West Ham :
29 points from 18 games, ninth place in the Premier League table. West Ham United is playing a very stable season under David Moyes. Even the departure of striker Sebastien Haller did not cause the big problems. Antonio also played a powerful attacker who scored the winning goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win against Burnley FC.
Before the game West Ham vs. West Brom, the odds show that West Ham is the clear favorite. Given the performance of the past few weeks, this is hardly surprising. West Ham is currently very stable, especially defensive.
That can also be proven. West Ham did not concede three times in a row. Against Burnley and Everton (both 1-0) that was enough for the win, against a strong FC Southampton at least a draw. Overall, the club from London has been unbeaten for four league games, so the trend is clearly upwards.
There was also a victory in the FA Cup, also to zero. West Ham feels particularly comfortable at home this season, having only lost two games. Right at the start against Newcastle United and at the beginning of December against Manchester United, after all the strongest away team in the Premier League.
With a win against West Brom, the leap to seventh place could take place, while the Moyes-Elf could overtake Chelsea FC. Before the game West Ham vs. West Brom, our forecast is based on the current form that the hosts will leave the field as winners. More tips on the Premier League can be found on a betting basis!
Only Masuaku is out injured, but there should be some rotation after the game on Saturday and the very short break. Against a low West Brom you need fresh forces in the starting line-up, so coach Moyes will react.
West Brom :
West Brom had imagined the season a little differently so far. It is no surprise that as a newcomer you would initially play against relegation. More than eleven meager points after 18 league games so far were the goal. After all: on Saturday West Brom celebrated a very important 3-2 away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Nevertheless, before the game West Ham vs. West Brom, the odds show that the guests are traveling to London as outsiders. Another win would be extremely important. On the one hand for self-confidence, on the other hand for the table. The saving shore is five points away.
The away win at Wolves was important, the point scoring abroad is even better than at home. However, both numbers are extremely low.
West Brom’s biggest problem is the defensive. You have already conceded three or more goals seven times in a game. Overall, the guest has conceded 41 goals, which is the worst value in the entire Premier League. Against Leeds and Arsenal there were very bitter bankruptcies recently, they lost 5-0 and 4-0, were sometimes terrifyingly weak. The reaction against the Wolves was all the more important.

A win would be very important for West Brom, just one point would help the team. On the next day of the match, it’s up against the form strong Manchester City, then the two direct relegation crashers against Fulham and Sheffield are on the program. After all, trainer Sam Allardyce can draw on a full range of staff.
