Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert will fancy his clubs chances of beating West Ham away at the weekend with his club winning more matches away than at home.
Villa have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last two away matches that included a goalless draw at Hull, and a 0-1 win away at Norwich and look good odds at 11/4 to keep their away form intact at Upton Park against West Ham on Saturday.
It must be pointed out the Villa have trouble keeping possession of the ball, but are lightning fast on the break as we witnessed in the first game of the season when they beat Arsenal 1-3 at the Emirates.
Last weekend saw the Villains lose 0-2 at home to Everton which is not the ideal preparation for the trip to east London, but you must remember the star striker Christian Benteke failed to score from the penalty spot while also missing the simplest of goals while Andi Weimann also wasted an opportunity to score.
West Ham will face a tough test at Burnley midweek fresh off their win over QPR and are not going to be as tough a test as Everton were having already lost three times at home to Manchester City, Everton and Stoke.
Villa to win away at West Ham at 11/4 is my bet of the week.
