Tottenham vs Aston Villa Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive odds for all FA Cup matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds are accurate as of the publishing time of the article. Make sure to check the latest odds before placing a bet.
1X2 Odds
| Tottenham (1) | X | Aston Villa (2) |
| 11/8 | 9/4 | 17/11 |
In the 1X2 football betting market, you can back one out of three possible results:
- 1: Home win (Tottenham)
- X: Draw
- 2: Away win (Aston Villa)
Let’s take a look at the Tottenham vs Aston Villa betting odds in the 1X2 market: Tottenham has 11/8 odds for a win, Aston Villa has 17/11 odds, and a draw has 9/4 odds.
In fractional odds, the numerator is the expected return and the denominator is the bet amount. This means a bet on the Spurs returns £11 for every £8 wagered if they win. Similarly, successful bets on Villa return £17 for every £11, and a draw returns £9 for every £4. Your stake is also returned upon a successful bet.
Upon simplifying the fractions, bets on the Spurs pay £1.4 per pound, and bets on Villa pay £1.5 per pound, which is roughly the same. This means bookmakers see both teams as evenly matched in this fixture. The Spurs won the Europa Cup earlier this year, while Aston Villa is in a solid position in the Premier League this season.
However, bettors should note that the odds are simply based on probability. Match results are unpredictable, so don’t rely just on the odds. Analyze their recent results and form before placing your bets. You can also opt for safer markets like Double Chance, Draw No Bet, or Handicap to lower your risk.
Double Chance
| Tottenham or Draw | Tottenham or Aston Villa | Draw or Aston Villa |
| 4/9 | 2/7 | 8/17 |
Since both appear to be evenly matched, a Double Chance bet is a better alternative to 1X2. This market increases your chances of winning by covering two outcomes in a single bet:
- Spurs or Draw (1X): This bet loses if Aston Villa win.
- Spurs or Aston Villa (12): It loses in the case of a draw.
- Draw or Aston Villa (X2): It loses if Tottenham win.
1X2 gives you 33% win probability, while Double Chance gives 66%. Opt for this market if you believe predicting the match winner is difficult. However, bettors should note that the returns in Double Chance are lower compared to 1X2. When the possibility of an outcome increases, bookmakers lower the odds.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Tottenham (-0.5) | Aston Villa (+0.5) |
| 15/11 | 12/25 |
Aston Villa won the last two head-to-head fixtures. Let’s say you want to bet on Tottenham but are not sure if they will be able to win this time. In this scenario, you can award them an advantage called a “handicap”. This means a fixed number of points chosen by you will be added to their total, and the same number will be subtracted from Villa. For example, with a handicap of +1, a final score of 0–1 will be adjusted as 1–0. So, bets on the Spurs win with this handicap even if they lose the match.
However, be careful when selecting the handicap, as the outcome of the bet depends on the goal margin. For this fixture, only one handicap is available at 7bet: +0.5 for Villa and -0.5 for Tottenham. This means bets on Villa win in the case of a draw.
Fans can also pick Handicap 1X2, which combines two markets. For example, a 1–0 handicap means the starting score is considered to be 1–0, giving a one goal headstart to Tottenham. You can pick three starting scores for this fixture: 1–0, 0–1, or 0–2.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 4/6 | 21/20 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a relatively safer bet for cautious bettors as it considers only one aspect of the game: whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match. Here’s how you can bet:
- BTTS Yes: This means both teams will score at least once. If the score is at least 1–1 or higher, BTTS Yes bets win.
- BTTS No: Either or both teams will fail to score. This means there will be a zero in the score, like 1–0, 0–0, 2–0, or 0–1.
In their last 10 matches, Tottenham have missed scoring once, while Villa have scored in every match during the same period. Use this data to lower your risk when looking at the Tottenham vs Aston Villa odds in the BTTS market.
You can also consider their clean sheets (when the opposition team’s score is zero). More clean sheets indicate a strong defense and a higher win probability for BTTS No bets. Tottenham kept four clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Villa kept one.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 4/5 | 17/20 |
Predict whether the total goals scored in this match will be over or under your chosen number. For example, the betting line is set at 2.5 goals. If the final score looks like 2–1, the combined total becomes three, and Over 2.5 bets win.
Here’s how you can pick:
- Over 2.5 Goals: Any total of three or above wins in this bet. So, scores like 2–1, 2–2, or 1–2 win.
- Under 2.5 Goals: Any total under two, like 2–0, 0–0, 0–2, 1–1, wins in this bet.
Spurs averaged 1.4 goals per match in their last 10 games, and Aston Villa averaged 2.2. This brings their combined goal total to 3.6, which is over the 2.5 betting line. Use this data when looking at the Tottenham vs Aston Villa odds in the Over/Under market.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score | Tottenham vs Aston Villa Odds |
| 0–0 | 9/1 |
| 1–0 | 7/1 |
| 1–1 | 14/3 |
| 0–1 | 15/2 |
| 2–0 | 11/1 |
| 0–2 | 12/1 |
| 2–2 | 11/1 |
| 2–1 | 15/2 |
| 1–2 | 8/1 |
In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the exact final score. The Tottenham vs Aston Villa odds in the correct score market are long, meaning they yield high returns. However, fans should note that odds are inversely related to the outcome. When an outcome is expected, the odds are short, and when the outcome is considered less likely, the odds are long.
This makes it a difficult market to bet on as it requires making a precise prediction. Wager only small amounts here to lower your risk.
