West Ham United West Bromwich Albion betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash marks the meeting between two teams that need a lot of positive results to try to start a recovery in the second half of the English Championship, as they are among the last three placed, having West Ham a two-point advantage over its opponent of this round. The home team has been showing a lot of defensive problems, especially in counter-attack contention and side coverage. West Bromwich, meanwhile, has been very inefficient to complete and has difficulty in maintaining possession as well, while its defense has committed many dangerous fouls, showing weakness in fighting more skillful players. Thus, as we will have two teams in the field that do not have a good offensive power, it is a good option to bet on a game of few goals.

Preview
West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion meet at Olympic Stadium, in a match for the 22th round of the Premier League. These teams have tied (0‑0) in the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 16‑09‑2017. In 9 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 3, tied 4 and lost 2. West Ham United registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis West Ham

The home team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 4 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Newcastle United, by (2‑3). In the last match, they tied in an away match against AFC Bournemouth, by (3‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 9 home league matches West Ham United has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

West Ham is in a very difficult phase in the English Premier League, and knows it needs to win again urgently in order to try to ease its worst situation, even though it has lost only one of the last five matches. In the last round, the team played a very balanced game against Bournemouth, and after having stayed ahead twice on the scoreboard, allowed the tie already in the second half. As was evident in this clash, the defensive system has been acting in a very inconsistent way, so much so that it is now the second most leaked of the competition. Playing at home, the team owns the fourth worst campaign, and in that condition could not score goals on two occasions. Several tactical formations have been tested by the coach, who should keep Obiang as a midfield reference.

Confirmed Lineup: Adrián, Pablo Zabaleta, Aaron Cresswell, Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna, Arthur Masuaku, Pedro Obiang, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Manuel Lanzini, Marko Arnautović, Andy Carroll.
Coach: D. Moyes.

Analysis West Bromwich

The away team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 2 wins, 10 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Everton, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Arsenal, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 1 win, 7 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 22 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (3‑1) against Stoke City. In the last 10 away league matches West Bromwich Albion has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 19 matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

West Bromwich, as well as its opponent, has been campaigning hard in this edition of the English Championship, but its situation is even worse, as it only has two wins in twenty-one rounds. In its last clash, the team played a balanced game against Arsenal, and although it had only 35% of ball possession, finalized the same as the opponent, leaving the field with a point conquered. Looking at the numbers of the competition, it is possible to notice that the big problem of the team has been the offensive sector, which could not score goals in nine games, and is now among the three worst. Another weak point of the team has been the low average ball possession, having the worst number on this matter. Away from home, West Bromwich won only 20% of the points played, and in that condition scored only five goals in ten matches. The coach has often changed the team's tactical system, but should keep Gibbs as a reference on the left side.

Confirmed Lineup: Ben Foster, Craig Dawson, Kieran Gibbs, Ahmed Hegazy, Jonny Evans, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Claudio Yacob, James McClean, Jake Livermore, Jay Rodriguez, Salomón Rondón.
Coach: S. Bruce.
