West Ham Betting Preview

West Ham has mostly been a disappointment this season and currently sits in 17th place in the standings having picked up 19 points. Last Saturday West Ham faced off against Newcastle United, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Lucas Paqueta scored in the 32nd minute to tie the game, but they couldn’t find the back of the net again. They had 37 percent of the possession and one shot on target. Maxwel Cornet and Kurt Zouma are both dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. Alphonse Areola is dealing with an ankle injury and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to go in this game. 

Chelsea Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Chelsea who currently sit in 9th place in the standings having picked up 30 points. Each of the last two games has ended in a 0-0 draw for Chelsea. Over the last three games, Chelsea has scored only one goal total. In the last game, they had 67 percent of the possession and three shots on target. N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, Christian Pulisic, and Armando Broja are all still dealing with long term injuries and aren’t going to be able to go in this game. Reece James and Ben Chilwell are both back though and they need him to be good here. 

Shane’s Free Pick

This Chelsea squad is struggling heading into this game and will be an issue again in this game. I expect West Ham’s defense is going to be good here, and that is going to be the difference as this game is lower scoring. Look for a 1-0 or a 1-1 type of game and the under is going to cash.
