West Ham vs Burnley Soccer Prediction Today
This soccer pick is played in England Premier League!
With Burnley now all but safe after beating Everton last weekend, much of the attention will turn to David Moyes’ West Ham, who have shipped eight goals in their last two Premier League (PL) matches to reignite doubts about their ability to stay up.
It is fortunate, perhaps, that Burnley are next on the Hammers’ schedule. West Ham are unbeaten against Burnley in eight meetings (W6, D2), having also won the reverse fixture 2-1 back in October.
In another stat that can only serve to give Moyes’ men more confidence, the last time West Ham lost at home to Burnley after beating them away in the same season was back in 1959/60.
With just one home defeat in the last eight games, and the wins/draws in that sequence seeing the Hammers concede under 1.5 goals, home form is likely to be the key to their survival. Burnley, by contrast, are winless in eight on the road, scoring over 1.5 goals on just one occasion.
David Moyes has already warned his squad that their livelihoods are at stake. After watching his team thrashed 4-1 at Swansea last weekend, he said: “If they are going to play like that, then there’ll be none of us here.”
Soccer Picks Players : In recent weeks, West Ham left back Patrice Evra has been ostracised by fans after beginning his East End career poorly. If he starts, it could be his last chance to prove that he belongs in the starting XI.
The visitors are in a much better place. Ashley Barnes terrorised the Everton backline in his last game for Burnley. His tally is now five goals from 28 appearances.
Soccer Picks Strategy: Burnley are without a clean sheet in 11 matches against West Ham.
West Ham have scored first in five out of the last six meetings with Burnley.
