West Ham Prediction
West Ham will be looking to record a fifth league win on the trot when they entertain Watford at their London Stadium on Saturday afternoon following wins over Newcastle United, Cardiff City, Crystal Palace and Fulham which has lifted Manuel Pellegrini’s side into 9th place.
This winning sequence has seen West Ham score 11 goals and concede just 3 goals against as The Hammers look to extend their winning run this afternoon. The hosts have also won three of their last four on home turf amidst an overall record of 4-1-4 14/14 as the goals have started to fly in.
And although Arnautovic is a major injury doubt, Pellegrini is likely to stick with Hernandez (4 goals) and Antonio up front with the option of Andy Carroll on the bench. The hosts also possess leading goalscorer Anderson (6 goals) and Snodgrass (2 goals) in midfield.
Watford Prediction
Following a run of six league matches without a win, Watford also returned to winning ways last time out when they recorded a much needed 3-2 home win over Cardiff City, and they now sit just one league place below West Ham but level on points with their hosts.
Watford have grabbed seven wins so far this season but five of them have been registered at their Vicarage Road ground while their away record reads a slightly below par looking 2-3-3 9/10 which includes no wins from their last four away days.
Defeats at Newcastle United and Leicester City along with draws at Southampton and Everton have prevented The Hornets from making in-roads into further up the top of the table, as well as keeping just one clean sheet from their 8 away matches to date – that being a 2-0 win away at Wolves.
Midfielder Peyrera (5 goals) leads the way but has lacked goal support from the likes of Gray, Deeney and Success and the visitors could be up against it when they face a confident West Ham unit today.
Betting Tips Verdict
West Ham’s winning momentum should be enough here but I advise the draw no bet option as Watford have nicked a couple of draws on the road in recent times.
