The Premier League returns this weekend after the international break. The return fixtures include a matchup with implications at both ends of the Premier League table. For this betting tip, we’ll be looking at the match between West Ham United and Everton at the London Stadium.
While balancing both European football and the Premier League, West Ham have lost pace in the race for European football. The Hammers are into the Europa League quarter finals, but alternating wins and losses in their last four domestically has left David Moyes’ side six points adrift of Arsenal ahead of this weekend’s game.
However, the international break came at a good time for West Ham. It allowed a two-week break and it could mean the possible return of Jarrod Bowen to the starting eleven. The Englishmen has recovered from injury, and he already has eight goals in the Premier League.
While West Ham United juggle Europe and the Premier League, Everton’s sole focus has been to stay in the division. It has been a miserable season for the Toffees, being in a relegation dogfight for most of the year. However, their win against Newcastle before the international break gave them a three-point gap over 18th placed Watford.
Everton will be without Allan in midfield while he serves his suspension from the Newcastle game, but they can welcome back Donny Van De Beek who has recovered from an illness during the internationals.
This game is a six-pointer between two teams at opposing ends of the table. For West Ham United, a win keeps them in the hunt for the Champions League places, and provides them a better opportunity of at least securing European football next season. As for Everton, they could ease their relegation worries with a huge away win at the London Stadium.
Regarding previous fixtures, the two are fairly even. They have alternated wins in the previous three - Everton winning once and West Ham winning twice - with all games finishing 1-0 to the winning side.
The three previous games between the teams finished 1-0, so we will continue the trend. Now West Ham United has the home advantage and they are the much better team on paper, so we say to go with a West Ham United 1-0 win to follow their previous games. This is available with 888Sport at 6/1.
