West Ham vs Southampton – On Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium, West Ham will play host to Southampton in the relegation six-pointer.
After a convincing 6-0 victory over Cypriot team AEK Larnaca in the continental competition, the Hammers will be hoping to carry their Conference League form into the domestic league.
For David Moyes and his team, three consecutive matches without a loss across competitions, when you add the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in the previous league game.
Given that a loss here could send the hosts to the bottom of the Premier League rankings, they will need this winning momentum very much on Sunday.
Southampton, who are presently in 20th place despite holding both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur to draws in the previous three league rounds, currently holds this position.
In the previous round’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at St. Mary’s Stadium, Ruben Selles’ team displayed tremendous grit by overcoming two different two-goal deficits.
We must admit, though, that in their prior four league away games, the Saints have only managed to score once. In the previous five games at London Stadium, West Ham has three victories and two ties. They have only allowed two goals total during the campaign.
West Ham vs Southampton – Betting Analysis
Southampton will enter this match with two victories and two ties from their previous four meetings with the Hammers. But in their prior 38 home games against the Saints, West Ham had 21 wins, 7 ties, and 10 losses.
