West Ham vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips (30 November)

Considered a contender for European places, West Ham does not meet expectations at all and today occupies 14th place in the Premier League. The London team is 6 points ahead of the red zone and 4 behind in 6th place. The Hammers have displayed too much irregularity until now. During the last 5 days, they lost twice, for 2 wins and 1 draw. After falling to Nottingham Forest 3-0 and being held to a draw at home by Everton 0-0, West Ham reacted last Monday by winning against Newcastle 0-2. Close to the title in both previous years, Arsenal is well behind on its progress this season.

Mikel Arteta's men are currently 4th in the Premier League and are already 9 points behind leader Liverpool. Authors of an interesting start to the championship, they however went through a bad patch, marked by a series of 4 matches without a victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats. The international break has obviously allowed the Gunners to regain their health. Last weekend, they had a convincing success against Nottingham Forest 3-0. This week, Arsenal confirmed this by easily winning against Sporting in the Champions League 1-5.

For West Ham, we must mention the suspensions of starters Edson Alvarez (midfielder) and Kudus (winger) as well as the injury to German international Fullkrug. Former Niçois Todibo, who had managed to earn his place in central defense, came out injured on Monday. It is uncertain this weekend. Scorer on the last day, Czech midfielder Soucek (3 goals in PL) is regularly decisive. Winger Bowen (3 goals and 3 assists in the PL) is the most influential element of the Hammers while Paqueta (2 goals in the PL) struggles to find consistency. Arsenal still has to deal with the defections of the starting defender White and of replacement Tomiyasu.

However, no other absences are to be deplored. All scorers in the Champions League this week, the attackers Saka (4 goals and 8 assists in PL), Havertz (4 goals in PL) and Martinelli (3 goals and 2 assists in PL) could once again make up the attacking trio. Injured for a long time, captain Odegaard returned to the field recently and was decisive with the pass during the last 2 days. Arsenal has the 2nd defense in the championship.
