Monday Night Football provides us the most intriguing prospect of Aston Villa v West Ham — two sides I haven’t quite worked out yet (at West Ham’s instance, I do not believe I’ll ever work out them ).
Dean Smith’s men have endured a rocky start to life back at the Premier League, losing at Villa Park — book-ending a victory against Everton from Bournemouth, Spurs and Crystal Palace.
With so many new faces to mattress to the side, it is little surprise that Villa haven’t hit the ground running, but their success over the Toffees was a very clear sign that gift isn’t in short supply.
West Ham, unpredictable as always, encounter this to the rear of consecutive victories against Norwich and Watford — primarily due to the excellence of striker S??bastien Haller –and I am backing them to beat against Villa on Monday, which will be priced at 17/10.
The likes of Manuel Lanzini Haller, Andriy Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson can lead to any team in the league problems, and they’ll have to be shooting to make up for their defensive listing.
The Hammers have the endings, and at this price, they’re worth from a Villa side still searching for their identity backing.
S??bastien Haller is gravy Like I said.
Last year, despite a number of accidents, Haller scored 20 goals in 41 games for Eintracht Frankfurt as part of an wing up with Ante Rebic and Luca Jovic, so it’s little surprise he has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water.
The Frenchman has scored three goals in his past two league matches, and I enjoy 17/10 to allow him to obtain the web at any time on Monday.
West Ham will be certain that they could create opportunities; Villa’s only victory against Everton has been in spite of the traffic’ xG being 1.56, far higher than Villa’s 0.81, don’t expect Haller to become starved of goalscoring chances.
