West Ham v Southampton
Sunday 4:00pm BST
We are at the Olympic Stadium this time but if the previous matches at Upton Park have any relevance then this match could have goals. We like Both Teams to Score at 1.70 with Bet365.
West Ham are struggling with only 3 points from a win over Bournemouth on MatchDay 2 to show for their efforts. Southampton have shown a little more and got their first win of the season last week over Swansea.
These 2 teams normally provide an fairly even contest with the record over the last 5 years of Played 8, West Ham 3, Drawn 3, Southampton 2. In London it’s a little more clear cut with 3 wins to the Hammers (1 to S’Hampton) but all were at Upton Park.
The 8 games in our sample show an aggregate of 19 goals scored. The discrepancy again comes at Upton Park – 16 goals in the 4 matches played there and 4 low-scoring matches at St Mary’s.
Interestingly the first goalscorer market has provided some big priced winners in this fixture. Maya Yoshida (twice in last 5 matches) is available at 34.00 today and Mark Noble (twice in last 8 matches) is available at 17.00
