Aston Villa vs West Ham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 26th January 2025

Bookmakers favour The Villans to win against The Irons in their next Premier League match. This takes place this coming Sunday with the hosts in decent form, and a win seems quite likely. Naturally, The Hammers will put up a fight at the Villa Park, though.

Ranked as number 8 in the Premier League standings, Aston Villa, have so far collected 36 points this season, while West Ham collected 26 points. This puts them up as number 14 after 22 rounds.

Aston Villa took down West Ham in their most recent meeting, and bookmakers deem another win for the home side a likely scenario on Sunday.

Aston Villa are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 14 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.4 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 15 goals, or an average of 1.5 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

The Irons are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.2 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 24 goals, and while West Ham claimed one clean sheets, they conceded an average of 2.4 goals per match.

The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, The Villans came away with a 1-2 win. They have a similar outcome in mind at Villa Park, but face stern opposition, of course.

Aston Villa vs West Ham Prediction

Aston Villa Form

They came away from their last three matches with a mix of results, as Aston Villa beat Everton 0-1, followed by a 2-2 draw against Arsenal. Most recently, they were left licking their wounds in a 1-0 defeat against Monaco. Aston Villa managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, where they also drew twice and lost none. They scored 12 goals and conceded seven times.

West Ham Form

It is all or nothing with West Ham, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 2-1 against Aston Villa, before beating Fulham 3-2. Unable to build on that, they lost 0-2 against Crystal Palace. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, West Ham won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying 11 goals conceded and six scored.

Aston Villa have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt West Ham are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Villa Park, as we aim for the home win.

Aston Villa scored 22 goals and conceded 15 in their last 12 games against teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. They collected 27 points and eight victories. West Ham claimed two wins and nine points from their last 12 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League, while scoring 13 goals to 30 against.
