Burnley vs West Ham United Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of the last six meetings.
• Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in West Ham’s last six league games.
• Five of Burnley’s last six home games have produced at least four goals.

West ham are putting up a fight

When West Ham suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on January 6 it seemed they were doomed to spend next season in the Championship, but the Hammers have shown some fight in the last few weeks.

They bounced back with a late win at Tottenham and a home success over Sunderland and they will be cursing that they allowed a two-goal lead to slip at Chelsea last week when they were beaten by Enzo Fernandez’s injury-time effort.

A win there would have taken them to three points from safety but the performance was still a good building block and seven goals in their last three games suggest that a victory at Burnley on Saturday is well within their scope.

Future looks bleak for Burnley

Their Lancastrian hosts are five points worse off than Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and look doomed as they have not won any of their last 15 league matches.

They did produce a couple of plucky 2-2 home draws against Manchester United and Tottenham and held Liverpool to a 1-1 at Anfield, but manager Scott Parker felt let down by their performance in Monday’s 3-0 loss at Sunderland.

So the visitors look the most likely winners and a positive attitude should be guaranteed, so correct-score punters may be tempted to look at a repeat of the 3-2 win West Ham posted when the teams met at the London Stadium in November.

Bowen is the Hammers’ main man

West Ham continue to put enormous faith in their captain Jarrod Bowen getting them out of trouble and he looks by far their most likely goalscorer as he has had more than double the number of shots on target than any of his teammates in the Premier League this term.

His opener at Stamford Bridge was his eighth of the league campaign and he can find the net again in such a key game.
