Predicted Score
1 - 1
Aston Villa, despite sitting 4th, have hit a poor run of form (1 win in 5), struggling defensively and in attack. West Ham are fighting relegation but have lost only 1 of their last 5 and recently held Man City. Villa's home record is strong overall, but recent home form is patchy. West Ham's away record is weak but they have shown resilience lately. Both teams have a tendency to concede, and recent H2H meetings have been competitive and often close. Expect a tight, tense match with few clear chances and a high probability of a draw or narrow win either way.
