Aston Villa vs West Ham: Preview, free tip and statistics

30.10.2021 16:00

Sunday's tenth round of England's top football competition will conclude with Aston Villa's home game against visiting West Ham.

Background information, news and team form

Aston Villa lost their talisman and their captain in the summer in the form of Jack Grealish, who moved to Manchester City for 117.5 million euros. Aston Villa, however, were not lazy and reinvested the money made from Jack's sale into summer reinforcements. For example, Jamaican winger Leon Bailey, who has been on the radar of European big clubs for a long time, came to Villa Park, or a very experienced striker from the English Premier League - Danny Ings from Southampton, or the creator of the game and the best passer of last season in Norwich - Argentine, Emiliano Buendia. Aston Villa finished in 11th place in their debut season, far from the relegation places, and fans were thus hoping for a possible assault on the cup position this season after the resounding summer signings. Unfortunately for Villains fans, Aston Villa's performances have been very erratic this season and they have not picked up a single point from their last three Premier League games. Aston Villa is now in thirteenth place with 10 points and with an eye on the schedule that awaits the Birmingham Lions in December, they need to improve their performances dramatically and pick up some points in November. West Ham, on the other hand, is experiencing one of their best seasons in years. West Ham has been a traditional participant of the Premier League for many years and usually ranked higher in the table, but in recent years the owners do not want to spend so much on new reinforcements, and that is why West Ham failed to reach the European Cup for several years in a row. With the arrival of David Moyes, however, the situation has changed and after a great last season, when the club occupied even the places guaranteeing a Champions League place for several months, they won the Europa League. Moyes received more transfer money from the board for his great performances and in the summer the Hammers' sparse squad was thinned out by some big names. West Ham has made a great start to this season too. They have 3 wins in the Europa League and are top of the Europa League group table. In the league, West Ham is in great fourth place with 17 points and making company, such giants as Liverpool or Chelsea. Fans can therefore be very happy with the progress of the season so far.

Visiting West Ham go into this match as odds-on favourites at odds of 2.52. A draw is available with bookmakers at odds of 3.40, and if you want to back the home Villains to win, odds of 2.85 are available on them. The goal line, for this match, is listed at over 2.5. Both teams expanded their squads in the summer and should be among the best the English Premier League has to offer. Both teams will be looking to pick up points, and the value for this game lies with the away side without a draw.

 

 

Absentees and probable line-ups 

Aston Villa will see the return of goalkeeper Martinez, who has travelled to Argentina for personal reasons. Villains, however, will continue to miss a trio of players: Morgan Sanson, Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Trezeguet due to long-term injuries.
