Everton vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
For no one is it a secret that the two teams are even and irregular in their actions. For that reason and knowing that they can alternate the domain of the ball, we believe that the bet “both teams score” is interesting to bet. It paints to be a round-trip duel for the defensive flaws exhibited by “Toffees” and “Hammers” on a regular basis. Considering this, we believe that they have what it takes to recover from a hypothetical initial disadvantage.
Everton:
The present of the “Toffees” in the Premier can be classified as acceptable, despite the large number of draws harvested at the start of the league (3). These days, they have 6 points in the table, placing them in the seventh position of the general table. If goals are involved, he has scored 7 and has given 6 on his fence, proving to be a competitive team although somewhat unbalanced at the time of scoring. He comes from equalizing 1-1 at Huddersfield at home before the recess for the FIFA date, registering his second consecutive parity.
As a local at Goodison Park, Everton has played two games so far, achieving 4 points in total. First won 2-1 at Southampton to then match 1-1 against Huddersfield as mentioned in the previous paragraph. If we analyze both games, we can conclude that the “Toffees” started both games well, scoring in the first half (2 goals converted to Sotton and 1 to Huddersfield). For this match it is expected that coach Marco da Silva will repeat the 4-2-3-1 system that he has been using regularly, which has allowed his boys to be direct and dynamic in the face of the goal. Of course, it is necessary that the main figures of the squad appear like Sigurdsson, Theo Walcott and the Turkish striker Tosun.
West Ham:
The start of the league of the “Hammers” has not been the expected, after adding 4 consecutive defeats and placed in the last position of the competition. If goals are involved, he has scored 2 and has given 10 on his fence, noticing a serious imbalance in his football proposal. Now the goal of the squad is to cut this slump as it is and add his first win in the Premier League. Of not being able to win, a point is always welcome and much more if it is achieved against a rival of a certain quality. He comes from losing 0-1 to Wolverhampton at home, a game he painted for 0-0 but lost it in the absence of a few minutes for the final whistle.
As a visitor, West Ham has played two games so far and both were negative for their interests. First he lost 4-0 to Liverpool on Anfield Road and then dropped 3-1 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Against the “Reds”, the first half ended 2-0 against and before the “Gunners” the score was equal to one goal per side. For this exit it is expected that the technician Pellegrini take his precautions, trying to populate the midfield to stop the offensive potential of his rival. That yes, anyway, will manage to get the goal, since it has good players at the time of attack (Felipe Anderson, Jack Wilshere, Snodgrass and Arnautovic). The logic indicates that the Chilean technician repeats the 4-2-3-1 system that he has been using regularly.
In the last 5 and a half years, Everton and West Ham have met 7 times at Goodison Park. The results of those matches were as follows: Everton victory 2-0 in May 2013, Everton 1-0 win in March 2014, Everton victory 2-1 in November 2014, 1-1 draw in January 2015 by FA Cup, win 2-3 of West Ham in March 2016, win 2-0 of Everton in October 2016 and victory 4-0 of Everton in November 2017. Apparently, every time both teams collide, there are always goals in between. Considering this, we believe that the pattern can be repeated once more.
