West Ham to win

West Ham’s form has been patchy of late as they’ve had to balance the league with a realistic shot at European glory in the Europa League. However, the Hammers have held it together at home with three wins and a draw in their last four home matches, including two straight victories.

Everton broke a four-game losing streak in the league with a last-gasp win over Newcastle but then lost 4-0 to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup just three days later.

Over 2.5 goals in the match

The bookies have the over and under 2.5 goals lines priced evenly meaning there doesn’t look to be too much in this. However, when you break the stats down into home and away for the respective teams you can see the advantage in backing over on this market.

West Ham’s home games this season have had over 2.5 goals 60% of the time, in Everton’s away matches this has occurred 62% of the time.

Preliminary review and match prediction for West Ham United vs Everton

West Ham are seventh in the league and six points behind Arsenal in the race for fourth place having played two more games than the Gooners.

It may be more realistic for the Hammers to qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League. Though they can still challenge for European qualification in some form if they go on a decent run.

Home form is what has kept West Ham hanging around the European places and a win here will be absolutely crucial with the Hammers facing tough matches towards the end of April as well as potentially a Europa League campaign still in full flow.

Everton are three points clear from relegation currently while having played two less games than Watford in 18th place.

In a match against Newcastle that will be remembered for a goal-post protest more than anything, Everton snuck away with all three points thanks to Alex Iwobi’s 99th minute goal – despite being down to ten men – deep into the stoppage time caused by the protest.

The Toffees may have got lucky with that one as the 4-0 defeat in the FA Cup to Crystal Palace would have sent Everton crashing back down to Earth.

Everton may have to hope for an off day on West Ham’s part or for them to have one eye on Thursday night’s Europa League fixture.

Get Rich Quick

West Ham are normally a better second half team and often go into half-time level with this happening in 14 out of their 30 matches this season and the Hammers would occupy fourth place if the league was based on second half play only.

West Ham to be drawing at half-time and winning at full-time is priced at 4.75 and has happened in all of the Hammers’ last three victories.

West Ham United vs Everton Team News

Jarrod Bowen might be available for selection for West Ham; however, Vladimir Coufal and Angelo Ogbonna remain out.

Allan is suspended after his sending off against Newcastle meaning Donny van de Beek could be asked to play deeper in midfield. Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks set to start which will be a welcome boost for Everton.

Possible Starting Lineups

West Ham United: Fabianski, Johnson, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals, Antonio

Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, van de Beek, Doucoure, Gordon, Gray, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin

Highlighted Player – Jarrod Bowen

If Bowen does play this will be a massive boost for West Ham. The influential winger has chipped in with eight goals and eight assists so far and the downturn in form seemed to coincide with his absence.
