S.P.Read Esq: West Ham v Aston Villa

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League game on Tuesday between WEST HAM v ASTON VILLA and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

January got better as it went on with a nice profit on Sunday from the sell of the third match goal in the MK Dons v Chelsea game.

The Premier League swings back into action tonight after a fairly dull Transfer Window despite all the hype.

Can only think that the West Ham v Aston Villa game tonight was pre-selected by BT as part of the quota to ensure that all the clubs get fair TV exposure as I would have probably put any one of the seven other fixtures ahead of this one.

Even more so after the transfer window where Aston Villa did precisely nowt despite their current predicament which, in effect, is waving the white flag to the fans.

We only have to turn to our friend Albert Einstein who said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”.

The table and current form have the teams polls apart – West Ham (6th) and Aston Villa (20th and bottom). This same fixture finished 0-0 last season but I can hardly see that scenario tonight.

On the positive side Villa have only lost one of their last six games but have scored only five goals in those games which has been their problem for much of the season with a goal difference of -20.

The fans are voting with their wallets – Villa Park was only half full for their FA Cup match against Man City on Saturday in which Villa were brushed aside 4-0.

The Hammers have only lost one of their last 10 league matches (W3, D6) and are unlikely to slip up here with realistic hopes still of a place in Europe and there could be no better way than that for them to begin their new chapter as tenants in the former Olympic Stadium from next season.
