Our prediction for the match West Ham vs Southampton
Being under the leadership of Moyes, the club from the capital of England won a trophy in 2023 (moreover, that was an international achievement – the Conference League). Speaking about the following season, it played in the spring play-offs of a more prestigious tournament, the Europa League. At the same time, it managed to get 52 points in the Premier League, finishing in 9th position. Southampton spent that season in the Championship. On the one hand, it immediately returned to the elite division of the country, on the other hand, it had to go through a difficult play-off.
As for the Premier League, the newcomer, with all experience and good financial influence from the owner, managed only one thing: to update the division’s anti-records. No one has ever been relegated so quickly and early – the long-awaited “point” was put in early April, after a 1-3 misfire in the meeting with Tottenham. Still, the club lost in the previous round to Aston Villa. Speaking about the representatives of London, they were also disappointed – the bet on Lopetegui did not work at all, and considerable investments in the squad were wasted. Little has changed with Potter either. The club finished the winter with victories over Arsenal and Leicester, but then it alternated again only defeats and draws. The game with Liverpool brought a 1-2 result.
Lucas Paquetá and his teammates score 1.13 goals per round. They concede almost one and a half times more – 1.69. The main outsider has got a corresponding goal ratio: 0.72/2.41.
