West Ham Prediction
West Ham will be looking forward to returning to their London Stadium following back-to-back defeats away from which saw The Hammers also lose 1-0 at Manchester City, but having put together a five match run without defeat at home, the hosts will be confident that they can grab a fourth league win in six matches on Saturday.
Recent wins against Arsenal, Fulham and Newcastle United have assured West Ham’s safety and they’ll now be keen to finish in the top half of the Premier League under manager Manuel Pellegrini with a reasonable home record under their belts.
West Ham’s home record stands at 7-3-5 23/20 and they’ll be pushing to further improve this when they host a poor Huddersfield Town at their London Stadium. The hosts have also held Brighton and Liverpool to 2-2 and 1-1 draws respectively, so they’ll be hard to shift this afternoon I fancy.
Midfielder Anderson (8 goals) along with forward Arnautovic (7 goals) who has returned to fitness look the most likely to score for West Ham.
Key-Facts – West ham v Huddersfield Town
- West Ham are unbeaten in their last 5 home matches in the EPL
- Huddersfield have won just 1 of their 14 away matches so far this season
- Huddersfield have failed to score in their last 5 away matches on the trot
Huddersfield Town Prediction
It’s been a long and painfully slow death for Huddersfield Town this season as the Yorkshire club have never got going, and have sat bottom of the Premier League for the majority of the season, despite the introduction of new manager, Jan Siewart, who replaced former coach, David Wagner at the helm of The Terriers.
The visitors make their way down to the nation’s capital for this clash against West Ham on the back of seven defeats from their last eight matches overall in the top flight, with their one (and rare) success being a 1-0 home win against Wolves at the end of February.
Huddersfield have registered just one away win all season which was a 2-0 over the same opponents, Wolves, back in November, but aside from that there’s been very little to cheer about if you’re a Huddersfield Town fan as their side possess a poor away record of 1-3-10 8/29.
Huddersfield’s problems away from home have stemmed from a severe lack of goals which has seen The Terriers fail to score in 7 of their 14 away matches, which includes failing to hit the back of the net in their last five away matches on the trot.
Betting Tips Verdict
West Ham have lifted their game at home and should easily account for a poor Huddersfield outfit in this clash.
