West Ham vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips (19 April)

Expected in the struggle for the last European Strapontins this season, West Ham has not met expectations at all. Indeed, the London formation occupies an unworthy 17th place in the Premier League with, on the other hand, a clear advance of 14 points on the red zone. The Hammers are logically demobilized at the end of the season. They have not won any of their last 5 championship games 2 draws and 3 defeats. Held in check by Everton 1-1 and Bournemouth 2-2, West Ham has otherwise lost, on the smallest of the margins each time, against Newcastle 0-1, Wolverhampton 1-0 and Liverpool last weekend 2-1. With only 10 points taken in 32 games, Southampton lived a real nightmare for his return to the elite this season.

The red lantern is already guaranteed to find the lower level next year. Without solution, the saints have gleaned any success in the last 8 days 1 draw and 7 defeats. They recently took advantage of the support of their fans to share the points with Crystal Palace 1-1. Subsequently, Southampton bowed against Tottenham 3-1 and Aston Villa last weekend 0-3.

West Ham always deplores the absence of striker Antonio, who was the victim of a road accident this season. In addition, we find at the infirmary the side Cresswell and the winger Summerville. Replacing on the last day, the Czech Midfare Soucek (7 goals in PL) could find a starting place this Saturday. The offensive trio should once again be composed of Kudus (3 goals and 2 PL passes), Paqueta (4 PL goals) and Bowen (8 goals and 5 PL passes). Bother by injuries this season, the German striker Fullkrug (3 goals in 12 PL games) could not express the full measure of his talent. For Southampton, the defender replacing Taylor is injured while the participation of the Gronbak winter recruit is not guaranteed.

The good news comes from the suspension return of the important Downes medium. The Mateus Fernandes attacking midfielder (2 goals and 3 PL passes) is available as well as the Uuachu striker (4 PL goals). Southampton has the worst defense and the worst attack in the championship. The probable compositions for West Ham Southampton: West Ham: Areola - Todibo, Mavropanos, Kilman - Wan -Bissaka, Soucek, Ward -Prowse, Scarles (or Emerson) - Kudus, Bowen, Paqueta.Southampton: Ramsdale - Ramsdale - Harwood -Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens - Walker -Peters, Downes, Smallbone, Manning - Mateus Fernandes, Onuachu, Sulemana.
