Aston Villa

WLLLWW

Aston Villa come into this match following on from a 1-0 Premier League win with the eclipse of Crystal Palace in their most recent outing.

In that match, Aston Villa managed 58% possession and 8 shots on goal with 1 on target. Crystal Palace got 3 shots at goal with 0 on target. Joachim Andersen (27' Own goal) scored for Crystal Palace.

Illustrating their appetite for eventful encounters, we’ve seen goals 20 times in the prior 6 games in which Aston Villa have taken to the pitch, giving a mean average of 3.33 goals each fixture. Opposition teams have hit 11 of those goals. Having said that, it remains to be seen whether the trend will be sustained here in this game.

Going into this one, Aston Villa haven't won against West Ham United when having played them away from home in the previous 7 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.

↔️ Head to head

Looking over past results between these clubs going back to 26/07/2020 reveals that these encounters have not been kind to Aston Villa. They have not managed to come away with any wins at all whereas West Ham United have been too good for them, running out winners in 83% of those games where they have faced each other.

A total of 18 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 13 from The Hammers and 5 for The Villans. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.

📰 Team News: West Ham United

It looks as if The Hammers will possibly employ a 4-3-3 formation, utilising Alphonse Areola, Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma, Naif Aguerd, Emerson, Lucas Paqueta, Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, Jarrod Bowen, Danny Ings and Said Benrahma.

ℹ️ Team News: Aston Villa

Owing to a fully injury-free group to pick from, the Aston Villa boss Unai Emery doesn’t have any fitness worries to report ahead of this game.

It’s our belief that The Villans could decide to play in a 4-4-2 system, settling for Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne, John McGinn, Calum Chambers, Douglas Luiz, Jacob Ramsey, Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Aston Villa might have a difficult job to score goals against this West Ham United lineup who we reckon will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We therefore see a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for West Ham United when the referee blows for full-time.

There should be little in it.
