Preview & Prediction: Arsenal FC vs West Ham United FC
Arsenal FC is looking to continue their strong form as they face West Ham United FC in this Premier League clash. Arsenal has been superb at home, currently unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches. They have been in excellent form overall, collecting 13 points from their last five outings. The Gunners have shown attacking prowess, scoring 12 goals in these fixtures. With a solid defense and a tendency to find the back of the net, Arsenal will be aiming to extend their unbeaten streak.
West Ham United, on the other hand, have had a mixed run, securing only 4 points from their last five matches. While they have managed to score in their last seven away games, recent form suggests inconsistency in securing results. The Hammers have struggled, particularly when facing Arsenal historically, with only five wins in their last 36 encounters against the North London club.
Given these trends, Arsenal seems well-positioned to impose their home advantage and continue their impressive run. Expect Arsenal to find the net, given their recent scoring form and West Ham’s vulnerabilities in defense. It could be a challenge for West Ham to break Arsenal’s resolve at home, making a positive result for the home side likely. Considering both teams’ tendency to score in recent matches, there is potential for both sides to get on the scoresheet, though Arsenal appears the stronger contender overall.
