Southampton vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
A crucial bottom-half battle in the Premier League is on the cards on Boxing Day when Southampton play host to West Ham United at St. Mary’s Stadium. The Saints are rooted to the bottom of the league table while the Hammers are in 14th place after 17 games. Check out our match prediction below!
Southampton are in desperate need of a change in fortunes, as they are being left behind, now six points off second-bottom Ipswich Town. However, they have not excelled in this fixture in recent times, having only managed one victory in their last 11 Premier League games against this opponent (W1 D3 L7). The Irons are unbeaten in their last five visits to St. Mary’s but each of the last three ended in draws.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last 20 league games against teams starting the day bottom of the table and are the favourites to come out on top in this one. Let’s take a look at some other interesting facts.

Southampton - West Ham: Form Analysis
After Ipswich and Wolves picked up wins over the last couple of weeks, Southampton are now the clear favourites to suffer the drop this season, still on only six points after 17 games.
The Saints managed to take a share of the spoils in a goalless draw on the road to Fulham last week, but were perhaps a tad lucky in that regard, having only registered a single shot on target.
That result marked the third consecutive league match in which the Saints have failed to score and left them as the lowest-scoring team in the division with just 11 goals to date.
Southampton have conceded three or more goals in four of their last five home league games!
Meanwhile, West Ham United have been a mixed bag this season, now on 20 points, with a record of five wins, five draws and seven defeats in their 17 games.
The Hammers’ last match ended in a 1-1 draw at home to Brighton & Hove Albion. They are now unbeaten in their last three league matches but have only won one of their last five (W1 D2 L2).
The visitors have taken nine points from a possible 24 on the road this season, but have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four league outings.

Southampton & West Ham Squad Analysis
Southampton were able to welcome Aaron Ramsdale back to the starting lineup last weekend. The England international played a crucial part in the side keeping a clean sheet, making a crucial save from point-blank range to deny Harry Wilson.
Ramsdale’s fellow shot-stopper Gavin Bazunu, along with Juan Larios will remain sidelined with a knock and Achilles injury respectively. Will Smallbone and Ross Stewart are still flagged as doubts.
West Ham United will have to make do without Lucas Paqueta this week due to suspension!
The Brazilian crossed the yellow card threshold against the Seagulls last time out, and the Hammers will sorely miss his creativity in this match. However, his absence could allow summer signing Crysencio Summerville to make the starting lineup.
The only other absentee for the visitors is veteran forward Michail Antonio, who is likely to miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a broken leg in a car accident.

Our Southampton vs West Ham Prediction
It’s getting to be about that time when Southampton can no longer try to grind out draws and have to start trying to notch up a few wins or they are going to find themselves cut adrift in the relegation scrap.
West Ham will certainly be aware of their opponents’ need to try and force the situation and they will be relishing the opportunity to try and play in transition, which is something they have done quite well of late. We feel there will be a few goals in this one. Our Southampton vs West Ham United prediction is both teams to score.
