Why Bet on West Ham?

West Ham didn’t manage to make the season of their dreams, far from it, but at least they didn’t stay among the last teams of the Premier League. The hiring of Paquetá, Kehrer, Aguerd, and Scamacca, all international in their countries, which was received with great enthusiasm by the fans, did not give immediate results, and the team is still looking for patterns to find the best starting 11. Additionally, players that were a cornerstone of their success in the last seasons have been poor this tournament, such as Bowen, Fornals, Lanzini, Coufal, and Souček.

Receiving and stopping Arsenal will be no easy feat, as the Premier League leaders tend to play offensively anywhere. West Ham has lost 15 games so far and has one of the worst defenses in the Premier League. Putting together a strategy that favors caution and defensive organization will not be a bad idea to face a team of this size.

Why Bet on Arsenal?

Arsenal is just a few steps away from lifting the Premier League champions trophy, but to get there it is necessary to beat West Ham, away from home, and win their 7 remaining games next. Coach Arteta’s players are extremely motivated, as they have won 4 of their last 5 games and have already scored an incredible 72 goals this season.

Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are the athletes who most participate in Arsenal’s goal plays, contributing with passes, finalizations, and a lot of movement. The solid and talented midfield is one of the great pillars of this team, which has managed to maintain concentration since the beginning of the season and overcome the distrust of fans and opponents.

Final Betting Analysis: West Ham vs. Arsenal

This is the kind of match where there is not much to say. The Hammers have been the type of team that put its tail between its legs in front of powerful, competitive teams, remembering their loss against Chelsea in the early season after Cornet’s wonder goal was invalidated, and their recent humiliation by Newcastle.

However, this Gunners’ side comes knowing that is now or never. They have some experienced players accustomed to winning trophies (their ex-Man City athletes, ironically), but most of the squad is experiencing this kind of thing in the league for the first time.

Nervousness is dangerous, but the truth is that both could be feeling the same way, as just one mistake, and everything could become much harder in the season.

We believe in Arsenal’s victory in this match.

If you put $100 into Arsenal’s win, you could get $55 back for a total payout of $155.
