Everton vs West Ham: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

With only goal difference separating the two teams, the recent form suggests to us that Everton will be the likely victors in their game against West Ham United on Saturday.

The Toffees are winless in their last three matches. However, the home side are still unbeaten in their previous five games in the Premier League and have shown excellent potency in attack, scoring first in four of their last five games.

The Hammers have been inconsistent at best under Graham Potter, with the away side losing three of their last five Premier League matches following their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

Away from home, the Irons have only won once under Potter, but in context, it took place at the Emirates in a 1-0 win against Arsenal, so it could provide a positive note for the visitors.

Everton’s record under David Moyes at Goodison Park places them as favourites for this game, and we are backing them to secure a 2-0 win against the Hammers.
