- Date: 19/10/2025
- Kick-off: 2:00pm
- Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, North London
Tottenham enter this game in 3rd place in the Premier League, with 14 points from seven games. Spurs have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign under Thomas Frank in terms of results, even if performances have been unconvincing at times.
Tottenham come into this game unbeaten in their last seven games, with three draws from their last five outings. Both teams have scored in four of their last five games in all competitions, while over 2.5 goals have also been scored in four of their last five.
In terms of expected goals and expected goals against, Tottenham rank as a middling side in the league, with an average of 1.31xG per game and 1.32xGA per game in the league. It's still early days, but there are reasons to be sceptical of Spurs long-term, even if results have been good.
Aston Villa are currently 13th in the Premier League with nine points from 13 games. After a slow start to the campaign, Villa are picking up a head of steam as they come into this matchup with four wins from their last four games in all competitions. Wins against Burnley (2-1), Feyenoord (2-0), Fulham (3-1), and Bologna (1-0) put the team in good shape ahead of this clash, in what will be a tough game.
Recent matchups have been pretty even between the two teams, with Villa winning three of the last five head-to-head meetings, while Tottenham have won two. Games between these sides are rarely short on goals, with four of the last five meetings seeing over 2.5 goals scored and three of the last five seeing both sides score.
Ultimately, Villa's good form of late puts them in pole position to get a good result at a tough venue, and while three points will be hard to come by, they have more than enough to avoid defeat here.
Tottenham 2-2 Aston Villa
