Preview & Prediction: Everton FC and West Ham United FC

The upcoming match between Everton FC and West Ham United FC promises to be a competitive encounter given their recent form and historical matchups. Everton, currently unbeaten in their last four home games, will be a tough challenge for West Ham’s defense to suppress. They have shown consistent scoring ability, netting 8 goals in their last 5 games and scoring in each of their previous 8 matches. However, Everton needs to shore up their defensive game, having allowed both teams to score in their last five fixtures.

West Ham, on the other hand, faces some attacking challenges, having failed to find the net in two of their recent five games. Despite this, their capability to score on the road remains a highlight, with goals in their last 8 away matches. This suggests potential for both teams to find the back of the net given the attacking form, especially considering the historical trend where BTTS (Both Teams To Score) has frequently occurred in past meetings.

Historically, Everton has a strong head-to-head advantage over West Ham, but both teams share similar points per game statistics at their respective home and away fixtures this season. With Everton’s recent propensity for matches featuring at least 2 goals and West Ham’s average away performance, this game could likely see goals from both sides.

As West Ham aims to overcome their frequency of low-scoring games recently, Everton will look to capitalize on their unbeaten momentum. Expect a match where both teams are probable to get on the scoreboard, leading to an engaging contest at Goodison Park.
