Everton vs West Ham Prediction
🔊 Which team will be higher in the Premier League standings after the 29th round? Currently, both opponents have 33 points. They are positioned in the lower half of the league table but are not in contention for relegation. Meanwhile, Everton is on an upward trajectory, while West Ham is stagnating. That's why the hosts are considered favorites at Goodison Park. Nevertheless, we will explore different options to make the prediction optimal.
Head-to-Head
Over a span of 38 head-to-head matches, Everton holds the advantage with 50% victories. However, in the first round, the opponents ended in a draw without scoring any goals. Nevertheless, the game was not boring. At least each team had chances to score, but their finishing let them down. Despite the positive head-to-head statistics, Everton has been unable to score more than one goal against West Ham in 10 consecutive matches. Therefore, as a potential bet, we note total home goals under 1.5.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results

Everton Team Overview
Everton lost to Aston Villa in David Moyes' debut match. However, since then, they have remained unbeaten in eight consecutive matches. Lately, though, there have been a lot of draws. For instance, the team did not lose to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby (2:2). The same score was in the match against Manchester United. In the last round, Everton couldn't beat Wolverhampton (1:1), although they had chances since the opponent lost Matheus Cunha, who is the main player in the Wolves' attack. Ultimately, one point was added to the tally thanks to Jack Harrison, who scored his first goal of the season. It should be noted that Broja, Ndiaye, Coleman, McNeil, and Mangala are still in the infirmary. However, it is expected that Calvert-Lewin will return to the squad soon.

West Ham United Team Overview
It is evident that Graham Potter began his tenure at West Ham by focusing on building the defense. At least under his management, the team has not conceded more than two goals in a match. In February, they even managed to shut out Arsenal (1-0) and Leicester (2-0). After that, there was a break in match practice due to their exit from the FA Cup. This break clearly did not benefit them. Although in the match against Newcastle, the team conceded only one goal (0-1). As a result, the "Hammers" are stuck in the lower half of the league table and have not moved up under the new coach. It should be noted that Antonio, Füllkrug, and Summerville are still in the infirmary.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Darren Bond. This season, he has officiated 11 Premier League matches, including one with Everton. It's surprising that the referee did not show a single yellow card in the "Toffees" game against Leicester. On average, the referee issues four warnings per match.
Everton has a slight advantage in yellow cards this season (2.3 compared to 2.2). In 7 out of the last 8 matches, they have received at least two warnings. In this situation, it makes sense to bet on Everton's total yellow cards over 1.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
West Ham doesn't look particularly impressive in attack. All hopes are pinned on the recently recovered Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus, who are positioned closest to the opponent's goal. However, the team regularly scores on the road. At least they have managed to score in 15 of their last 16 away matches. Therefore, it is worth considering the bet - West Ham to score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams approach the match with low trends on corners. In 7 of Everton's last 8 Premier League matches, there have been no more than five corners. On the other hand, West Ham has taken less than five corner kicks in six consecutive away games. Therefore, we suggest betting on total corners under 10.5.
Editor's Prediction
The favorite for the upcoming match is Everton, who haven't lost in the Premier League for a while now. On the other hand, their wins have become less frequent, and West Ham plays quite well defensively. Therefore, the match is highly likely to end in a draw, for example, with a score of 1-1.
Everton has both scored and conceded in five consecutive matches. In the upcoming match, both teams might score as well. However, there are trends indicating that it's unlikely for either team to score more than once. Therefore, as a key bet, we suggest total goals under 2.5.
