Betting on West Ham United Football Club
West Ham currently holds eighteenth place in the standings with 24 points, but only one point away from salvation, and with one game in hand compared to most of its rivals in the battle for survival. The team knows that winning the upcoming match would be a positive step towards its mission of staying in the English top-flight for another season.
Considering its postponed match from the previous matchday, and the FIFA international break, West Ham had just over two weeks to prepare for this crucial fixture. The team comes into this game in good form, having secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League by defeating AEK Larnaca 4-0 on March 16. Additionally, It has four consecutive unbeaten home league matches under its belt.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Alphonse Aréola; Emerson Palmieri, Nayef Aguerd, Angelo Ogbonna, Ben Johnson; Tomás Soucek, Declan Rice, Lucas Paquetá; Jarrod Bowen, Danny Ings, Saïd Benrahma.
Betting on Southampton Football Club
Although Southampton has just one point less than West Ham, the team is in much more desperate need of a win. Being in last place in the standings, Southampton has even played one more game than many of its direct rivals in the fight to avoid relegation. However, it could come into this match motivated after the last game, where it managed to pull off a dramatic 3-3 draw against Tottenham.
This performance of three goals could also be a sign of a resurrection of Southampton‘s attack, which is one of the weakest in the Premier League with only 23 goals scored. Surprisingly, being on the road could provide the team with the perfect scenario to climb out of the relegation zone. Southampton is one of the few teams in the Premier League that has earned more points on enemy grounds (13) than at home (10). So, keep an eye on this underdog, they might just surprise us all!
Possible Lineup (4-5-1): Gavin Bazunu; Jan Bednarek, Romain Perraud, Kyle Walker-Peters, Armel Bella-Kotchap; Mohamed Elyounoussi, James Ward-Prowse, Ibrahima Diallo, Carlos Alcaraz, Kamaldeen Sulemana; Che Adams.
JefeBet Prediction
Even though West Ham isn’t one of the league’s most productive attacking teams, it could shake things up here. It has won four of its last five home matches against Southampton, scoring two goals in each of those matches (the team even scored three goals in each of its victories).
Furthermore, defensively it has been rock-solid at home recently, conceding only one or no goals in the last five matches at the London Stadium. This means it won’t make it easy for the struggling away offense.
West Ham should dominate this game, but let’s not forget that the Saints have kept a clean sheet in two of their last three away matches against top teams like Chelsea and Manchester United. Therefore, we expect a close victory for the home team.
Prediction: West Ham Moneyline and Under (WHU 1-0 SOU).
