It’s hard to say for sure because for really good teams, failure acts as an additional motivator. Aston Villa are consistently good (for their status) and for example last year they finished 7th while Tottenham 8th. In the upcoming game, Tottenham have the status of favorites, but their advantage is tiny and can only be attributed to the fact that Tottenham is playing at home:
2.32 - 3.80 - 2.82
I think Tottenham are still on track, despite suffering two consecutive defeats, first to Chelsea and second to Wolves. I am quite surprised by Wolves performance when they meet big teams, luck is always on their side. If you look closely, Ange squad is going through a hurricane of injuries at the moment, I think this will affect the course of the game. Aston Villa are indeed tough this season, it has been proven that they are able to secure 25 points and are one level below Spurs at the moment. However, I am inclined that Ange and her squad will get the perfect points in this match, especially playing in front of their own supporters.
Son and colleagues will pay for their home defeat to the Blues yesterday, and want their place back at the top of the standings.
Son got injured and is out until around January, so Spurs have additional complications. An extremely unpleasant event (including because Son is in my fantasy team and now I am forced to look for a replacement), but still I hope that Tottenham will win against Aston Villa, at least the bookmakers have not changed the quotes yet.
