Tottenham vs Aston Villa – Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips – 10.08.2019
| Starting the new league season at home for just the sixth time since 2000/01 (W2, D3), Tottenham Hotspur have won an astounding 20 of their last 21 Premier League (PL) home games against newcomers. The most common winning scoreline in that sequence was ‘1-0’, being produced seven times (35% of the time) across Tottenham’s 20 victories therein. |
| However, if the hosts are to suffer a ‘false start’, it is worth noting that their last three PL goals conceded on home turf (against all opponents) have come between the 61st-75th minute. |
| Shouldering ‘newly-promoted’ status for the first time since 1988/89, Aston Villa travel here knowing that they are massive underdogs. Recent PL H2H meetings underline this, with four of the last six seeing the ‘Villans’ fall to defeat after a first half lost to-nil. |
| Even so, Villa may be able to draw upon the unbeaten run of six away games (W5, D1) that ended their regular Championship season. Two-thirds (four) of those matches saw Villa concede first with both teams scoring. |
| Players to watch: Harry Kane has netted precisely once in three of Tottenham’s last four PL home games against newly-promoted opponents, scoring the first or last goal of the day each time. |
| Brazilian striker Wesley Moraes could debut as Villa’s marquee £22m signing. He scored ten goals in the Belgian regular 2018/19 league season, with three of his last five competitive goals being headers. |
| Stat attack: ‘3-1 to Tottenham’ (in August 2000) was the result when the ‘Lilywhites’ last hosted a newly-promoted side on PL gameweek one. |
| Five of Tottenham’s last six PL home wins over newly-promoted opponents have yielded a clean sheet. |
| Villa’s last seven Championship away goals of 2018/19 came in the second half. |
