Aston Villa v West Ham betting form

Aston Villa come into this clash in rather stuttering league form having won just one of their last 7 games in the Premier League.

Having taken just taken five points from a possible last 21, Unai Emery’s men have slipped to fourth in the table and now face a battle to ensure they finish in the Champions League spots.

In Europe however, the Villains have fared much better, winning 1-0 and 2-0 away and home respectively against Lille, to advance to the Europa League last eight – where they are favourites to win the competition at 11/5. Who do Aston Villa face in the Europa League quarter finals? That’s Bologna with the first leg away from home on Thursday 9th April.

West Ham, by contrast to Aston Villa, have seen a real upturn in league form in recent weeks with just two defeats in their last nine Premier League outings.

15 points from a possible 27 has now given the Hammers a fighting chance of beating the dreaded drop, even though they go into this weekend’s fixtures still in the bottom three, level with Nottingham Forest on 29 points but with an inferior goal difference, and just a point behind Tottenham Hotspur.

Who will get relegated from the Premier League? The Spreadex Sports odds have Wolves and Burnley both at 1/500 but the remaining third spot is then very tightly contested with West Ham currently slight favourites at 8/5, Nottingham Forest at 15/8 and Tottenham priced 13/5. The Spreadex Premier League Points Predictions have both West Ham and Nottingham Forest ending on between 38.75 – 39.75 with Tottenham a shade higher at 39.5 – 40.5.

Aston Villa v West Ham football spread betting prices.

The Spreadex Sports spread betting Goal Supremacy price has Aston Villa/West Ham 0.45 – 0.65.

This means a buy at 0.65 would need Villa to win by at least a goal to start turning a profit.

For example a buy at 0.65 would return 0.35 x your stake on a one goal Villa win, 1.35 x your stake on a two goal Villa win, 2.35 x your stake on a three goal Villa win and so on.

For sellers at 0.45, you would win 0.45 x your stake if the match ended as a draw, 1.45 x your stake on a one goal West Ham win, 2.45 x your stake on a two goal West Ham win etc.

Our spread betting Total Goals market is priced at 2.8 - 3. Here you would need at least four goals to be scored in the game to start turning a profit on a 'buy'. E.g. a ‘buy’ at 3 would return a profit of 1 x your stake on four total goals, 2 x your stake if five goals were scored in the game etc. For a ‘sell’ at 2.8, you would need two goals or fewer to be scored to turn a profit. E.g. two goals in the game would return 0.8 x your stake, one goals in the game would return 1.8 x your stake and goalless draw would return 2.8 x your stake.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a Total Goals 'buy' at 3 would lose 3 x your stake if the match ended 0-0, would lose 2 x your stake if only one goal was scored and would lose 1 x your stake if two goals were scored.

In the Supremacy ‘buy’ example at 0.65 above, if the game ended as a draw you would lose 0.65 x your stake, if West Ham won by a goal you would lose 1.65 x your stake, if West Ham won by two goals you would lose 2.65 x your stake, if West Ham won by three goals you would lose 3.65 x your stake and so on.

In the 0.45 'sell' Supremacy example above, if Aston Villa won by one goal then the bet would lose 0.55 x your stake, if Villa won by two goals then it would lose 1.55 x your stake, if Villa won by three goals then it would lose 2.55 x your stake, if Villa won by four goals it would lose 3.55 x your stake etc.
