Aston Villa is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 matches with 1 loss in that span. When playing at home, they have been much better in those matches as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their 6 matches this season across all competitions. They have also won all 3 of their home matches in the Premier League this season, scoring 13 goals in those 3 matches while only allowing 2 goals. They are going up against a West Ham side that has also been in good form recently but they have not been as good in their recent Premier League matches as they are starting to play a more condensed schedule with more competitions now. They have actually lost 2 of their last 4 EPL matches with only 1 win in that span. Aston Villa has been on the rise in the Premier League since hiring Unai Emery last season and in that span they have been one of the best home teams in the league as they are really taking advantage of their opportunities at home. Aston Villa has a very potent attack that is going to find the net on this West Ham defense while West Ham struggles to score goals against this very good Aston Villa defense at home. Aston Villa will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
