Aston Villa vs West Ham predictions: Hammers can get up and running (LiveScore)

Aston Villa and West Ham appear to both be in need of a victory ahead of their Premier League clash at Villa Park on Sunday.

Only four clubs have conceded more goals than Villa in the opening three games and they appear to be struggling in the absence of summer addition Carlos. The Hammers have been hugely disappointing and they make the trip to Villa Park sitting at the bottom of the standings and without a point or goal to their name. West Ham are seeking their first win and first goal of the 2022-23 Premier League season when they head to Aston Villa on Sunday.

Aston Villa vs West Ham: Match Preview | Premier League 2022/23 (Premier League News Now)

West Ham United make the trip from London to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa on Sunday.

West Ham United cruised to a 3-0 win in the midweek in which new striker Gianluca Scamacca started, and the Italian could very well be in line to start his very first Premier League game on Sunday. West Ham United are a side struggling for goals and creativity currently, with the Irons failing to score a single goal in their three games so far. He finished his chance beautifully, and his runs throughout the game were the only threat to the Palace defense. It remains to see if Moyes tweaks his system slightly to partner the Italian with Michail Antonio or starts his new striker and benches Antonio. It goes without saying that the Irons will need to work very hard, and will also need to keep things tight at the back. He ended the game with two assists to his name, and followed that performance up with a goal against Crystal Palace last weekend. [Lucas Paqueta](https://premierleaguenewsnow.com/lucas-paqueta-to-arsenal-transfer-analysis/), and will be hoping that the addition of a quality player as him will help get things back on track.

Aston Villa and West Ham United face off on Sunday, with both teams looking to end their sloppy start to the season.

Both teams are misfiring at the moment, and taking the pressure into account, the Hammers will be more desperate to secure a positive result on Sunday. West Ham could have a better overall squad than Villa, which may come in handy on Sunday. There could be a change up top, with Gianluca Scamacca making his case to the manager after two goals in as many starts. West Ham did qualify for the Europa Conference League beating Viborg over two legs, as Moyes will be hopeful of replicating their European form in the domestic league. They are expected to be assessed before the game, although Moyes may not take the risk and look to involve them again when they host Spurs on the next matchday. The Hammers have been terrible since the campaign began and endured a chastening loss to Brighton last weekend.

West Ham vs. Aston Villa prediction: Back the underdogs (New York Post)

West Ham travels to Aston Villa on Sunday, August 28. Here are the odds, predictions, and best bets for the Premier League matchup.

It sounds weird to say because they haven’t scored yet, but there doesn’t seem to be much wrong with the West Ham attack. Ogbonna won’t magically turn things around for a unit that’s allowed five goals on 5.3 expected goals (xG) through three games, but things should start to get better. AZ, CT, IA, IL, LA, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, WV, WY only. AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY only. The past two seasons under David Moyes have brought back an era of good feelings in East London, but they’re now staring down the possibility of an 0-0-4 (W-D-L) start as they’re slight underdogs to Aston Villa on Sunday. What’s more concerning is Villa’s pedestrian start is part of a bigger trend that goes back to last season.

Aston Villa vs. West Ham United Betting Preview: Premier League ... (The Action Network)

Anthony Dabbundo gives his detailed thoughts, plus his top pick, for Sunday's Premier League match between Aston Villa and West Ham United.

There will be spots I’ll look to buy low on West Ham in the future, but this price isn’t good enough. Moyes’ side will score goals at some point, as they haven’t netted from 3.2 xG to date, but this is a trend line of regression that dates back to last season when West Ham was the most efficient EPL finishing team. That may change in the future with Lucas Paqueta coming into the midfield, but he won’t play in this match. West Ham managed to finish seventh last season, but the trend line on manager David Moyes’ side is quite discouraging if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Based on ball control and possession numbers, Villa had the better numbers last season when compared to West Ham. The Villans have also conceded more goals than you’d expect from a Gerrard side, but a lot of that has to do with variance more than bad defending.

That said, if they can’t snap out of this early-season malaise then their hopes of qualifying for Europe for a third-straight campaign could soon be a pipe dream.

Kehrer caugh too far forward and Villa break down the left. I think that is part of it. That near-goal has given the hosts a lift. A counter then ensued but Emerson's cross was blocked. Emerson could make his debut against Villa, after signing the Italian international from Chelsea for £13million earlier this week. David Moyes’ side will be boosted by the return of Declan Rice.

Aston Villa vs West Ham: Irons get bounce, Villans deflection dejection (NBC Sports)

David Moyes' West Ham had lost three matches to start the season and looked second-best for the first half-hour or so at Villa Park.

Nayef Aguerd, West Ham’s marquee defensive signing of the summer, is ruled out for a few months after suffering an ankle injury in preseason. But Villa is supposed to be past a 1-3 start that now includes losses to Bournemouth, Palace, and West Ham. Villa will feel aggrieved to have 58 percent possession and 9-7 shot advantage, but that’s life. It’s true that you’d love to see something profound from West Ham’s best attackers but maybe the deflected goal helps Fornals kick-on ahead of two big London derbies, where anything can happen. This is unacceptable, and Arsenal’s next with Man City to follow the Gunners. And it took a deflected shot to beat Emiliano Martinez.
