WHU (West Ham United) vs EVFC (Everton) Match Prediction
England
London Stadium
West Ham United travelled to Aston Villa in their last game in the Premier League. Villa dominated the game from the start and piled pressure on the Hammers right from the start. Douglas Luiz and Watkins went extremely close in the first 16 minutes. The deadlock was broken in the 30th minute as Douglas Luiz ripped a powerful shot from Watkins’ layoff to beat Areola in goal. West Ham also started the 2nd half horrendously as Alvarez tripped Konsa in the box awarding Villa a penalty. Douglas Luiz got his 2nd of the night by converting from the spot.
Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham some hope as his shot from absolutely nothing deflected off Pau Torres and went into the goal. West Ham couldn’t cope with Villa’s pressure as Watkins scored a lovely goal by cutting onto his weaker foot and beating Areola with a rifle shot. Leon Bailey came off the bench to score a quick counter off the bench and seal the win for Villa handing West Ham a big loss.
The Hammers were also beaten midweek in the Europa League by Olympiacos. Kostas Fortounis scored the opener in the 33rd minute. Rodinei doubled Olympiacos’ lead in the 45th minute. West Ham United pulled one back through Lucas Paqueta in the 87th minute but the goal came too late as West Ham succumbed to back-to-back defeats in all competitions.
Everton started off the game pretty swiftly as Calvert-Lewin cushioned his header straight into Allison’s arms. Liverpool had early chances but Everton’s defence was there to counter everything. Sean Dyche’s midfield and defence were very combative giving Liverpool’s attackers no space. Ashley Young who was already on a yellow card made a silly last-ditch challenge on Luis Diaz. The veteran defender caught Diaz and was given his marching orders by the referee.
Everton’s best chance came through Dwight McNeil as his shot took a nick of Van Dijk and sailed over the post. Liverpool was all over Everton in the second half and their attack bore fruit as Diaz’s cross hit Micheal Keane’s outstretched arm. The referee immediately pointed to the spot. Salah scored calmly past Pickford to give Liverpool the lead. Everton couldn’t penetrate Liverpool’s defence with 10 men as the hosts kept charging on for the 2nd goal. The Reds killed the game on the counterattack as Nunez nicely played a through ball to Salah to easily finish past Pickford in the 7th minute of added time.

- Everton did quite well as the away side when they visited West Ham United's home stadium. The Toffees have their best away record against West Ham United in the Premier League.

West Ham United vs Everton Chance of Winning
In the recent encounters between West Ham United and Everton, the head-to-head is in massive favour of the team from Merseyside. In the last 33 games, the Toffees have won 17 matches, and the Hammers have come out on top 7 times. 9 games ended in a stalemate.
What makes West Ham United the favourites in this game is their home form. West Ham United have played 4 games at home this season and have won 2, drawn 2 and lost just once against Manchester City. The London Stadium has been a good hunting ground for West Ham United. West Ham also have the personnel to get the job done.
The likes of Bowen, Paqueta, Soucek, Kudus and Antonio are heavy hitters. And not to forget James Ward-Prowse who is probably the best player in the League when it comes to set-pieces and free-kicks.
Everton on the other hand should have been very proud of how they started against Liverpool. The Toffees restricted Liverpool very well and the whole game turned for Everton when Ashley Young got sent off. Everton showed that they can shut teams down but it remains to be seen if they can score goals because, in the end, it is goals that win you games.

West Ham United vs Everton Predictions and Betting Tips
According to the bookmakers, this game between West Ham United and Everton is very close in terms of the odds. We expect this game to be quite competitive as both teams are quite equally poised.
We expect West Ham United to have less of the ball even though they are the home team. Everton is a side this season that has been very attacking but it's their finishing in the final third that has let them down. We expect Everton to have the same number of shots compared to West Ham United. The Hammers are however the more clinical of the two sides.
This game could also be a feisty affair as both team’s midfielders have quite a combative edge to them. The likes of Soucek, Onana, Doucoure, and Alvarez could have yellow cards shown at them. We expect this game to produce over 3.5 yellow cards for both teams combined.
We also believe that both teams will score in this game. The chances however are very high for West Ham to get a goal in this one. If you want to back someone to keep a clean sheet then we suggest backing West Ham United as Everton has had a horrible time in terms of finding the back of the net this season.
We believe that the favourite to be on the scoresheet for West Ham is Jarrod Bowen. The English winger is the talisman of West Ham United and showed his ability against Aston Villa last week. Although his goal was quite fortunate, still Bowen can score from anything. Bowen’s pace and technique could be worrying for Mykolenko at left-back.
For Everton, goals have been shy and dry but if the Toffees do score then there is only one name that can go as a favourite and that is Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The English striker is Everton’s talisman and has been their top scorer in most of the recent seasons. Whenever Calvert-Lewin starts that is when Everton tends to play better. His physical and goal threat is immense and could cause West Ham defenders some problems on Sunday.
Final Prediction: West Ham United to beat Everton.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win
West Ham United
Everton on the other hand can pull out a surprise. Sean Dyche’s team is very unpredictable. The Toffees are not playing badly but have not made most of their chances with luck also not taking their side. We expect Everton to give West Ham a run for their money and fight for this game. However, we believe that West Ham will edge past Everton. Our prediction is a 2-1 West Ham United win at the London Stadium.
