Prediction
Bookmakers do not distinguish a clear favorite in the upcoming match, which is worth agreeing with. At the same time, we recommend paying attention to the fairly high expectations of a large number of goals from the experts of the betting companies. However, in the head-to-head matches between West Ham and Aston Villa, high goal-scoring is not frequent. More than three goals were scored only in one out of the four previous matches between them. We believe that the most optimal bet will be the total goals under. Our prediction - total goals under 3.5 at odds of 1.65. The chances of winning today are largely equal. West Ham has the advantage of playing at home. Aston Villa, overall, has had a more successful season. It would be logical to place a bet on a draw with a good coefficient in the upcoming match. Second bet - draw at odds of 3.70. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.65. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
