Form Guides

Aston Villa Form Guide

Aston Villa are having another positive season under the tutelage of Head Coach Unai Emery, and following their sixth finish last season, they’re on course for an even stronger finish. With eight games remaining, they sit in fourth place, two clear of Liverpool and three ahead of Chelsea . In the Europa League, they’ve been exceptional too and have a quarter-final with Bologna to look forward to next month.

Despite their positive form on the whole, particularly in Europe . More recently, their form has taken a downturn in the Premier League following three consecutive defeats coming against Man United , Chelsea , and Wolves . Which, interestingly, may be a return to their statistical performance with their Expected Points position per UnderStat putting them as only the thirteenth best-performing side.

Ahead of this weekend, Unai Emery has a strong record when managing against West Ham United from nine encounters; he’s come out the winning side five times, he’s had three draws, and the sole defeat came when he lost 1-0 while managing Arsenal in the 18/19 season.

West Ham United Form Guide

West Ham United picked up another positive point on their quest for survival last weekend when they held Man City to a 1-1 draw at London Stadium. That was made all the more crucial because each of the bottom seven sides picked up a point in their last league fixture. The weekend is another opportunity to climb the table, though, and depending on results elsewhere, a win could bring The Hammers up to fifteenth in the table.

The Hammers come into this fixture as one of the in-form sides in the Premier League since their 1-2 victory over Tottenham on the 17th of January; they’ve accumulated fifteen points from nine league games. That line of form has them sixth in the form table and only three points less than Man Cit y during the same time period.

Head Coach Nuno Espírito Santo heads into this fixture with a solid record of five wins, one draw and six defeats from his twelve encounters against Aston Villa, which translates into 1.33 points per game, and a draw in this game could be enough to see his side climb out of the relegation zone.

Key Players To Watch

Key Players To Watch

Morgan Rogers - Aston Villa

The difference-maker for The Villains , across his thirty league games this season, he has scored eight times and assisted five goals. In fact, his eight league goals, five of which have put them ahead, and three have levelled the game. His physical intensity and elite dribbling ability make him a constant threat to opposing defences.

Jarrod Bowen - West Ham United

The West Ham United Captain is playing at the top of his game and has been involved in seven goals in his last eight Premier League games (two goals, five assists), providing an assist in each of his last three. Come the weekend, he will be the go-to man again for The Hammers, and you’d be foolish to rule him out of delivering.

Aston Villa v West Ham United Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham United

Aston Villa haven’t had the best of times domestically of late, but retain their quality and will take momentum from their midweek Europa League win.

West Ham United can take a huge step in their battle for safety this weekend, depending on results elsewhere, a win could see them climb up to fifteenth position.

Two sides fighting for points but on different fronts, I fancy the away side here though, given their stronger league consistency more recently.
