*Odds correct as of 18th September, 2026 | 07:19
Rodrigo Bentancur over 1.5 fouls
The 29-year-old seems to have taken on the mantle as Roberto De Zerbi’s midfield enforcer this term and Bentancur has won more tackles per 90 (2.19) than any of his teammates since the start of August, while he also ranks second for average duels won per game (4.50).
That much skirmishing invariably leads to fouls, and no Tottenham player has given away more free kicks (8) in the Premier League than Bentancur so far this season. The Uruguayan international has featured in six matches for Spurs in league and cup since the summer overall, and he conceded 2+ free kicks in all but one of those outings.

Boubacar Kamara over 1.5 fouls
Like Bentancur for Spurs, Kamara has been throwing his weight around in midfield for Aston Villa this term, and the Frenchman tops the pile at the club for total fouls committed (7) and average duels won per game (5.50) in the Premier League.
Kamara will be patrolling the same midfield waters as some bristly Tottenham counterparts on Saturday, so the potential for fouls to be won and conceded in that zone feels high.
John McGinn over 0.5 shots
Villa captain McGinn was a real menace against Coventry in the Carabao Cup in midweek, registering three shots in his club’s 3-1 triumph over City. That was the second time in three appearances where the Scot racked up three efforts at goal, having done the same against Club Brugge in the Champions League a week ago.
In the Premier League, McGinn got a shot away in three of his first four starts of the campaign, while the 31-year-old also cleared over 0.5 shots in each of his two appearances against Tottenham last season.
Emiliano Buendia over 0.5 shots on target
Buendia was unable to find the target with any of his first six Premier League shots of the campaign, however, the Argentine always seems to raise his game against Tottenham, and his record against the Londoners could give him the confidence to improve his accuracy.
The 30-year-old faced Spurs three times last season and managed to score on each occasion, netting home and away against Tottenham in the league, and again against the same opponents in the FA Cup. Indeed, Buendía has had more career combined goals and assists (4) in the Premier League against Tottenham than any other team. We aren’t even chasing goals here, just a single effort on target from Buendia against a side he thrives against will suffice.
Emiliano Buendia's Record Against Tottenham
Tottenham to get the most cards
As we touched on above, Tottenham met Aston Villa three times last season on two domestic fronts and Spurs collected more cards than the Villans on each occasion, running up an aggregate card count of 10-4 overall.
As the home side on Saturday, the pressure will be on Spurs to perform following their dismal start to the season, while they will also be desperate to enter the upcoming international break on the back of a win to stop the negativity from spiralling. That should mean that Tottenham play with heightened energy and aggression against Villa, and we expect that to be reflected in the final card count.
