West Ham United hosts Southampton in round 37 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, May 4th at Olympic Stadium (London)
West Ham managed to break an unsuccessful streak. The team beat Tottenham in the derby, inflicting a first defeat to the Spurs in their new stadium. And it cannot be said that the Hammers came off in that meeting. They managed to shoot on goal 16 times in 90 minutes, while in the 2nd half, WHU attacked even more dangerous. As for the previous games, the Hammers had no luck in them. In a match with Leicester, for example, they conceded a deplorable goal in the final minutes. In the way match with MU, the Hammers played better than the Red Devils, but lost because of a referee’s mistake. At Stamford Bridge, West Ham played well in the 2nd half either. That is, the victory of WHU was about to happen and did not become a sensation in the derby with Tottenham.

Cardiff lost to Fulham, which means that Southampton will not leave the Premier League even with 2 defeats in the final games. Therefore, the Saints can practically relax in the away match with West Ham, and then please the fans in a home game with Huddersfield. And even if the team wants, it will be difficult to get 3 points in London. In the last 5 away games, Southampton gained just one victory. It managed to beat Brighton thanks to a single goal attempt in the match. In the away game with Watford, the Saints played more effectively in the attack, but they scored their goal only after a blunder of the Hornets’ defense.
Both teams have no tournament motivation, so the hosts’ desire to win will be stronger. Moreover, West Ham holds the last home match of this season. And the Hammers play very well in their field. In the Premier League, for example, the team lost only 6 games at home; 5 of them were lost to the representatives of the top 10. For comparison, Southampton won only 4 of 18 away games. The Hammers are especially successful at Olympic Stadium in 2019 - just 1 defeat in 9 matches. What is more, they lost only to Everton, which scored 10 points in fights with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the last 2 months, without any goals conceded. In 5 recent home games, WHU smashed 11 goals. It is unlikely that Southampton, which allowed 3 goals in Bournemouth a short while ago, will stand under the pressure of the Hammers.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win with 0.0 handicap
