Aston Villa vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Kennedy Kechula | in Premier League Predictions
Aston Villa are set to return to English Premier League action after European engagements in midweek and will host off-color West Ham United next. They enter this match sitting in eighth place in the standings after 22 games and are 10 points clear of West Ham United, who arrive in 14th place.
Both teams have had consistency issues in their most recent fixtures, but it is Villa who are heavily favoured to bag the three points on offer here. Unai Emery's side has a strong recent record against their soon-to-be visitors and have also fared much better this season.
This match will mark the 110th meeting between these teams. If the favorites are picked based on stability, West Ham United will head into the game as underdogs and recent changes in coaching haven't helped much. Read on for our preview of the match and two predictions of the likely outcome.

Aston Villa - West Ham: Form Analysis
Aston Villa are coming off a 1-0 defeat away to Monaco in the Champions League. The loss left them in danger of missing out on direct qualification into the round of 16 in Europe’s premier club competition.
Unai Emery's men haven’t won in two outings, as before the trip to France, they had played out a two-all draw with Arsenal. That come-from-behind stalemate ended a run of three successive victories.
Villa have amassed 36 points after winning 10 and drawing six of their 22 fixtures. With their dominance against West Ham this season, they will be confident of getting back to winning ways here.
Villa have won both meetings with the London club 2-1. The most recent battle came earlier in the month in the FA Cup.
Aston Villa are unbeaten in five matches against West Ham United.
West Ham do not have any European engagements and have had much time to prepare for this fixture. They will hope to have covered every aspect as they seek a big performance to spark a season turnaround.
The Hammers have toiled on the wrong end of the table, a situation that cost head coach Julen Lopetegui his job. They have won just seven games and have been defeated 10 times. With 26 points, the visitors find themselves 10 points from the drop zone.
West Ham, who replaced Lopetegui with former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, have lost four times in their last five. They were defeated 2-0 last time out at home by Crystal Palace.

Aston Villa & West Ham Squad Analysis
Aston Villa are going through an injury crisis. Ross Barkley, Amadou Onana and Pau Torres are unavailable. John McGinn, however, is likely to return for West Ham’s visit and end a four-match absence due to a thigh injury.
Ollie Watkins was on target against Arsenal last weekend and should be picked once again to lead the line ahead of Jhon Duran. The two have scored a combined 17 goals between them in the league.
Injury-ravaged West Ham are forced to look at makeshift attackers.
West Ham are also going through an injury crisis in their striking department. Mikail Antonio, Niclas Fullkrug and Jarrod Bowen are nowhere close to being available.
The absence of the trio has forced the club to keep an eye on new additions in the current winter transfer window.
Mohammed Kudus, who has netted three league goals, is likely to step up in a striking role, supported by Lucas Paqueta. Paqueta has six goals for the Londoners and was on target in the FA Cup tie two weeks ago.
