Everton vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 02/03/2024, 01:48  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

It's been a good week so far for Everton with four points added to their total without even playing a match. The reduction in their points deduction has taken them to 15th and they host West Ham United who are eighth. The Toffees now need to start earning more points on the pitch. They are now five points above the relegation zone but have played a game more than 18th placed Luton Town. Last week saw them get a 1-1 draw at Brighton but they have gone six games without a win. Just one of their last 13 matches in all competitions has been won, an away win at Burnley last December. Home form has seen them win three of their 13 league games. Those matches have only seen 29 goals scored in them. Seven of their last nine matches have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them.

West Ham are still in with a good chance of again qualifying for Europe next season. Midweek saw them beat Brentford 4-2 at home and they are now only behind seventh place on goal difference. That was a welcome win for the Hammers who had gone eight games without a win before that victory over struggling Brentford. The Irons had lost their previous three games without scoring and conceding 11 goals. Everton aren't such prolific scorers though and our tip for this game is under 2.5 goals to be scored.
