West Ham United welcome the visitors Watford in the English Premiere League – Round 18. The match will be held on Saturday, December 22nd, at the Olympic Stadium (London).
West Ham United are currently 9th in the table, sharing this position with their Saturday match opponent. The Londoners’ start to the season was unimpressive, but now they have finally kicked into gear. In their last 5 matches, the hosts got 4 wins and lost only once to the great Manchester City. The list of the teams that they’ve beaten is no surprising – Cardiff City, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Fulham are there (all the opponents find themselves in the relegation zone, Fulham are bottom-sided). Anyways, even this victorious streak motivates much, and the players will probably look to build on it.

Watford, who had a blistering start to the season, have definitely receded lately, and they are now behind West Ham by the goal difference. Watford’s goal difference is -2: 23 goals made and 25 goals missed, the London club scored 25 goals and allowed same. The visiting side were running a no-win streak and broke it in the last round match against Cardiff City, 3:2 (the clash was really thrilling, especially in the end). Now the team are down, and it reflects their play, especially the defense. As for the attack, it is not that bad, so, the guests may certainly hope for 1 goal tomorrow.
The Olympic Stadium will see a meeting of two equal teams. The club that win tomorrow may outrun Everton (if the latter concede to Tottenham). Both of the sides have issues in defense and both teams know to score. The favorite are very difficult to define; a goal-pouring may be expected for sure though (over 2.5 goals at least are predicted).
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
