West Ham United form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for West Ham United at their home stadium (London Stadium) is 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for West Ham, their manager D. Moyes and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

West Ham United are returning here after visiting West Bromwich Albion in a Premier League game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Michail Antonio, Angelo Ogbonna and Tomáš Souček scored the goal(s). Midfielder Tomáš Souček was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.11 (out of ten) in that game. Souček scored one goal.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier West Ham matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and two defeats (from three games).

West Ham have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at London Stadium with 29 goals in 18 league matches.

Southampton form and stats

There's been little loot from Southampton's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 18 away games in the Premier League. Southampton, who have the most conceded goals (40) away in Premier League, only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws. Bitter travels for Southampton as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Sheffield United match.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Leeds United with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Mohammed Salisu was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.43. The defender Salisu hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Fulham.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Southampton playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Southampton have scored 19 goals in 18 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Southampton manager R. Hasenhüttl has some worries about the defense as 40 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Southampton - West Ham 0-0, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - one - three (West Ham wins - draws - Southampton wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
