West Ham are on the bad run, but they will try to say goodbye to their fans with a win. On the other hand, Aston Villa are still hoping for UEFA Cup and the condition for that is to win at Upton Park and they also wait for Necastle to beat Everton.

Hammers on a holiday already

Unlike the last season when Tevez brought them not only the surprising win over Manchester United, but also the survival, Hammers do not those kinds of problems. They had secured their survival long time ago which resulted in bad run after relaxing a bit. They have marked only one win in the last 7 games and now they will try to redeem themselves in front of their fans that have greater ambitions than mid-table rankings. It is certain that Courbishley, who managed to put the team back on their feet again, is preparing some alterations for the summer in order to try interfering in the fight for Europe next season. This team is not far away from that, with couple of great signings, Courbishley might create a team capable of great deeds. Of course, the condition is that injuries will miss them because this entire season was terrible for them.

Aston Villa missed the chance against Wigan

In the last round against Wigan, Aston Villa failed to reach UEFA Cup place. The win was to bring them so longed 5th place, but O’Neill failed so Bruce and his players took the salvation points. O’Neill created a fantastic team and they could easily be in the top 4 next season. They are not the only ones who desire that, and playing in Europe could even prevent those plans from happening. The greatest problem for the tam from Birmingham is the situation with Berry who is already in talks with Liverpool and Arsenal. The uncertainly about their key midfielder is certainly affecting the atmosphere in the squad, but we have no doubts that O’Neill will find the appropriate replacement for the next season, while the first assistant in the league, Ashley Young, will still be in charge of the creativity. Berger is on his way out and after a disagreement with O’Neill during the week, it is certain he will not play at Upton Park.

Betting verdict

Although Aston Villa have bigger motives in this game, they will not easily take points from this fixture. West Ham are a great team and they will certainly want to please their fans with the closing win. In England, unlike Italy and Spain, teams that need points do not get them that easily, so don’t rush when betting on this fixture. Aston Villa were in the similar situation last week also, and they will need to play much better now if the ywant to win. If you must bet here, think about goals since West Ham will certainly not be defending.
