Tottenham suffered a surprising 0:1 loss as a guest to Crystal Palace in the last round. At least on Wednesday, they achieved a good 2:1 victory at home against Manchester City in the cup. They have six wins and one loss in seven home matches this season and are definitely strong at home, where they play quite aggressively, but this sometimes brings a lot of risks, and Aston Villa is a team that knows how to take advantage of that.
Aston Villa is still undefeated as a guest this seasonAston Villa is ahead in the standings, but dropped out of the cup tournament during the week. However, they also use a lot of rotations, unlike Tottenham, leading to a 1:2 home loss to Crystal Palace. It was at home that Villa suffered their other loss this season, against Arsenal. All of Villa's away games so far have had over 2.5 goals, with five wins and one draw from their six visits in all competitions.
Prediction: X2 double chance, both teams to score: YESTottenham achieved a good victory during the week, but they also invested a lot more effort and key players than Aston Villa in their cup match. The guests are currently in better form than their opponents and I think they are capable of taking advantage of the breakthroughs that I expect Tottenham to have at times. Goals, however, are the leading option and there are definitely prerequisites to see them in both nets.
