WEST HAM v CARDIFF CITY
Tuesday 4th December 2018 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
West Ham take on Cardiff City as the betting tips continue at the London Stadium with both teams coming off wins on the weekend.
West Ham recorded a valuable and impressive 3-0 win away at a recently rejuvenated Newcastle United side who had previously registered three wins on the trot, and Manuel Pellegrini’s side moved up into 13th place as a result.
The Hammers have lost just once in their last five matches overall in the English top flight which was a 4-0 loss to league leaders Manchester City, but recent wins over Burnley and Newcastle have lifted the east London club away from immediate danger of the relegation zone.
However, the hosts will be keen to further improve upon what is a disappointing home record of 2-1-4 8/11 when they entertain Cardiff City on Tuesday night. Forwards Arnautovic (5 goals) and Hernandez (3 goals) are the main goal threats for the home side.
Cardiff City recorded a second home win on the trot on Saturday when they grabbed all three points against Wolves in a 2-1 win which was the perfect birthday present for 70 year-old manager Neil Warnock.
Cardiff have won three of their last four at home but it’s their poor results away from home which continue to hamper their progress; they’re still yet to record an away win within a wretched away record of 0-1-5 2/12 as scoring goals on the road have also been a major problem.
The visitors have lost their last four on the trot, failed to score in 4 of their 6 away matches to date and have kept just one clean sheet which was a 0-0 draw at Huddersfield Town.
Quite simply, West Ham possess the greater ability to score goals and the betting tips suggest this will be a deciding factor in this clash.
