The Hammers are still showing mediocre level of football but manage to improve league positions and moved up to the 12th place in the league with 25 points gained in 21 matches. In addition, the leader and the best player of the team, Dimitri Payet, decided to leave the club and made few provocative statements. The rest of the team turned their backs on him but clearly they’ll miss his skills on the pitch. Bilic’s men lost six out of their 10 away matches of the season, gained eight points in other four games on the road while aggregate goal difference in these 10 matches is 14-19.
West Ham are undefeated in their recent four matches against Middlesbrough in a row while the reverse matchup in London ended with 1-1 draw earlier this season. However, poor results of West Ham in away matches and riot of Payet give the Boro a chance to battle for points at home clash with the Hammers.
Prediction for the match: Middlesbrough to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
