LiontipsWest Ham vs Celta. Prediction (odds 3.50) and bets on a friendly match
Command Analysis
West Ham finished only ninth in the Premier League last season and were left without European competition. In the summer, the team was headed by Julen Lopetegui, who himself has high goals. So far, not everything has worked out for the Spanish specialist. Under his leadership, the Hammers played four friendly matches, in which they won only one victory. In the two previous friendlies, they recorded defeats with the same score of 1:3 from Wolverhampton and Crystal Palace during the American tour.
Last season, Celta avoided the fight for survival and did not aspire to anything more than a final 13th place in the middle of the table in Primera. The team is currently actively playing numerous friendlies with opponents of various levels. In six friendly matches played, there was only one defeat from Lille (1:3). In the last game in England, they managed to confidently beat Luton Town (3:1).

11.50Tip and bets
We believe that the bookmakers' line somewhat underestimates the attacking potential of the opponents. West Ham played four friendlies and three of them saw more than two goals scored. In two previous friendly matches involving Celta, the total was also over. It is unlikely that the teams will play defensively today.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
West Ham lost the previous two friendlies and today in front of their fans will clearly try to achieve a positive result. However, Celta successfully holds friendly matches and does not intend to give in either. In general, the chances of winning are very equal and a draw will be a logical outcome.
Second bet - draw for 3.50
Bet on the first half
It should be noted that in the last three friendly matches, West Ham ended the first half with a draw, which we expect to happen today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.27
