Aron Wright - January 10, 2022

West Ham vs Norwich 
England – Premier League 
Date: Wednesday, 12 January 2022 
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET 
Venue: Olympic Stadium. 

West Ham are keeping a hold of the fifth spot for now. However, they are being relentlessly chased by the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United, who have games in hand. 

As such, it is important that the Hammers keep winning. They have no luxury to drop points. 

And keeping that in mind, it’s actually great news for them that they are pitted against the absolute worst team in the competition this Wednesday. 

Norwich are placed 20th in a table of 20, and they are on a long losing streak. They are conceding goals in huge numbers in almost every match-up, and they are struggling to find the back of the net in return. 

And with them having an inferior h2h record as well, expect West Ham to be the better team on the pitch this Wednesday. 

West Ham vs Norwich Head-to-head (h2h) 

• The latest encounter had ended in a 0-4 win for the Hammers. 
• They had won four of the past six meetings. 
• They had scored two or more goals in five of the preceding six clashes. 
• Not once have the hosts lost at this venue in the past three decades. 

West Ham vs Norwich Prediction & Analysis 

West Ham registered a 2-3 win on the road the last match-day, against Crystal Palace. They are on a three-game winning streak, and they had lost just four times at home this whole season. Note that one of these losses had come against Manchester United. 

On the other hand, Norwich lost 3-0 on the road the past game week, against Crystal Palace. They were also winless in seven of their past eight matches, and they had won just twice on the road in all competitions since May. 

One of these wins had come against Brentford, and the other had come in the FA Cup, against a team from the lower division. 

Taking into account these observations, expect a win for West Ham this game week, against the struggling Norwich.
