West Ham vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
A small number of games are scheduled in the Premier League this weekend. The most interesting poster at first glance is the game between West Ham United and Arsenal at the London Stadium. The home team must win to keep an eye on Champions League qualification, while Arsenal must take three points if it wants to play for something in the final works.
West Ham United:
West Ham United is fifth in the Premier League. The Hammers can of course only be satisfied with that. David Moyes’ team currently even has a view of a Champions League ticket and wants to do everything for it. The East Londoners are three points behind Chelsea, the number four, and can come up with a win over Arsenal. West Ham United’s goal difference is a lot less than Chelsea’s. Nevertheless, it is very good what Moyes has achieved this season with West Ham United.
For West Ham United it is nice that it plays a home game on Sunday. The last three matches of The Hammers in their own London Stadium were finally won. West Ham has been performing less well in away games lately. Three weeks ago, it went 2-1 at Manchester City. Last weekend, West Ham United also had to settle for a 1-0 defeat on a visit to Manchester United. Jesse Lingard had to miss that game (he is hired from Manchester United) and will be back at West Ham United against Arsenal.
Arsenal:
Arsenal have remained unbeaten in 25 of their last 27 games with West Ham United. Nevertheless, Arsenal is currently well below West Ham United in the rankings. The North Londoners have collected seven points less than the East Londoners. That doesn’t seem like much, but we should also not forget that Arsenal has a much larger budget than West Ham. Moreover, Mikel Arteta also has a better selection on paper than his colleague at West Ham. Football is not decided on paper, but on the field. Arsenal too often disappoints there.
In the previous round of the Premier League, The Gunners did not. At home, Arsenal won the North London Derby 2-1 last weekend. After the handsome victory over Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal went home against Olympiakos Piraeus on Thursday evening: 0-1. In Greece, however, Arsenal had booked a 1-3 win a week earlier, so that the home defeat had no consequences for The Gunners. In the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Arsenal was linked to the Czech Slavia Prague on Friday-afternoon, which eliminated Leicester City at an earlier stage.
