⭐ Editor's Prediction
The trends point to a strong chance of goals at both ends: West Ham have scored and conceded in six consecutive matches, and they have barely kept a clean sheet all season - conceding in 10 of their 11 games. Both sides tend to attack rather than shore up defensively, and the visitors rarely lose heavily thanks to their concentration right up to the final whistle, even against the stronger sides in the competition. The league table situation is pushing both teams to take risks in pursuit of points now, despite the early stage of the season. The main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
