West Ham vs Aston Villa Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Nella Wagah in Premier League Predictions
West Ham United and Aston Villa enter a season of high expectations as the two clash on the Premier League opening weekend. Managed by two top Spanish tacticians, who will win this battle at the London Stadium? Read on for our preview and prediction of the match scheduled for Saturday 17th August at the London Stadium.
It is a new era at hosts West Ham United, as Julen Lopetegui gets his start, having replaced David Moyes. The expectation from home fans will be to see their team back in Europe after a dismal 2023/24 season.
That will form Lopetegui’s side of the pressure, while at Aston Villa Unai Emery has the additional responsibility of the Champions League to think of. Much of these can be eased by a winning start for either manager.
West Ham United haven't won any of these two sides’ last three meetings but they remain the dominant ones in this fixture.

West Ham - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
Julen Lopetegui is back in the Premier League after his short but promising stint with Wolves. He replaces David Moyes who led West Ham United through an underwhelming campaign. The Hammers won as many as they lost last season (14) in the league and had the poorest goal difference in the top half.
That run also saw them finish eight points out of European slots, having won the Conference League title the previous season. Lopetegui is faced with a restructuring at the team and stars might be aligned well for him in London.
West Ham haven't lost to Villa in nine league games at home. Also, in the last 12 meetings between these sides, West Ham only lost once. However, with only two wins in 11 league games to close last season, there’s a genuine cause to be worried.
West Ham United haven't lost a home game against Aston Villa since 2011.
Aston Villa are this season faced with the challenge of balancing the Champions League and Premier League demands. They should take a hint from Newcastle United’s failures last season, but with an experienced coach, they should do well.
That is a focus for the future; at the moment the plan is to down their hosts. This fixture hasn’t favored Villa a lot in recent times but they come here unbeaten in the last three. Sandwiching their 4-1 win at Villa Park last season were two 1-1 draws.
Emery at Aston Villa has not lost to West Ham United, collecting four points in 2023/24. He will be looking to lift his team from the poor finish last season. The Villans failed to win any of their final six matches in all competitions.

West Ham & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
West Ham United have invested heavily in defence, perhaps informed by their poor performance in that department last season.
Lopetegui has gone for the tried and tested Max Kilman, who played under him at Wolves. With a hefty price paid for the defender, we expect him to start. Jean-Clare Todibo is another new defender who might get a start alongside Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who recently signed from Manchester United.
We also expect to see new forwards Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug play a part.
In anticipation of a demanding season, both clubs have invested well in their playing units.
Aston Villa are also dealing with key changes in the playing unit.
Midfielder Douglas Luiz left for Juventus and Moussa Diaby for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
However, there were incomings, with the biggest being that of Belgian international Amadou Onana from Everton. Ross Barkley and Jaden Philogene are back at the club for second stints and could earn starts here.
After making a big-money move from Chelsea, left-back Ian Maatsen should also be in line for a place in the first eleven.
West Ham - Aston Villa Key Points

- West Ham won just two of their final 11 league matches last season.

Our West Ham vs Aston Villa Prediction
Aston Villa have a poor away run at West Ham United. In their last nine visits they failed to conjure a win, the best being five draws. Apart from their away form against West Ham United, Villa generally haven't won a lot of their matches against The Irons.
That, coupled with a poor finish last season, will not augur well with their expectations. West Ham aren’t on a great run either. Their finish last season was poor and most of their closing home league matches ended in draws. Our prediction for West Ham United v Aston Villa is for a draw.
West Ham vs Aston Villa - Other Interesting Predictions
Over 3.5 goals
Each of West Ham United’s last five matches in the league produced at least four goals. In three of those, they scored two or more. Villa too, had high scoring matches to close their league season. Four of the last five produced over 3.5 goals.
The corresponding fixture last season had five goals scored and we have reason to back a high-scoring game. Our second prediction for West Ham United v Aston Villa is for the game to have over 3.5 goals.
