The match finished 1-2 to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur won the match 2-1.
The match took place on Sunday, 3 May 2026.
Tottenham won 2-1 at Villa Park, a result that cost our model. We had backed Aston Villa at 56 percent probability, but the visitors' superior form in this fixture proved decisive. Villa's recent record showed promise with one win in five, yet Spurs' attacking threat materialised despite their inconsistent league form. The match stayed competitive throughout, though Tottenham's clinical finishing in the end separated the sides. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The defeat dropped Aston Villa to 5th place with mounting pressure on their defensive record. Tottenham climbed from 17th, gaining 3 points to improve their position marginally. Our model flagged Spurs' inconsistency; their 2W-1D-2L record suggested vulnerability despite this result. Villa's home form deteriorated further after the Fulham loss.
