- Competition: English FA Cup
- Date: 10th January, 2025
- Kick-off: 21:00 CET
- Venue: Villa Park
The two Premier League sides in Aston Villa and West Ham United meet in the third round of the FA Cup at Villa Park on Friday evening.
The home side have won just two of their last five games in all competitions - beating Leicester 2-1 last weekend and picking up three points against struggling Manchester City just before Christmas. However, they have turned Villa Park into a fortress in recent months, going seven games unbeaten at home and winning four of their last five.
West Ham, on the other hand, have suffered two consecutive defeats in the Premier League, ending a run of four unbeaten games. Things have not gone so well away from home recently either, with just one win in the last four games.
Aston Villa - West Ham Betting Tips: Aston Villa to Win in Full Time
West Ham have suffered two successive defeats in the Premier League - a 5-0 loss at home to Liverpool and a 4-1 defeat away to Manchester City - and have failed to score more than once in their last five league games. The Hammers have also won just twice away from home in their last ten games.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last seven home games in all competitions and have won four of their last five. For this reason, we are betting on Aston Villa to win in full time.

West Ham team news
West Ham are likely to start this game without one of their main centre-backs in Jean-Clair Todibo, who was substituted off in the early minutes of the second half against Manchester City. Konstantinos Mavropanos is his most likely replacement in central defence.
