West Ham vs. Arsenal Preview

West Ham

West Ham didn’t win for the past six matches, losing two and recording four ties. However, that isn’t of any consolation to the fans, who are devastated following the most recent game their favorites played. Manchester United blew the Hammers into pieces at the Old Trafford, 3-0.

We can’t say that the guests didn’t have their chances, but in the end, the result was pretty disturbing for any West Ham fan. Believe it or not, the last team Hammers defeated was Arsenal at the Emirates, 0-2, in late December.

The positive thing for David Moyes’ gang is that it rarely loses at home. That didn’t happen in the previous ten meetings at the London Stadium, with the Hammers winning six and notching four draws.

Arsenal

Following a very turbulent and mediocre December, the Gunners have finally caught their rhythm. Mikel Arteta and his boys have three wins in a row, scoring ten times. But not only that, the team from the Emirates is back in the title race.

Their 3-1 win over Liverpool changed the club’s entire mood because they not only defeated a big rival but also cut its lead in the Premier League standings. Prior to that, the Gunners smashed Crystal Palace 5-0 and beat Nottingham on the road 2-1.

This was the fourth meeting in the past five in which we saw over 2.5 goals. When looking only at the away games, the last four were with a moderate efficiency, meaning 2 or 3 goals, and also with both teams netting.

West Ham vs Arsenal Head to Head

The Hammers triumphed at the Emirates on December 28, 0-2. Soucek and Mavropanos had a goal each, to calm down the home team fans. To be honest, Arsenal blew away the guests, who had only 26% of the ball possession.

This was the third direct meeting in a row in which Hammers didn’t lose to Arsenal.

West Ham vs. Arsenal Predictions

West Ham, at home, is one of the nastiest teams in Europe. No matter the rivals, the Hammers will attack and try to be aggressive. Arsenal knows how to behave in those situations, that’s for sure, and we witnessed that in the past. Still, both teams netting would be the best pick, as we frequently see West Ham at home and the Gunners on the road playing games with goals on both ends.

Our verdict: Both teams scoring
