Betting Odds:

• West Ham are the 6/4 favourites to win following a great transfer window.
• The draw is 13/5 between the two, who seem fairly evenly matched going into the opener.
• If you fancy the visitors, they are 17/10 with bet365 to win the match.

West Ham and Aston Villa occupy the evening TV slot for this weekends Premier League opener and it looks to be a mouth-watering encounter. West Ham have made several exciting summer signings and are 4/1 to finish in the top six this season.

Villa finished fourth last season, securing Champions League football for this campaign. They are 3/1 with Bet365 to repeat that feat, however, the additional fixtures in the Champions League may cause tiredness amongst their squad. They are 11/8 for the top six finish.

• Niclas Fullkrug over 0.5 shots on target

• Aaron Wan-Bissaka to be carded

ODDS – 25/1 with bet365.

West Ham vs Aston Villa Predictions

We’re expecting a lively encounter between these two to get them underway for the 2024/25 Premier League season. New Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui will be looking to get off to a flyer, having brought in several new faces to the London Stadium. Villa finished fourth last time out and will be right up for it again this season, so we’re taking a both teams to score tip in this one.

Niclas Fullkrug comes into this season at his new club having proven his worth on the national stage at EURO 2024 with Germany. The former Dortmund man managed two goals for his national side this summer and bagged 12 goals in the Bundesliga last season. We’re betting him to have at least one shot on target here in his Premier League debut.

We also like the look of two players to be carded in this fixture. Villa captain John McGinn starts this campaign following a dismal display for Scotland at the Euros, and will be keen to show his worth this weekend. He loves to get stuck in and is good odds for a yellow here. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of several new kids on the block at West Ham, and we all know his defensive capabilities. He will make a number of hard tackles here and I expect him to put himself on the referee’s radar for a card.
