Aston Villa 1-1 West Ham

Current streaks

Recent form

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a decent run of three consecutive wins across all competitions before their last two matches. Despite sitting 8th in the league table, the Villans have been involved in some exciting, high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their attack has been relatively consistent, scoring in five out of six matches and averaging 1.5 goals per game. However, their defence has been less solid, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. The team's ability to find the net has been crucial, as both teams have scored in two-thirds of their recent matches. Villa's Champions League loss to AS Monaco broke their unbeaten run, but their overall form suggests they are a competitive side capable of challenging for a higher league position.

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find stability in their performances. The Hammers have endured a challenging run, losing three consecutive matches before securing a narrow victory against Fulham. Their defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding 15 goals in their last six games, including a 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool and a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City. These high-scoring encounters have contributed to 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 14th position in the league, West Ham have managed only one clean sheet in their last six outings, highlighting their defensive struggles. The team's goal-scoring record has also been modest, averaging just one goal per game during this period, which has undoubtedly contributed to their mixed results.
