Everton vs West Ham Prediction 29 September 2025
🔊 How will the coaching change impact the fortunes of the beleaguered West Ham? On September 27, it was announced that Graham Potter had been dismissed as the head coach of the Hammers. Just two days later, on the 29th, the team will play an away match at Hill Dickinson under the guidance of Nuno Espírito Santo. Bookmakers remain skeptical about the Portuguese manager's immediate success, with Everton heavily favored and a significant disparity in the odds. For David Moyes, this match carries special significance, given his successful stint at West Ham, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
Head-to-Head
📊 In head-to-head encounters, West Ham hold a clear advantage, having defeated the Toffees in 3 of their last 4 away matches. The Londoners have enjoyed their trips to Goodison Park. Additionally, the Hammers outperformed Everton this past summer-the Premier League Summer Series clash ended 2-1 in their favor, with Lucas Paquetá registering a goal and an assist.
Head-to-head statistics Everton - West Ham
Everton Team Overview
Everton's results have taken a noticeable downturn. It all began with the game against Aston Villa, where the Toffees, despite dominating play (20 shots, xG 1.89), failed to break through their opponents, ending in a 0-0 draw. This was followed by a narrow defeat at Anfield (1-2), despite playing some commendable football.
Later in the week, David Moyes' protégés bid farewell to the League Cup, falling to Wolverhampton (0-2). The reserves didn't perform at their best, although the Blues once again outperformed their opposition in key statistical areas. Perhaps exiting a secondary tournament might allow Everton to regain ground in the Premier League, where they've slipped to 10th place.

West Ham United Team Overview
Boom! Graham Potter has been sacked as the head coach of West Ham. The Englishman had been on the brink for some time, and the management decided not to delay the inevitable any longer. Especially with a top-tier specialist like Nuno Espírito Santo now available, who boasts successful Premier League experience with two clubs - Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest.
Graham Potter's tenure with the Hammers has been nothing short of a nightmare, particularly this season, where the team has lost 5 out of 6 matches, conceding more than 2.5 goals in three of those games. In short, there was neither style nor results. Jarrod Bowen made valiant efforts to carry West Ham, even scoring against Crystal Palace (1-2) in the last round, but the captain was unable to make a significant impact on the overall situation.

Latest news
Everton
🎙 David Moyes exuded optimism at the pre-match press conference: “We're very pleased with how we've started the season. We've achieved a lot, so we hope to keep it going. We also have strong results at the new stadium, so let's hope we can continue this form.” Speaking about West Ham, the Scotsman added: “It's great to see them all. I've built wonderful relationships with many players, staff, and everyone at the club. Everything was fantastic. We had a great time together. They're truly good people, and it was a pleasure working with them.”
❌ The hosts face just two personnel issues. Freiburg loanee Merlin Röhl, sidelined with a hip injury, isn't a key player. However, Jarred Branthwaite, the leader of the "Toffees" defense, hasn't featured this season due to a hamstring injury.
West Ham United
🔚 West Ham have not stopped at just dismissing their head coach. Kyle Macaulay, the head of recruitment, has also left the club.
❌ The Hammers' personnel situation remains unchanged from the previous round. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will miss out due to stomach issues, while Tomáš Souček, who was sent off in the match against Tottenham, continues to serve his suspension. These are significant losses.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Samuel Barrott has officiated five matches in the current English season, including two cup games, and has issued 17 yellow cards, averaging 3.4 per game. Notably, Barrott has already crossed paths with the "Hammers" - Wolverhampton and West Ham received just three bookings between them under his watch.
The referee's stats are modest, and today's opponents rarely play rough in their head-to-heads, which is why the under 4.5 yellow cards bet has hit in 8 of the last 9 encounters. This is where we'll place our focus.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Watching West Ham's attack this season has been painful, yet a new manager often inspires players, which is why we're banking on a goal from the visitors. The "Hammers" have scored in 16 of their last 18 away matches, and while Everton have yet to concede at "Hill Dickinson," there's always a first time for everything.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Neither Everton nor West Ham are teams that heavily rely on corners. Both average four corner kicks per match in the current Premier League season. This statistic supports a bet on under 9.5 corners, a wager that has paid off in 9 of the last 10 matches involving the "Toffees."
Editorial Prediction
Sometimes a change in management can have a miraculous effect on a team, but for that to happen, the new coach needs at least a few days to spend with the players and establish some sort of training process. Nuno Espírito Santo finds himself thrown straight into the deep end, and we don't expect him to immediately pick up points, especially considering how well the Toffees perform at their new stadium. Our editorial team, much like the bookmakers, believes David Moyes will triumph over his former club, so we're backing an Everton victory. The predicted score is 3-1.
