Tip and bets
We will back West Ham in this fixture. The team beat Viborg in their first Conference League qualifier this week, but they still are without points in the Premier League. The Hammers will strive to use home advantage to collect their first points.
Our prediction — West Ham to win
We don't expect this to be a high-scoring game. Probably the visitors will focus on their defenses and try to hold West Ham to a draw. In two of the last three head-to-head games, the teams didn't score more than three goals, and we predict a similar performance tonight.
Second bet— total under 2.5 goals
