West Ham vs Southampton Prediction and Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 30, 2023

West Ham vs Southampton
English Premier League
Date: 2 April 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: London Stadium (London).

West Ham will host Southampton in the relegation six-pointer on Sunday afternoon at London Stadium.

The Hammers will be looking to translate their Conference League form to the domestic league, following an impressive victory over Cypriot side AEK Larnaca 6-0 on aggregate in the continental competition.

When you add the 1-1 stalemate to Aston Villa in the previous league game, you get a run of three straight matches without a loss across competitions for David Moyes and his men.

They will need this positive momentum very much on Sunday given that a potential defeat here would drop the hosts at the very foot of the Premier League standings.

This is the place currently held by Southampton who are 20th despite holding both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur to draws in the previous three league rounds.

Ruben Selles’ men showed great character to come back from a two-goal deficit on two separate occasions in the previous round’s 3-3 stalemate to Tottenham Hotspur at St. Mary’s Stadium.

However, we have to say that the Saints have only managed to find the back of the net once in the previous four away games in the league.

West Ham have three wins and two draws in the last five matches at London Stadium. They have conceded no more than two goals in the process.

West Ham vs Southampton Head-to-head

• Southampton will go into this on the back of two wins and draws each in the previous four clashes against the Hammers.
• West Ham, however, have 21 victories, 7 draws, and 10 defeats in the previous 38 home encounters with the Saints.
• Both teams were on target in each of the last three head to head outings, including this season’s 1-1 draw at St. Mary’s Stadium.

West Ham vs Southampton Prediction

West Ham United have shown decent displays in front of the home fans lately with three wins and two draws in the previous five games at London Stadium. They certainly possess quality to avoid the relegation scrap in the final ten rounds of the season.

We’ll take the Hammers to win at the 1.72 odds as the main pick, while you can also back the hosts to keep a clean sheet at the 2.20 odds.
