Grab £40 in free bets ahead of Aston Villa vs West Ham with Tote

Mar 22, 2026 - 05:15

It’s a huge weekend for these two teams in claret and blue with Aston Villa hoping not to loosen their grip of a top four spot any further, going up against a West Ham side who remain in the bottom three despite some impressive recent results.

Villa are still fourth, but are within striking distance of Liverpool and Chelsea after losing their last three league games – one of which came against the West Londoners. They’re still in Europe, however, having completed a 3-0 aggregate win over Lille in the Europa League on Thursday.

West Ham were looking doomed after an early January defeat to Nottingham Forest, but they’ve since rallied – earning vital wins at Tottenham, Burnley and Fulham in recent months. They held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw last weekend and are only behind Forest on goal difference.

In a crucial game at both ends of the table, new customers looking for a new place to bet can score £40 in free bets when signing up to Tote.

Score even more value with Tote

All you need to do to qualify for the offer is place a £10 qualifying bet shortly after completing the signup process. Once that settles, you’ll receive a package of free bets totalling £40 – including bets specifically for football and accumulators.

Grabbing these now will give you plenty of opportunities to win during a bumper weekend of football, with the Carabao Cup final taking place at Wembley on Sunday.

An unhelpful point for both?

Aston Villa have been strong at home this season – until recently. Three of the last five visiting teams in the league have left Villa Park with all three points, and Newcastle were also victorious there in the FA Cup.

Both teams to score
Match to end as a draw

Unai Emery sides don’t stay in a slump for too long though, so the bookies believe they’ll get at least a point here. With West Ham also scrapping, however, it could be tough separating the two on this occasion.
