Bet 1: Aston Villa +1 Handicap – 4/5
Life after Postecoglou at Tottenham is looking pretty sweet right now. Third in the league, second-best defence and the most points of any team away from home. But peel back the façade, and you’ve got a team that have scored 13 goals from 7.5 expected goals (xG). That’s a massive overperformance and one that’s not sustainable long term.
Home form is starting to become an issue. Incredibly, Spurs have won just three games from their last 17 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and have picked up four points from a possible nine thus far this season. No ever-present side in the league have lost more home games (10) or earned fewer points (13) since November 2024. These are alarming numbers.
Unai Emery seems to finally be getting a tune out of his Villa side. They’ve won four on the trot in all competitions, and a win on Sunday would see them move to within two points of Spurs in the league. They’re a dangerous team after the international break, winning eight of their last 10 in such matches, including an away win at Spurs in November 2023.
Odds of 4/5 on the +1 handicap are too big to turn down for a team on the up, playing against one that are potentially overperforming.
Bet 2: Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist – 13/10
It’s not a massive surprise to see that Villa’s recent results have come on the back of a return to some form for Ollie Watkins. He finally got on the scoresheet against Fulham in September and followed that up with a goal for England last week in a 3-0 win over Wales.
What’s been most impressive is that he’s looking sharp again. Regardless of how he plays, he’ll always have those workmanlike qualities, and he’s willing to press harder than most to fit into Emery’s high-intensity system. But he’s at his best when timing runs between the CB and FB, linking up as part of a third man in attack and generally being a menace in the transition.
He's got a good record against Spurs with five goal involvements, four of those coming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It’s time to kick on for Watkins, and 13/10 for a goal or assist looks a great value bet as part of the bet builder.
Bet 3: Mohammed Kudus Over 0.5 Shots on Target – 1/1 (Evens)
Even money on over 0.5 shots on target for Kudus looks a steal. He scored the winner last time out against Leeds and has probably been Spurs’ player of the season so far. His ability to beat a man makes him incredibly exciting, and he leads the league in completed dribbles (30), causing havoc in the process.
A maverick? Maybe. But he’ll justify that hefty £55 million price tag, of that we’ve no doubt. In terms of shots on target this season, he’s five from five in the league, with four in his last two games. Kudus is starting to add end product to the highlight reel, and even money for over 0.5 shots won’t be around for much longer.
