West Ham vs Aston Villa betting tips and summary
West Ham to win or draw – improved form recently
Morgan Rogers to have over 0.5 shots on target – good recent trend
Jarrod Bowen to have over 0.5 shots on target – strong recent trend
West Ham will take on Aston Villa in one of four 2pm kick-offs in the 2025/26 English Premier League, on December 14.
The hosts are without a win in four Premier League matches but seem to have finally found their feet after a dismal start to the campaign, when they won only one of their opening nine matches.
Back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Burnley precede draws away to Bournemouth, Brighton, and Man Utd, whilst a 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool saw them record their only loss since October.
Manager Nuno Espírito Santo’s side will now take on one of the most in-form teams in Europe when Aston Villa make the journey to East London.
Villa have won 14 of their last 16 matches across all competitions and will arrive in London off the back of five consecutive English Premier League victories.
Manager Unai Emery’s side find themselves third in the English Premier League table, now only three points behind league leaders Arsenal, after defeating them at Villa Park last weekend.
What are the best bets for West Ham vs Aston Villa?
West Ham to win or draw
Villa’s form is outstanding, and there’s no getting away from that, but West Ham will take confidence from recent matches that saw them take crucial points from difficult away matches.
They have also won two of their last three English Premier League home games.
Morgan Rogers to have over 0.5 shots on target
The England attacker has sprung to form just as much as his team has, contributing to four goals across his last six matches in all competitions.
This selection has landed in three of his last four English Premier League matches, also.
Jarrod Bowen to have over 0.5 shots on target
As West Ham’s captain and talisman, Bowen always seems to be involved in proceedings one way or another.
He has tested the opposition goalkeeper in six of his last eight English Premier League matches.
