• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 18.03.2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: London Stadium (London)

Both teams approach this Premier League match fresh off impressive wins in European competitions and advancement to the subsequent rounds.

West Ham triumphed over Freiburg with a 5-0 victory and secured a spot in the Europa League quarterfinals with an overall score of 5-1. This accomplishment is significant for the club as it presents an opportunity to potentially participate in the Champions League if they win this trophy. Despite their placement in the Premier League, the London-based club doesn’t have a strong likelihood of qualifying for European competitions. This is merely a theoretical possibility.

Following a crushing defeat to their Champions League placement rival, Tottenham, with a score of 0-4 in Birmingham, Aston Villa made a significant comeback by demolishing the renowned Ajax on the same field with an identical score. This victory deserved them a place in the quarterfinals of the Conference League. However, their current focus is on securing their position in the Premier League, which is significantly more important at the moment. Aston Villa is just 2 points ahead of Tottenham and currently holds the 4th place.

West Ham vs Aston Villa pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

These teams, whose quality is slightly under top-tier league teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, promise to deliver quite an exciting match.

In the initial part of the season, Aston Villa secured a 4-1 victory at home. However, the Birmingham club hasn’t been very successful in this stadium, as they haven’t won any matches here since 2011, in their last 8 attempts.

In the last four face-offs in London, both teams managed to score at least one goal.

We anticipate a game with goals from both sides as these teams are highly skilled and can effortlessly generate opportunities. We expect each team to score at least once.
