West Ham United hosts Norwich City in round 4 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 31st at Olympic Stadium (London)
Having held 3 starting rounds, the London team has already managed to lose to Manchester City with a crushing 0-5 score (nothing was surprising), play a draw with Brighton and beat Watford, which cannot roll into the season. In all games, except for a meeting with City, where it simply took the Londoners apart, West Ham showed good potential in attack, in particular in creating dangerous attempts due to a short and medium pass. It is worth noting that the players of the attack group began to act more competently in the opponent’s penalty area, choosing rather advantageous positions. Thus, in the game with Watford, the Hammers scored all 3 goals after combinations in the foreign penalty area. Separately, it is worth singling out the newcomer to the club, Sebastien Haller, who has already scored twice and caused problems for the defenders throughout the match. Besides, the players of Manuel Pellegrini added when running in the counterattack. If the Hammers make a good impression in the attack, the team is still not reliable in the defense. Defenders often cannot hold the opponent's players. Besides, West Ham is frequently passing too long ahead and becomes very vulnerable to counterattacks without having time to rebuild.

One of the newcomers to the championship, Norwich, started this season pretty well. Yes, there were 2 defeats at the start, but to whom, to Liverpool and Chelsea. As for the last season in the Championship, the Canaries were the most productive team, scoring 93 goals. The club is unlikely to repeat this in the elite division, but Norwich still managed to transfer part of its attacking potential to the Premier League. Thus, it scored in all 3 rounds. It can be seen that the team is not afraid of eminent rivals, and even losing with a big score, it can answer with a goal scored. The Canaries are trying to deliver the ball to the foreign penalty area as quickly as possible + the team carefully manages their moments, trying to squeeze the most out of them. However, when playing in their box, the players are not very reliable an often make serious mistakes in choosing a position. In general, it will be difficult for Norwich to play with top teams, but with the clubs of West Ham level, the Canaries must and will snap.
We are waiting for a very interesting match, where the teams will wage a bitter struggle. Both one and the other are experiencing quite serious problems in the defense, but both teams try to play, mostly in the attack. So, both teams will have a lot of dangerous attempts throughout the game. Therefore, I propose to chose a reliable bet, Both to score: yes. West Ham will certainly be able to score in the home field using the free zones that the Canaries will leave, but the hosts are unlikely to keep a clean sheet. Norwich will surely manage to take advantage of some kind of failure in the opponent’s pivot zone and score a goal in a quick attack.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes
