West Ham hosts Burnley in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 16th at Olympic Stadium (London)
On Monday, West Ham closed the schedule of the cup round. The Hammers played against Stockport, actually an amateur team. It was not easy with it: the Premier League regular scored the only goal only in the 83rd minute (the experienced defender Dawson did it). Albeit harder than expected, the London team managed to win and advance to the next round. On the whole, West Ham leaves a pleasant impression, especially against the background of last season, which was marked by the struggle for survival. Suffice it to say that it was already the 6th victory in the last 11 matches, and the Hammers lost only to Manchester United and Chelsea in this segment.

Burnley had much less time to rest. The Clarets now go through a tighter calendar. The team played in the cup on Saturday, and the match turned out even harder - MK Dons was eliminated only in the penalty shootout, and before that, Vydra leveled the score in the 94th minute. And after 3 days, on Tuesday, Sean Dyche’s charges hosted Manchester United. Of course, the team concentrated on defense and fought back for more than an hour. But Paul Pogba's shot was fatal - he upset Pope in the 71st minute. Nevertheless, Sean's team was quite good again, confirming that it is holding at a fairly high level. Before that 0-1 defeat, Burnley gained 10 points in the last five rounds. Moreover, such opponents as Arsenal and Wolverhampton were beaten. Perhaps, the change of ownership helped to improve the results - neither the manager nor the players wanted to lose their jobs. As a result, the Clarets are five or more points ahead of the three outsiders (16 points scored in 16 matches).
Burnley has improved its game in recent months after a tough start, but West Ham is rightfully the favorite in this pair. Taking into account the field factor, you can bet on the home team to win.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win
