WEST BROM VS ASTON VILLA MATCH ANALYSIS
West Brom are no longer one of the two Premier League sides not to have recorded a win yet in this campaign – the honor goes to Sheffield Utd. After that minimal but precious win, West Brom returned to the losing ways with back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace at home (1-5) and at Newcastle (2-1). After the latest gutsy draw at the Etihad (1-1) in midweek, the Baggies remain in the relegation zone in 19th place with 7 points (W1, D4, L8). As for Villa, they got off to a fantastic start, having won their first four league matches, but have since suffered four defeats in six games (W2-L4), most recently against West Ham (2-1) in London on November 30. However, they saw off Wolves next at the Moulinex (0-1) last weekend and after a disappointing 0-0 draw against Burnley at home, they have moved one step down to 11th place with 19 points, albeit with two games in hand.
West Brom, obviously, do not seem competitive enough at this level, and given their sluggish start to the season, it’s no wonder Slaven Bilic got the sack in midweek. Sam Allardice, his replacement, will have to improve the Baggies considerably to avoid the immediate return to the second division. Coming into this weekend, they have conceded most Premier League goals this season (27), but they will be encouraged by an away draw (1-1) against Pep Guardiola’s City.
On Tuesday, Man City created chances and controlled the game, and had Baggies goalkeeper Sam Johnstone not made two point-blank stoppage-time saves, City would have ended up victorious. They seemed on course for a home win against West Brom when Gundogan found the net after half an hour, but the midfielder's goal was canceled out on the stroke of half-time when Semi Ajayi’s deflected shot wrong-footed City keeper Ederson.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, Villa suffered a dip in their form recently, with the team experiencing all sorts of defensive problems in three straight home defeats - to Leeds (0-3), Southampton (3-4), and lastly, Brighton (1-2). Villa were deservedly second-best in those games, unable to compete with the visitors' intensity and energy. They will have felt very hard done by to come away with just a point against Burnley, having 27 shots without finding the net, but will welcome back key players this weekend having been without half of their usual starting outfielders in midweek.
Aston Villa did everything but score in a thoroughly entertaining goalless stalemate with Burnley as the hosts failed to win for the fourth successive home match. In a pulsating game, Villa had 15 shots in the first half alone and twice hit the woodwork. Despite failing to win, Villa have kept six clean sheets in the Premier League this season - more than any other side - while manager Dean Smith said he was not worried by his team’s inability to score ahead of their visit to West Bromwich.

This is the first Premier League clash between the sides since a goalless draw in January 2016.
After scoring 5 goals in their first three Premier League games this season (D1 L2), West Brom have scored just 5 in their next 10 in the competition (W1 D3 L6), while Villa have won 4 of their 5 away games in the Premier League this season (L1), as many as they had in their previous 42 on the road.
There is no doubt that the visitors have more quality within their ranks but the hosts will be hoping for a new manager bounce and are undefeated at the Hawthorns against their local rivals in eight meetings since 2008.
BettingKick’s prediction for West Brom vs Aston Villa match is: Under 2.5 goals

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
