Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Prediction and Betting Tips | January 1, 2023

Tottenham Hotspur will host Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (New Year's Day) in the Premier League, looking to return to winning ways.

Spurs resumed their top-flight campaign on Boxing Day with a 2-2 draw against Brentford, fighting back from a two-goal deficit in the second half. Vitaly Janelt and Ivan Toney scored apiece in either half for the Bees, who were comfortably 2-0 up by the 54th minute.

However, Antonio Conte's side revived themselves soon after and found their way back into the game through Harry Kane, five minutes after the hour mark.

In the 71st minute, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equalised for Tottenham as the visitors snatched a point from the jaws of a defeat.

With 30 points in 16 games, the north London side remain in fourth place, three adrift of high-flying Newcastle United and one ahead of Manchester United, who have a game in hand.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool at home on Monday that kept them in 12th place in the standings with 18 points. It was their second defeat in four games but Unai Emery's first loss in charge of the club.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa Prediction

Tottenham are the favourites here, but their defence has been sloppy in recent weeks. Villa have some potent attacking weapons such as Ollie Watkins who could hurt them.

However, with Kane and Son Heung-Min leading the Spurs line once more, the hosts should prevail, albeit narrowly.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Aston Villa
