Aston Villa vs West Bromwich. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (April 25, 2021).

The team from Birmingham was tested by the giants in recent rounds, and they have sadly failed that test. In three of their four previous games, Aston Villa lost to Manchester City (1:2), Liverpool (1:2), and Tottenham (0:2). The only team that the Villans could beat was the underdog Fulham, whom they defeated at home with a score of 3:1.

After a rather successful first part of the season, in the second half, Aston Villa seemed to have lost their ground. Of the 17 games that Dean Smith's men have played in this calendar year, they lost nine and won only five times. The victory in the match against Fulham is the only one for the Villans in the last seven rounds.

As a result of this terrible run, Aston Villa dropped to 11th place in the standings, and they are separated from the potential spot in the European competition and the seventh position by 11 points. That gap will be almost impossible to close. 

At home, Smith's players have won only twice in their last seven games. Aside from Fulham, they also managed to beat Arsenal at home (1:0). Overall, Aston Villa is now 11th in terms of home performance. They won six of their 15 games at Villa Park, drew two of them, and lost seven.

Disqualification will be served by Matthew Cash. Jack Grealish, Mahmoud Trezeguet and Morgan Sanson are injured. Wesley's participation is doubtful.

After two real crackers against Chelsea (5:2) and Southampton (3:0), West Bromwich suddenly interrupted their unexpected winning streak and lost to Leicester, not really knowing how to play against the Foxes (0:3). The defeat in that game practically destroyed the last hope of the Baggies to maintain their spot in the Premier League.

At the moment, the team of Sam Allardyce occupies the second-last line in the standings. In 32 matches, the Baggies have earned 24 points and are now nine points away from safety.

Away West Brom is one of the worst teams in the Premier League. In 16 away matches, they got only two victories, lost ten games, and ended four in a draw. 29 goals conceded on rivals' fields is one of the worst stats: only Soton, Leeds, and Sheffield United have conceded more.

Defender Branislav Ivanovic is the only injured player in the lineup.
