West Ham United Stoke City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two technically balanced teams. The home team is stronger in offense, but Stoke is more solid in defence. Therefore, there is a tendency for an open match, with goal opportunities for both teams, so we believe there will be a few goals in the final score.

Preview
West Ham and Stoke face at Boleyn Ground, in a match for the 16th round of the Premier League. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 2 draws and 1 win for each team in the last 4 head‑to‑heads. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Premier League, was on 11‑04‑2015, they tied (1‑1). A. Cresswell (7' ) scored for West Ham and M. Arnautović (90' ) for Stoke. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 7th and 11th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 14th best team in home matches and the 7th best in away matches.

Analysis West Ham

After 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 7th position, havinf won 23 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Manchester United by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against West Bromwich Albion. Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 14 points in away matches and only 9 at their stadium. In the last 7 home league matches West Ham has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 21 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 home matches for this competition. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

After a mediocre performance in the last edition of the Premier League, West Ham improved a lot this season and is currently in the 7th position of the league, fighting for a Europa League standing. However, in the last matches their exhibitions have been disappointing, so they only won 2 of the last 9 matches. Therefore, they should try to recover and win again, but in this match against Stoke City coach Slaven Bilić cannot count on Payet, Valencia, Lanzini, Sakho and Jarvis, who are injured, apart from Michail Antonio, who is unlike to recover from his injury in time.

Confirmed Lineup: Adrián, James Tomkins, Aaron Cresswell, Angelo Ogbonna, James Collins, Alex Song, Mark Noble, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Michail Antonio, Mauro Zárate, Andy Carroll.

Analysis Stoke

The away team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 22 points won, after 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Sunderland, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Manchester City, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 12 points in away matches and 10 at their stadium, with 7 goals scored and 7 conceded at home, against 6 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Stoke has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 24 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (0'‑15'); they have conceded 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Stoke City finished the last edition of the Premier League in the 9th position, far from the relegation zone, but also from a Europa League standing. This season, despite the current 11th position, they are only 1 point behind West Ham, so they wish to use this opportunity to enter the fight for a Europa League standing. To do so they need to win against West Ham, but they are aware of the problems they are to face. But the away team is motivated by the last away results, since they have lost only 1 of the last 5 away matches. Coach Mark Hughes cannot count on Crouch and Muniesa, who are injured. Odemwingie and Given are also injured, but should recover in time to play this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Jack Butland, Glen Johnson, Erik Pieters, Geoff Cameron, Ryan Shawcross, Philipp Wollscheid, Ibrahim Afellay, Glenn Whelan, Marco van Ginkel, Bojan Krkić, Marko Arnautović.
