The West Ham vs Arsenal prediction from bookmakers sees the Gunners in the role of favorites before the direct duel, as already indicated. However, such a cup match is of course always tricky, even more so because in the EFL Cup like once properly rotated.

West Ham have had a couple of rather mixed games lately. The Hammers have to improve, that’s a key point. Anyway, our West Ham vs Arsenal tip is that both teams will score.

West Ham – Statistics & current form

West Ham United have improved a bit compared to last season in the Premier League. The start of the season was far from perfect, but much better than last season. Jarrod Bowen, who has scored six times, has been at the center of this. David Moyes has given his team more stability again and the squad was strengthened across the board in the summer, which was an important step. On the last matchday, however, there was a 0:1 against Everton, which caused headaches.

Because West Ham was definitely not bad in the game, but had no solutions in the offensive game. The result was a number of half-chances, many long-range shots and unfinished attacks. West Ham has 16 goals from ten games in the league and six more in the Europa League. However, conceding 17 goals is the other side of the coin. Defensively, West Ham is not always secure.

In addition, there has been a change in the negative trend recently. West Ham failed to win its last four competitive games. Now, however, with opponents like Brentford, Nottingham and Burnley, there are three feasible games in the league ahead. However, these games will have to be successful. The cup match against Arsenal, on the other hand, is more of a bonus game, especially in this competition.

West Ham wants to buck the trend

The only worrying thing for West Ham recently was the game at Aston Villa (1:4), otherwise there were many opportunities to get good results, but in the end failed because of small things. Against Newcastle there was a 2:2, which was absolutely positive. It will also be interesting to see which personnel coach Moyes sends on the pitch. Some players are tired, but rhythm on the pitch would de facto also do the team good.

A cup match always has very special omens, especially when an early goal is scored, a team has to react quickly. Due to the circumstances, our prediction before the West Ham vs Arsenal match is that both teams will score.

Predicted lineup of West Ham:
Areola – Johnson, Zouma, Mavropanos, Emerson – Alvarez, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Fornals, Benrahma – Antonio

Dancing on several high tides is important and right in order to be able to send the young players onto the field.

The away games in the league have gone very well so far. Ten points have been scored in four games, and only two goals have been conceded. In any case, Arsenal looks better defensively than last season, eight goals conceded after ten games is a very good record. 23 own goals also show very clearly that the offense continues to live very well.
