Aston Villa vs Tottenham – Match Preview

Aston Villa vs Tottenham
Sunday 16th February 2020

FA Premier League, Villa Park.

Live on Sky Sports Premier League. Kick-off: 14:00 GMT

Aston Villa will host Tottenham in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon after a well-deserved two-week winter break.

The hosts find themselves deep in the relegation battle in their first season back in the topflight. They are currently 17th – just one point from the drop zone. The visitors are avidly hunting down a Champions League spot as Jose Mourinho’s influence is having a positive effect on the pitch.

Aston Villa are priced at 3/1 by SkyBet to win the match and pull off a huge victory at home in their bid to survive relegation. Villa suffered another setback in their last outing against Bournemouth as they slipped further into the battle for survival. They are a side that have fight and quality in talisman Jack Grealish.

New signing Mbwana Samata got on the scoresheet on his debut and is priced at 12/5 to score anytime and make an instant impact at Villa Park.

Tottenham are priced at 4/5 to win the match and build from their impressive victory last time out. Spurs are in great form across all competitions and most recently in the Premier League, they beat Manchester City 2-0. New signing Steven Bergwijn got on the score sheet as Mourinho’s side looked a force in attack.

Son Heung-Min has filled the injured Harry Kane’s boots well and is priced at 6/4 to score anytime. He will likely start up front.

Last time these two met earlier in the season, just one card was brandished late on in the game. However, Aston Villa have averaged 19.4 booking points per match this season and Tottenham have averaged 24.6 booking points.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 14:00.

Prediction:  Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham

– It will be a tight match but with both teams well rested, Spurs’ qualities will outshine those of the fighting Villains.

Hull City vs Swansea City – Match Preview

The Championship, KCOM Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Hull City will host Swansea City in SkyBet Championship action this Friday night.

Neither team are enjoying their finest run of form at this time. Hull have lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions and will be checking their shoulder as they slip down the table. Meanwhile, Swansea City are without a win in four league matches and can feel their play-off hopes sliding through their fingers.

Hull City are priced at 9/5 to win the match by SkyBet and turn their recent poor showings around. It’s no coincidence that their season has turned upside down in January with the losses of Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki. They are struggling for goals and were hammered 3-0 by Blackburn in their last outing.

Josh Magennis will be the hosts biggest threat to the Swansea defence and is priced at 23/10 to score anytime.

Swansea City are priced at 11/8 to win the match away from home, where they have been strong this season. The Swans are stalling in their bid for play-offs as they became frustrated again as QPR held them to a 0-0 draw at home in midweek. Steve Cooper’s side are lacking cutting edge, despite a positive transfer window.

One of the players brought in was Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster. The striker has impressed in SA1 and chipped in with a couple goals. He is priced at 9/5 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be David Webb. The official has been one of the most lenient and has averaged just 27.6 booking points from his 17 second division matches in charge.

Hull City vs Swansea City will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Hull City 1-3 Swansea City 

– Whilst both teams are in bad form, Swansea will be able to impose their attacking prowess and quality.

Suggested Tips – Hull City vs Swansea City – (BET 365)

  • Anytime Goalscorer – Rhian Brewster – (link no longer available).

Millwall vs Fulham – Match Preview

Millwall will host Fulham in SkyBet Championship action this Wednesday night-time.

The Lions are winless in their last three league outings but still have their sights set on a potential play-off push. They are currently tenth in the league standings. Meanwhile, Fulham are back in the race for automatic promotion. The Cottagers are unbeaten in five in the league.

Millwall are priced at 2/1 by SkyBet to win the match and build their play-off bid with an impressive victory. Gary Rowett has made Millwall a real force to be reckoned with, but they’re struggling to get a run of results together. However, they have won three of their last four home Championship matches.

Going forward, Jed Wallace has been in fine form with ten goals and nine assists to his name. He is priced at 23/10 to score anytime.

Fulham are priced at a very tempting 7/5 to win the match as they hunt down Leeds and West Brom for a place in the Premier League. Scott Parker’s side have hit form at the right time – whilst West Brom and Leeds have been struggling. They are great at keeping possession and are now utilising their star striker.

Aleksander Mitrovic has scored in both of his last two matches to take his season’s tally to 20 goals. He is priced at 6/4 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Andy Madley. The official has really not been shy when reaching for his pocket this season and has an average of 51.7 booking points from his six second division matches in charge.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Millwall 1-2 Fulham

– It will be a tough match but the visitors attacking prowess will find them that moment of magic.

Suggested Tips – Millwall vs Fulham – (BET 365)
