West Ham vs Burnley Prediction & Match Preview

• West Ham come into this on the back of successive league wins, scoring seven goals in the process.
• Burnley lost eight and drew two of the previous ten outings across competitions.
• Jarrod Bowen completed a hat-trick in West Ham’s previous home match.

West Ham will search for their third consecutive league win on Sunday afternoon when they host Burnley in Gameweek No 28. The Hammers bagged seven goals in back-to-back league victories over Brentford and Everton. It is quite an upgrade to their performances from the last couple of months as David Moyes’ men had earlier been winless in eight subsequent outings across competitions.

Burnley are in a very difficult position. They have not been pulling up any trees of late, losing eight and drawing two of the previous ten games in all competitions. The latest of their failures happened seven days ago. Clarets fell 0-2 at home to Bournemouth. That said, Vincent Kompany’s men deserved to score at least a goal as they missed numerous high-profile opportunities on the occasion.

Burnley failed to find the back of the net in three consecutive league matches, conceding as many as ten on the opposite end along the way. This will be the music to the ears of Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus, and company. West Ham’s attacking line has clicked once again as soon as Paqueta recovered from his injury.

Recent Meetings

Only two of the previous six head-to-head matches between West Ham and Burnley provided three or more goals.

West Ham vs Burnley Prediction

West Ham are big form favourites and it is very hard to look past the home win pick here. The Hammers did have a tough Europa League game against Freiburg just three days ago on German soil, but we still believe they should have enough to dispatch a weak Burnley side here. Clarets lost eight and drew two of the previous ten matches across competitions. They have a goal difference of 0-10 in the last three Premier League defeats. The home win pick is the main betting option at the 1.61 odds.

Burnley conceded two or more goals in each of the previous six Premier League games. They have been particularly easy to break down on recent travels. Clarets shipped at least three goals in each of the last four away outings in the league. Jarrod Bowen completed a hat-trick in West Ham’s previous home game, a 4-2 win over Brentford on February 26. We like the 2.75 odds offered for Bowen to score anytime on Sunday afternoon.
