Aston Villa is hosting Tottenham Hotspur today at 16:30 (UTC). Tottenham Hotspur is the favorite, at least according to the bookmakers. They give the coefficient 2.245 for the victory of the hosts.

A 2-1 defeat at Wolves last weekend means Aston Villa have lost three on the trot and have dropped into the bottom half of the table as a result. The Villans have been poor at home recently, winning just one of their last six, and have a dire home record against Tottenham. Three successive wins has seen Spurs move back up into fourth as we head into the business end of the season. Antonio Conte's side are now one of the favourites to finish in the Champions League spots, but they sit level on points with north London rivals Arsenal, who have a game in hand on Spurs and welcome Brighton to the Emirates earlier in the day. Villa seem to be labouring towards the end of the campaign, and with more at stake, Spurs should earn another huge three points on Saturday.
