Betting odds, tip & prediction for Tottenham Hotspurs – Aston Villa ➔ Premier League, Wednesday, 19.05.2021 at 19:00.
Five clubs, two places and only two matchdays left – in the Premier League, the fight for the Champions League will go on until the bitter end! Two teams from the capital are also in the draw.
On Wednesday (19:00) in North London, the aim is to secure the Europa League for the time being. Will they succeed? Read in my Tottenham Aston Villa tip why I think the hosts have a good chance.
Royal League, Europa League or dreary mid-table – for Tottenham Hotspurs, different variants of the season finale are conceivable. Spurs will end a changeable season.
The chance of winning the Champions League is minimal; with a five-point gap, two rivals would have to slip up. Admittedly, this scenario is not all that likely. More realistic is reaching the Europa League.
West Ham are level on points, Everton are three points behind. Tottenham must not drop any more points. The two remaining opponents are Aston Villa and Leicester – so caution is advised here.
As mixed as the season has been, Spurs can still rely on their home form. Six of the last seven games at home have been won, only against Manchester United they lost 1:3.
In those six victories, the north Londoners have also conceded just two goals. Only champions Manchester City have celebrated more victories at home. The Citizens, on the back of conceding one goal, are also the only team with a better defensive record.
Spurs know that only a win counts on Wednesday. Harry Kane will therefore be the centre of attention and not just in sporting terms. The captain has signalled: He wants to leave. Not all fans expected this shock news.

Nobody is more important than the Englishman. Whenever he has been involved in a goal (a total of 22 goals and 13 assists), his team has also scored. Of course, he also scored in the first leg against Aston Villa.
Since 2014, there has been only one direct encounter in which Kane did not score. It is clear that bettors have a goal bet in mind here. Bet365 offers 1.50 for this.
For a long time, Aston Villa had also flirted with participation in European business, but the team could not maintain this level. Only two of the last twelve games were won, and the Villans have been without a treble for three games.
It is mainly the loss of points against the smaller teams that makes the European Cup impossible. A few days ago they lost 3-2 to Crystal Palace to top it off.
Aston Villa celebrated victories against Liverpool and Leicester right at the start of the season, but those performances are now long in the past. There has also been a decline away from home, with one win from the last five games.
With Sheffield, Newcastle and Crystal Palace, there were also weak teams among the opponents. What also strikes me, however, is that the Villans have never been beaten away from home.
A 0:2 defeat against Manchester City was the only defeat that was significant. So the Villans almost always keep up well, but too rarely score trebles in recent months. If anyone can spring a surprise on Wednesday, it’s probably Ollie Watkins.
The striker has already scored against Everton, City and Liverpool. But Watkins has never scored against Tottenham. A look at the direct comparison is also interesting. It shows why the football betting companies do not bet on Aston Villa.
Twelve of the last 13 games have gone to Tottenham, and the Villans have only managed one win in the last twelve and a half years. Since 2012, there has only been one match in which Tottenham have managed less than at least two goals.
