West Ham United vs Southampton Prediction 25 September 2016

Tournament: Premier League
Location: Olympic Stadium
Match date: 09/25/2016 at 16:00

West Ham United host Southampton at Olympic Stadium on the EPL matchday 6.

First of all, we should say West Ham United suffer from incredible problems in the defensive line. No wonder, they conceded 8 goals in their last 2 Premier League matches. In fact, the Hammers have one of the leakiest defenses, only Stoke City allowed more.

Still one should remember the hosts have good attacking potential. Bilic’s side scored in their 18 PL games in a row. No surprises here, considering top-level attackers of the Hammers. We should single out Lanzini, Payet and Antonio who is one of the best goalscorers this season.

Last season West Ham were fourth in goals scored and they are expected to find a back of a net of the Saints. They scored 34 goals in 19 games. They managed to maintain this high scoring this season as well as both teams managed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches. There’s no reason to believe something will change this time.

Southampton played 3 games which contained goals from both sides this season. Although, the visitors are rather pragmatic side, they are rather high-scoring. Last season the Saints scored 59 goals. They may not be that dangerous in away games, but West Ham are able to allow at least one goal against any opponent. Moreover, both West Ham United and Southampton managed to scored at least once in their last 5 head-to-heads.
