West Ham vs Aston Villa Match Preview and Prediction
West Ham vs Aston Villa: In their last three Premier League games, West Ham have scored nine goals. Villa has conceded two goals or more in four of the previous five league games. Jarrod Bowen has scored 14 goals in 27 league games this season, making him the top-scoring Hammer.
The final Premier League match before the international break will feature a match between West Ham and Aston Villa. At London Stadium on Sunday afternoon in Matchday No. 29, the two teams in the top half will face off. On Thursday night, both teams played in their respective European matches.
Seven days ago, West Ham managed to stave off a loss to Burnley at home. It is impossible to consider a 2-2 draw against the league’s bottom team at home as a victory for David Moyes’ squad, though. On this occasion, we saw the well-known defensive flaws in West Ham once more.
Last Saturday, Aston Villa’s performance was even worse. Seven days ago, Unai Emery’s team lost badly to direct rivals 0–4 at home in the fight for a top-four finish. Last Sunday, Spurs proved to be too strong for Villa’s high line as they defeated the Villains 4-1 in a row.
