Southampton - West Ham United betting tips and odds

Beating West Ham United will not be easy, but we believe Southampton are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.45.

The Saints faced off against Newcastle United in the previous game, and most bookies placed them as the underdogs. The final result was a 2:2 draw, however, after a prolonged stalemate which isn’t something to scoff at.

The Hammers can’t be too happy with their latest Premier League result. They were the slightly stronger team in that matchup against Crystal Palace and took the lead as expected. Unfortunately, the lead crumbled away in the second half, resulting in a 2:2 draw.

The Saints have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Premier League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

With 10 goals in their previous 3 Premier League matches, West Ham boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

West Ham are the favourites between these two teams, partly due to the way things ended the last time we saw them clash. In the previous season of the Premier League, West Ham got hold of a decisive victory that still marks them as the better team.

The visitors may be expected to win, but they’ll have to do so without Arthur Masuaku, Andriy Yarmolenko, Winston Reid. This tips the scales slightly in the hosts’ favour, but not by much.

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 1 odds are great value.
