West Ham United - Burnley predictions

We don’t expect West Ham United to have any issues beating Burnley. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.71 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for The Clarets, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.30.

Few people saw the previous victory of The Hammers coming. The odds for them to beat Everton were priced at 3.80, but the match remained in a stalemate throughout the first half. As the game progressed, however, a string of extraordinary goals led The Hammers to a surprise away victory 1:3.

Burnley are coming on the back of a 0:2 defeat at home, which was painful but hardly unexpected. Not many Premier League betting predictions expected them to be able to stand up to AFC Bournemouth, and they fell behind fairly early.

With a defensive record like the one West Ham boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at London Stadium seems lost on them.

Given 10 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Burnley's defensive line is much to be desired.

The visitors are well on their way towards relegation unless they can close the 7 -point difference before it’s too late. We’re already at round 28, though, and they’re heading into a very unfavourable matchup.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Premier League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Burnley. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.45 odds are great value.
