Aston Villa vs West Ham - 28/08/2022
11575
There are three games to be played in the English Premier League on the 28th of August including the meeting between Aston Villa and West Ham United.
The match will be played at Villa Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 13th place on 3 points while the visitors are bottom of the table without a point to their name.
Aston Villa come into the match on the back of a 4-1 win at Bolton Wanderers in the League Cup.
It looked like being another tough night at the office for Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa went 1-0 down in the 24th minute but his players responded well to score 4 unanswered goals and progress to the next round.
However, it has been a disappointing start to the Premier League season for Aston Villa. They recorded a 2-1 home win over Everton but have lost at Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.
The most recent defeat was at the hands of Crystal Palace last week and having opened the scoring after only 5 minutes, Aston Villa conceded 3 goals, two of which came in the second half.
Trends show Aston Villa are on a poor run of just 1 win in their 7 most recent Premier League matches. They are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 home league games but have recorded just 3 wins from their last 12 home Premier League fixtures.
West Ham United travel to Villa Park having beat Viborg 3-0 away from home in the Europa Conference League playoffs on Thursday night. The Hammers were 3-1 up from the first leg and made no mistake in Denmark, comfortable securing their passage into the group stages of the competition.
West Ham United have won 2 matches this season but they have both come in the Europa Conference League. They have yet to pick up a point in the Premier League and have suffered defeats at home to Manchester City and Brighton plus away to Nottingham Forest.
A defeat to Manchester City is nothing to worry about but the losses at Nottingham Forest and at home against Brighton give some cause for concern.
Trends show West Ham United have lost each of their last 4 Premier League fixtures. They have won only 1 of their last 10 Premier League matches.
Team news and Aston Villa are without defender Diego Carlos until early next year and have doubts over the fitness of Kortney Hause.
West Ham United could be at full strength but have doubts over the fitness of Vladimir Coufal, Craig Dawson, and Nayef Aguerd.
Despite it being early in the season, this is a big game both teams. Aston Villa will want to build on their home win over Everton and considering their recent league form, West Ham United could be the perfect opponent.
We expect to see Aston Villa come out on top in this game and keep a clean sheet in the process.
