Aston Villa vs. West Ham odds, picks, predictions: Best bets for Sunday's Premier League match from soccer expert

Aston Villa will host West Ham in an English Premier League bout on Sunday. This will be the second domestic match this season between these teams and the second meeting overall this month, with Aston Villa winning both the reverse fixture back in August and an FA Cup battle on Jan. 10, both by scores of 2-1. The hosts are eighth in the Premier League table and are looking to climb the standings after going unbeaten in their last four league matches, while West Ham are desperate to turn things around after losing three of their last five and dropping to 14th in the table.

Kickoff from Villa Park in Birmingham is set for 11:30 p.m. ET. The hosts are the -185 money line favorites (risk $185 to win $100) in the latest Aston Villa vs. West Ham odds, with the Hammers listed as +450 underdogs. A draw is priced at +333, and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here.)

Before you lock in your Aston Villa vs. West Ham picks or English Premier League predictions, you must see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.

The expert knows both side are struggling defensively, although things are more dire for the visiting Hammers. West Ham have conceded the most goals in the EPL's top 15, and they are in danger of slipping closer to the relegation zone. They are also having trouble making up for their mistakes in the attacking third, and losing their top goal-scorer to a leg injury puts them at a disadvantage against an Aston Villa team looking for payback.

The Villains are coming off of a disappointing 1-0 Champions League loss to Monaco, so they will be extra eager to get back into the win column and make their way up the table. Sunday's game offers a great opportunity to get back on track since Aston Villa haven't lost at home since August of last year.

Now, Eimer has taken a close look at this Premier League match from all sides. He is leaning Over on the goal total and has a pair of best bets with a full breakdown of this match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
