Aston Villa VS West Bromwich Match Prediction

West Bromwich Albion have only beaten Aston Villa five times since 1985, overall Villa lead 79-55 from 172 games. They met earlier in the season in December at the Hawthorns with Villa emerging with a 3-0 win. Anwar El Ghazi found the net twice with Bertrand Traore scoring in between. This was Sam Allardyce’s first match in charge of West Brom and it’s fair to say that he has not had the desired impact as yet.

Aston Villa vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction

Aston Villa have lost their last two games 2-1 but both against sides from the upper reaches of the division, Manchester City and Liverpool. They will fancy their chances against weaker opposition and with the added incentive of hammering one of the final nails into the West Bromwich Albion relegation coffin. We are backing Dean Smith’s side to take all three points and leave Sam Allardyce staring relegation in the face.

Aston Villa Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

West Bromwich Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 5-4-1

Although they were looking like challenging for the European positions back in February, Dean Smith will still be content with this season for Aston Villa which has seen no danger of relegation. However, Sam Allardyce is in real danger of losing his impressive record of never taking a side down from the Premier League. Although they are desperate for three points, don’t expect them to come out with an all attacking performance. The Baggies will be very content with a win by any scoreline.

West Bromwich Albion have won only 2 games away from home all season.
