West Ham v Everton Betting Tips – Premier League 13th May 3.00pm

West Ham News and Form
West Ham collected a good point from a Thursday night home draw against Manchester United. It wasn’t a great spectacle though. The Hammers have only taken the one win in their last six league games home and away combined but to be fair to them, in that sequence they faced four top six sides. West Ham’s home record this season is W6 D6 L6 and there’s not really been any consistency for them there as of late to speak of. The Hammers are W2 D2 L2 in their last six. But they haven’t conceded in either of their last two league matches and West Ham to win to nil at Betfair is at 10/3 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 10:46 p.m.). You don’t expect a lot of goals to come from West Ham and only 44% of their fixtures at home have made it above 2.5 goals. They have been level at half time in ten of their home fixtures so perhaps the half-time draw at Betfair is going to be worth considering as this does look as if it will be an evenly matched affair. Marko Arnautovic is their top scorer this season with a ten-goal haul and half of those were at home. It is hard to see a lot of quality being produced in this game of no importance.
Everton News and Form
Everton have done all right down the final stretch this season having remained unbeaten in their last five (D2 D3). They have only taken the one defeat in their last eight league fixtures and that was against Man City as well. They haven’t had a good season on the road through honestly with just a W3 D6 L9 record having been posted by them all season. however, the three wins that they have taken on the road have all been against sides currently sitting 10th or lower in the league just where West Ham. Four of Everton’s last five games have ended under 2.5 goals so that is worth considering for this one. Under 2.5 goals at Betfair is at 4/6 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 7:15 p.m.). There has been fifteen away goals scored by the Toffees this season only and they have been really shaky at the back. They have conceded an average of 1.8 goals per away game while they have picked up a clean sheet in just 17% of games. It is the end of the season where nothing matters and there are two average sides meeting up. It may not be the greatest of spectacles.
West Ham v Everton Head to Head
Everton took a 4-0 win at Goodison Park when they hosted West Ham back in November and that leaves them undefeated in three against the London side. Everton took a clean sheet in each of those three games in that sequence as well. Everton just totally boss West Ham in the head to head as they have lost just one of their last twenty-two games against them. That’s a pretty sound record.
