Villa v West Ham Betting Brisk Ahead of Vital Encounter

Aston Villa take on West Ham at Villa Park on Sunday hoping to regain the form that at one time this season saw them in third place in the Premier League. However two defeats on the trot at the hands of Arsenal and Liverpool exposed flaws in the midlanders make-up who have now slipped down to sixth position.

That said they are still massive favourites to win the match with odds of 4/7 with the Hammers given only a 5/1 chance of coming away with all three points, the draw is an 11/4 option; these odds are available from Ladbrokes.

Villa looked in good form when beating Blackburn in the Carling Cup on Thursday night at Ewood Park, in James Milner they have a player who is at the top of his game and looking every bit an England World Cup player. He scored a great goal and we think that the 3/1 odds about him scoring in this match from Paddy Power are well worth taking.

West Ham sit one place above the relegation zone and need points desperately, they started the season off badly and have yet to improve and will feel that they must get something from this match. There is no doubt that they are capable, but with only win away from home this season it is difficult to see how they can upset a very efficient Villa team.

We therefore take Villa to win the match and expect them to win it comfortably by at least a two goal margin. We like the look of the following odds from Ladbrokes:

Villa win 2-0 – 6/1
Villa win 2-1 – 8/1
Villa win 3-1 – 10/1.
