West Ham United Southampton betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a head to head between two offensive teams. Southampton is highly motivated and has had great exhibitions in the last matches. Therefore, we believe it will be an open match with goal opportunities for both teams, which means there is a clear tendency for a few goals in the final score.
