West Ham goes out against Aston Villa on Saturday in a match from the Premier League.
The Hammers have had a rough season, struggling for survival just like the last season when Zola was a manager of the team. Currently West Ham is taking the 18th spot with 32 points, a home record of W5 D4 L7, scoring 22 goals and conceding 25 in those games. The team has recorded 2 wins in the past 3 home fixtures. Before the loss against Manchester United with 2:4, a game where the Hammers lead 2:0, but allowed the Red Devils to reverse the game, the team had 2 consecutive home victories against, Liverpool with 3:1 and against Stoke City with 3:0. The team scored 8 goals in those 3 game and conceded 5, where 4 where in the game with United.
Aston Villa has also had a rough season since Martin O’Neill left the club. The team recorded only 2 victories in the last 8 Premier league games, and is currently taking the 14th spot with 37 points, only 5 away from West Ham and the danger zone. The team’s away record reads W2 D5 L9, scoring 17 goals and conceding 36 in those games. Aston Villa won their most recent game, which was at home against Newcastle with 1:0.
On Upton Park, Aston Villa has a record of W3 D8 L4. The team has lost only 2 of the last 11 visits here, won one and has tied 8. Earlier this year, Aston Villa won the home game on Villa Park with 3:0.
Only six out of the fifteen games here have ended without both teams being able to score at least a goal.
Despite the overwhelming amount of draw games here, West Ham is a favorite in this game. The team has done very well in the past 3 home games, despite the loss to Manchester United. Villa isn’t in optimal shape this season, and logically is taking a place in the lower half of the table.
I am willing to back West Ham in this match, since the team needs points in order to save itself from the place they are currently at. A possible draw here will favor Aston Villa more, than West Ham, and this is why I am passing on it. My prediction, West Ham to win this game. Good luck betting.
