With a win, West Ham has the opportunity to jump into the top flight of the Premier League. The team has had a really good season so far and already has 29 points on their books. The situation is different with the guests, West Brom is in the middle of the relegation battle and urgently needs points.
Before the game West Ham vs West Brom, the odds of the best bookmakers show that the hosts are relatively clearly favoured. Given the gap between the two teams, which is now 18 points, this comes as little surprise. After all: West Brom won the last game.
That’s why the guests hope for a turnaround. But the game at West Ham will be quite difficult, the hosts can overtake Chelsea with a win and secure seventh place in the table. The game starts on Tuesday evening.
West Ham – Statistics & Current Form
29 points from 18 games, ninth place in the Premier League table. West Ham United is playing a very stable season under David Moyes. Even the departure of striker Sebastien Haller did not cause big problems. Antonio also played a powerful attacker who scored the winning goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Burnley FC.
Before the game West Ham vs. West Brom, the betting odds show that West Ham is the clear favourite. Given the performance over the past few weeks, this is hardly surprising. West Ham is currently very stable, especially defensive.
That can also be proven. West Ham did not concede three times in a row. Against Burnley and Everton (both 1-0) that was enough for the win, against a strong FC Southampton at least a draw. Overall, the club from London has been unbeaten for four league games, so the trend is clearly upwards.
West Ham want to make the next jump in the table
There was also a victory in the FA Cup, also to zero. West Ham feels particularly comfortable at home this season, having only lost two games. Right at the start against Newcastle United and at the beginning of December against Manchester United, after all the strongest away team in the Premier League.
With a win against West Brom, the leap to seventh place could take place, while the Moyes team could overtake Chelsea FC. Before the game West Ham vs. West Brom, our prediction is based on the current form that the hosts will leave the field as winners.
Only Masuaku is missing injured, but after the game on Saturday and the very short break there should be some rotation. Against a low West Brom you need fresh forces in the starting line-up, so coach Moyes will react.
The probable lineup of West Ham:
Fabianski – Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell – Rice, Soucek, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Fornals – Antonio

West Brom – Statistics & Current Form
West Brom had imagined the season a little differently so far. It is no surprise that as a newcomer you would initially play against relegation. More than eleven meagre points after 18 league games so far were the goal. After all: on Saturday West Brom celebrated a very important 3-2 away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Nevertheless, before the game West Ham vs. West Brom, the odds show that the guests are travelling to London as outsiders.
The away win at Wolves was important, the point-scoring abroad is even better than at home. However, both numbers are extremely low. At home, West Brom scored an average of 0.56 points, while away from home it was 0.67.
West Brom are hoping for a second win in a row
West Brom’s biggest problem is the defensive. You have already conceded three or more goals seven times in a game. Overall, the guest has conceded 41 goals, which is the worst value in the entire Premier League. Against Leeds and Arsenal, there were very bitter bankruptcies recently, they lost 5-0 and 4-0, were sometimes terrifyingly weak. The reaction against the Wolves was all the more important.
Due to the defensive problems and the good form of the hosts, our tip before the game West Ham vs. West Brom is that the hosts will get a home win.
A win would be very important for West Brom, just one point would help the team. On the next day of the match, it’s up against the form strong Manchester City, then the two direct relegation crashers against Fulham and Sheffield are on the program. After all, trainer Sam Allardyce can draw on a full range of staff.
The probable lineup of West Brom:
Button – O’Shea, Ivanovic, Ajayi, Gibbs – Livermore, Field, Snodgrass, Pereira, Robson-Kanu – Robinson
