Aston Villa vs. West Ham: Unpredictability
Aston Villa impressed by beating Brighton 6-1 at home, then Unai Emery earned a 1-1 draw at Wolves. It wasn’t an easy game for Ollie Watkins and his teammates.

However, center-back Pau Torres put his name on the scoresheet, helping Aston Villa leave with one point.
After the match against Zrinsjki Mostar in the Europa Conference League, within the framework of the European C3 Cup, the English team won, but only with a minimum score.

A bit in favor of the home team, the prediction for the Aston Villa vs. West Ham showdown is that Aston Villa will be determined to take three points to continue their impressive form at home.

Aston Villa’s attack is playing very well; in the last seven matches in all competitions, they have scored goals. Barring Everton’s elimination from the League Cup in September, Aston Villa have turned Villa Park into an impregnable fortress.
According to statistics, Aston Villa have had a great streak with 10 consecutive victories in the Premier League at home. Before beating Brighton 6-1 this season, Unai Emery and his players had wins over Everton (4-0) and Crystal Palace (3-1) at home. It is clear that hosts Aston Villa want to continue to assert their strength and prove why they rank among the top five teams in the Premier League this season by beating West Ham.
Analysis of the scoring record of two teams
It should be remembered that both of Aston Villa’s Premier League defeats this season have occurred at opposing grounds (1-5 in Newcastle and 0-3 in Livepool). Meanwhile, at Villa Park, coach Emery has won all five matches in the Premier League and Europa League. This, therefore, presents a huge opportunity for Aston Villa to end an 11-game winless streak against West Ham.
On the other hand, West Ham have also performed very well this season. They used the proceeds from the sale of Declan Rice intelligently and upgraded all three lines. Players such as James Ward-Prowse, Mohammed Kudus, and Edson Alvarez quickly integrated into the new team.
Before the international series, West Ham had a resilient 2-2 draw with Newcastle. This result helped them increase their unbeaten streak to 4, including 3 victories. So far, after 11 matches this season, West Ham have only lost 2 matches and won 7 victories, a very impressive achievement.
West Ham’s attack is going very smoothly, as they have scored in every game this season. Even the London team has the record for scoring in the last 15 matches on all playing fields. Currently, West Ham only has 14 points after 8 games, only 2 points behind Aston Villa. It is noteworthy that their form away from home is very good, winning 4 out of the last 5 matches.
In addition, West Ham also overwhelmed Aston Villa in terms of head-to-head records. In their last 11 encounters on all stages, they have not lost to the hosts at Villa Park. Even in the last three visits at Villa Park, West Ham also won. Maintaining this string of successes gives David Moyes’ men confidence, and he believes they can replicate excellent results from the past when they face Aston Villa at the moment.
Nicolo Zaniolo has been withdrawn from Italy’s national team training camp for his involvement in a football bet. However, Aston Villa have yet to react to the incident, and it is possible that the player will be called up to the matchday squad ahead of the match against West Ham. Emiliano Buendia and Tyrone Mings have a long time to recover and return to the pitch, while Jacob Ramsey is yet to play due to an ankle injury. Left-back Alex Moreno has struggled to recover from a thigh injury, and manager Emery has confirmed that he is not ready to play. Emiliano Martinez, Jhon Duran, and Leon Bailey have only just returned from a long flight but are likely to start from the start. Manager David Moys also needs to take a close look at the situation of Edson Alvarez and Michail Antonio after they played for the national team in October.
