West Ham vs Stoke Prediction and Football tips
Premier League football tips – West Ham vs Stoke prediction.
West Ham really need to start picking up some points, with only one victory in the last ten, while Stoke City have lost three in a row and both sides will see this as a game to ‘go for it’.
Probable Line-ups
West Ham: 4-3-2-1 formation: Adrian; Cresswell, Reid, Collins, Jenkinson; Kouyate, Song, Noble; Downing, Nolan; Sakho
Stoke: 4-4-2 formation: Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Wilson; Ireland, N’Zonzi, Whelan, Adam; Walters, Diouf
The Hammers haven’t scored enough goals recently, with an average of only 0.6 goals per game over the last 10, while conceding nearly two goals per game with 1.8. Stoke City on the other hand have scored 1.3 goals per game and again have conceded more than they have scored in the last 10 with 1.6. It’s not good enough from both clubs and needs to be eradicated.
Both sides have had at least half of their last 10 fixtures to include 2.5 goals or more, with West Ham being involved in five and Stoke being involved in six, so while neither side’s form is great, we can expect some goals in this one if form is anything to go by.
Form is a chance thing in the Premier League, one week a side can lose 3-0 and the next win 5-1, so it’s difficult to call.
The last time the two sides met, it was a hotly contested 2-2 draw as West Ham came back from two goals down.
This one will be a draw again, with both teams scoring at 7/2 with Bet365
