This season they have won 3 of their 6 away matches, while West Ham have won 3 of their 6 home matches. West Ham are averaging 3 goals per game across their last 10 home matches, which increases the risk of a heavy defeat for the visitors.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both teams play an open game, though stylistically West Ham look more prolific thanks to a high average attacking output at home - a trend reflected in Total Goals - Over 2.5 coming in regularly in their home matches. The match should be shaped by the hosts' desire to close the gap on the leaders through attacking play, while the visitors will look for their chances on the counter or from set pieces, backed by their balance between defence and attack - this increases the likelihood of goals being exchanged in the second half or towards the end of the match, as both sides chase points. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
