Aston Villa vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday night, the fifth matchday of the Premier League at Villa Park will be rounded off when the promoted player receives an opponent with whom a volatile story is linked. So both teams traditionally play in wine red jerseys with sky blue sleeves, white pants and sky blue neck.
An equally famous and extraordinary color scheme, which was first used by the Villans, before several clubs were preparing to copy it. Among other things, the Irons in 1903, although denied by the London club until today, they have imitated the Lions.
No wonder, then, that this catchy color scheme occasionally causes discussions on and off the pitch when these two traditional clubs clash.
It is the 111th duel between Aston Villa against West Ham, according to odds of bookmakers almost completely balanced.
It plays at Aston Villa Vs. West Ham accounted for the Irons’ latest series, which remained unbeaten in the following four games after their 1-0 defeat by Manchester City and their last three matches all won.
The Villans meanwhile stand after a win and three defeats on a relegation zone and must necessarily score in the Villa Park.
Aston Villa:
After the defeats against Tottenham and Bournemouth the climber was in the 2-0 victory in the last home game against Everton FC actually returned to the top class. There, where the traditional club belongs somewhere. Finally, Aston Villa is one of only five English clubs that could win the Europe Cup of Champions (1982).
In addition, the Claret & Blue Army in titles (20 national titles) is the fourth most successful club in England, although most trophies were fetched before the Second World War and the last title in the comparatively small League Cup goes back to 1996.
Speaking of the League Cup, Villa recently celebrated a 6-1 away win in the second round of the fourth division club Crewe Alexandra. The many new arrivals seemed to have arrived and several players burst the knot.
However, just four days later, the next shock came in the Premier League: 0-1 at Crystal Palace in a highly controversial game that has accompanied the Villans over the international break. Thus, Aston Villa is even after the first results of the fifth matchday on a direct relegation zone and is damned against the Hammers points.
Certainly not the claim of the riser, this summer converted by the sheer amount of 150 million euros in transfer fees, to make the squad again competitive. Here, the same investment was made in all parts of the team.
Whether Tom Heaton was fetched for the goal, Tyrone Mings, Matt Targett and Ezri Konsa for the defense, Douglas Luiz and Marvelous Nakamba for the midfield or Anwar El Ghazi and Wesley for the attack.
A restructured team, which definitely takes time to be formed into a functional unit, but which has recently flashed through its class. Coach Dean Smith pointed out that the defense of the guests from London is their weak point. Possibly a psychological game, so that the Hammers take a little distance from the attacking football so far?
Finally, Coach Dean Smith with the suspended Trezeguet missing an important option on the offensive. The Egyptian had gone against Crystal Palace with yellow-red and probably should be represented by Anwar El Ghazi.
West Ham:
That the offensive of the Hammers is feared by Villa coach Dean Smith, is certainly not surprising. With playmaker Pablo Formas and the attackers around ex-Dortmunder Andrii Yarmolenko, ex-Frankfurt Sébastian Haller and Felipe Anderson, who came on ten goals in the preseason and thus became the key player of the Irons, the Londoner traditional club is finally well positioned ,
In general, the tenth of the preseason but not to hide. After all, Manuel Pellegrini has had a coach in his hands for more than a year, who knows exactly what is important in the Premier League.
In 2014, the Chilean finally won the championship with Manchester City. Now he had been able to use another transfer window successfully to get the players who matched his idea of football.
Remarkably, players like Chicharito, Marko Arnautovic and Pedro Obiang, who should be sorted out, could even be sold at a profit, so the hammer is doing well economically.
All the bigger was the setback on Matchday 1, when at home at London Stadium they played a 0-5 clap against reigning Manchester City champions.
However, West Ham United has not been impressed. The subsequent four competitive matches were all not lost. Recently, there were even three victories in a row for the Irons to book that climbed into the top half of the table and could climb in the event of an away win at Villa Park even on a starting place for the international show business.
At Aston Villa against West Ham, the odds of the bookmakers even beat in the direction of the Hammers, who bring with them the huge advantage to Birmingham of having almost the entire squad together.
Only Winston Reid, who only plays a reserve role in central defense anyway, and Mikhail Antonio are injured due to injury. For players like Sébastian Haller are already 100% embarked.
The former Frankfurter has already been able to network three times in three games for his new club and now hopes to be staged again accordingly in the Villa Park.
