West Ham vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
In London, West Ham United and Burnley meet each other on Saturday afternoon. Both teams crave a victory. Which of these two teams has the best papers to take three points at the London Stadium?
West Ham United:
The West Ham United by Manuel Pellegrini has been difficult in the last weeks. The Hammers are in thirteenth place in the Premier League, but that is mainly due to the results that were booked in September. In October, West Ham United only grabbed a point at Leicester City. The remaining two Premier League-games were lost for West Ham United. Due to the weak series in October, West Ham United has only three points ahead of the relegation zone, while The Hammers may have the material to end up in the left row.
On Wednesday night West Ham United came into action for the last time. Tottenham Hotspur was the opponent in the Carabao Cup. It became a London derby to quickly forget for Pellegrini and his men. The Hammers lost with Tottenham’s 1-3, which did not come into action yet 48 hours earlier. The only excuse Pellegrini can use is that Tottenham played with a reasonable team at the London Stadium. While at West Ham United a player like Marko Arnautović had to start on the bench. Anyway: West Ham United is out of the Carabao Cup and will temporarily focus on the Premier League. That is necessary too, because West Ham United fans are always critical and can not appreciate the current series in the Premier League.
Burnley:
Burnley is not the same Burnley as last season. At least, in terms of players. In terms of results it is a lot less. Better said: the results of Burnley this season are disappointing. Striking, because Sean Dyche had the same good for last season at The Clarets. This season everything is different. Burnley is fifteenth in the Premier League, with three points more than the teams that are under the line. Normally Burnley has too much quality to degrade, but the last two duels have to worry about Dyche.
In those last two games, Burnley won no less than nine hits. An unprecedented high number for a club like Burnley – The Clarets were known for their stable defense last season. There is little of this season; only Cardiff City and Fulham had to collect more hits. Two weeks ago, Burnley was put to the lookout at Manchester City: 5-0. As if that was not enough The Clarets lost in house last weekend with 0-4 of Chelsea. A bad result on Turf Moor against Chelsea was incidentally there for The Clarets: in 1983 Burnley last won on Turf Moor in the Premier League of Chelsea.
