back victories over Bournemouth and Fulham, both by a 1-0 scoreline, so they will entertain Spurs on Saturday with confidence aplenty.&nbsp;</p> <p>There’s a very real chance that Tottenham could finish 17th in the Premier League this term, only one position above the relegation zone. Their head coach, Ange Postecoglou, is hoping his side can win the Europa League final and save their season.&nbsp;</p> <p>Their Premier League form remains dismal. You have to go back to April 6 for their last league win, which came against the now-relegated Southampton.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ironically, when the two teams last met in November, Tottenham ran out 4-1 winners… but much has changed since then, with Postecoglou also likely to protect his key players ahead of that continental final with Manchester United on May 22.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the four meetings since Unai Emery and Postecoglou took up their respective managerial positions, Villa have won twice – both by a 2-1 scoreline – while a pair of Spurs victories have come with a final score of 4-0 and 4-1.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Aston Villa vs Tottenham Betting Odds&nbsp;</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Aston Villa have won five of their last six Premier League games, whereas Tottenham have lost four of their last five.&nbsp;</p> <p>Therefore, the home side are a strong favourite at odds of $1.33, with Spurs the considerable underdogs at $7.50. <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league/aston-villa-v-tottenham-9186373">The draw can be backed at $5.50</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Aston Villa vs Spurs Betting Tips&nbsp;</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So poor have Tottenham been defensively – conceding 14 goals in their last five Premier League games, and so motivated are Aston Villa to win with their Champions League hopes in the balance, nothing but a home victory can be predicted here.&nbsp;</p> <p>As such, there’s even scope in backing Villa to win with a -1.5 handicap at odds of $1.90&nbsp;</p> <p>What’s more, Villa have beaten the likes of Southampton (3-0) and Newcastle United (4-1) by comfortable margins within recent weeks, too. Should Postecoglou make changes to his regular starting eleven with one eye on that Europa League showdown, the Villans could coast home here.&nbsp;</p> <p>For an alternative angle, take a look at the Specials on offer at Sportsbet and you’ll find the Winning Margin category: Villa to win by exactly two goals at $3.94 is a bet that could get up.</p> <p>Aston Villa have only lost one of their 18 home matches played this term in the EPL, while Tottenham’s form on the road – W5 D2 L11 – reveals their away day blues.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Backing&nbsp; Villa to win by a 2-0 correct score at odds of 8.00 has legs, particularly with Spurs’ eyes on the Europa League final.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>*Odds correct at 3:09pm 15/5/25 AEST&nbsp;</p>
