Chance for West Ham

David Moyes’s team looks very respectable in the championship, they are fighting for the European Cup zone, and currently occupy a high seventh place in the table. At the same time, in the last ten rounds, the Hammers lost only twice. In the remaining nine matches, the team won six victories and three draws. Not long ago, West Ham beat such opponents as Arsenal (2-0), Manchester United (2-0), TTX (2-1). It is likely that they will be able to take points from the guests. In ten home matches, the Hammers had only two defeats. Do not miss predictions on Hammers getting betting tips from reliable source online.


West Ham unexpectedly lost their last encounter against United, but they draw too often and cannot claim a place in the top five, sitting in sixth place. In the three previous matches, the Hammers were at odds with their opponents. Thus, in the middle of the week, within the 22nd round, it was not possible to beat Bournemouth (1:1) at home, and the game was largely equal.

Arsenal before the game

The Gunners managed to be leaders of the championship this season, but a series of three matches without a win dropped the Londoners to third place. The gap from the leader is two points, but success in the upcoming battle will reduce this gap.

Arsenal woke up – after an unpleasant series of 3 defeats, the Gunners went on a winning path and beat Liverpool with an impressive score of 3:1. Let’s note the influence of the Brazilian players – all the goals were scored with the direct participation of Jesus and Martinelli. Recent successes have allowed the Londoners to return to the top 3 of the Premier League.

The chances of winning the championship do not look high so far, it is difficult for Arsenal to maintain high stability, and it is not so easy to finish in the top 4. Arsenal sent the ball into the opponent’s net 44 times, but missed only 21 of their own. As for their performance in other local tournaments, the Londoners have already lost to West Ham (1:3) in the League Cup.


Game prediction

After the analysis, we should give preference to West Ham in this match. Overall this season, the Hammers look better and more stable than most of their opponents, as evidenced by the substantial point distance between the teams in the table. Recently, the Londoners have very rarely lost in the Premier League. The factor of the home field and the support of the native stands is also important, don’t forget about it.

West Ham is a very organized team, they have just one loss in the League since December, and they clearly take advantage of their chances. We believe that the home team will not be left without points today.

If we take only official matches, then in the last five there are three victories of the host team and two draws. In the worst case there will be a draw and a return on the bet. Our prediction is a handicap (0) for the hosts.
