Stan Collymore predicts West Ham v Aston Villa scoreline in Premier League clash
Stan Collymore predicts West Ham and Aston Villa to play out a score draw at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
David Moyes has overseen a mixed run of form as of late but it does seem as though his sides’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are all but dead.
Aston Villa have been performing well, winning their last three without conceding a goal and scoring eight.
Collymore predicts there will be plenty of goals in this match too, tipping the game to end 2-2.
“Villa have picked up in the last couple of games,” said Collymore in the Sunday People [print edition, 13 March, page 55].
“Could be the game of the weekend.”
Tough game
Based on how mixed our form is and how well Villa are playing, we’d do well to be able to get a point out of this game.
The lack of business in January has appeared to have killed our seasons off with heads seeming to drop and performances waning.
We’re getting injuries creeping into the side and the strength in depth just isn’t there to be able to drag the team through this tough run to finish the season.
The most worrying thing is that we’ve now just won two of our last seven Premier League games and they were against Watford and Wolves.
We should’ve beaten Leeds, we should’ve beaten Newcastle and we probably should have beaten Leicester too.
West Ham’s European hopes are hinging on getting wins in matches like this because we’ve seen that Manchester United and Arsenal are signalling improvements while Tottenham are picking up wins too.
We’ve got to win this one but a draw, considering the form of the two sides, could do.
