Under 3.5 Goals 4/11
The recent pattern points low. Only 0 per cent of Tottenham Hotspur’s last 4 cleared 3.5 goals, Aston Villa sit at 25 per cent, and the two have kept 3 clean sheets between them across the window. The recent numbers have this landing more often than 4/11 allows for, and that margin is why the leg is here.

Tottenham Hotspur to win 1/1
Tottenham Hotspur come in 0-2-2 from their last 4 in all competitions, Aston Villa 0-1-3: this pick leans on the match-up rather than the form table. The venue split is part of that case: no wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in front of their own crowd. Tottenham Hotspur drew 0-0 with Everton on Saturday. There is no hidden value at 1/1; it is simply the right call for how this fixture shapes up.

Both teams to score: No 11/10
One clean sheet looks likelier than none here. BTTS has missed in 100 per cent of Tottenham Hotspur’s last 4 and 75 per cent of Aston Villa’s, and the sides have drawn a blank 7 times between them in the window. 11/10 reads a shade generous against the recent record, which is exactly what we want from a builder leg.
