Match preview

Tottenham Hotspur host Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League on 16 September 2025. Tottenham Hotspur sit 16th on 8 points and Villarreal are 34th on 1. Tottenham Hotspur have won 3 of their last 4 (WWLW), while Villarreal have won 1 of 3 (WDL). There is no recent head-to-head record between these sides in our data. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
