The over 2.5 sits near even money and both teams to score around 59%, which reads generous for two attacks that cannot buy a goal. Spurs have not scored in the Premier League in four straight matches for the first time since September 2006, and Villa arrived 19th with one point and one goal from four games. The counterweight is history, since none of the last 22 league meetings between these two ended in a draw and Villa have won four of their last five visits. Team news matters more than usual here. If Spurs finally find a finisher, the goals markets snap up, and if the goalless funk holds, the unders are live.
