Arsenal F.C. vs West Ham United F.C. Prediction 28 December 2023
Added on 26 December, 2023
The London derby between Arsenal and West Ham will draw a line under the nineteenth round of the Premier League!
At Christmas, Arsenal are the leaders of the Premier League standings with 40 points and a goal difference of 36:16. In the recent past, the Gunners were remembered for their victories over Wolverhampton (2:1), Luton (4:3) and Brighton (2:0), the 1:1 draw with Liverpool and the 0:1 defeat against Aston Villa.
West Ham spent the same period of the campaign at least no worse, as evidenced by the results of its games with Crystal Palace (1:1), Tottenham (2:1), Fulham (0:5), Wolverhampton (3:0) and Manchester United (2:0). Now the Hammers are sixth with 30 points and a scored-conceded balance of 31:30.
We think the bookmakers are greatly overestimating Arsenal's chances in this match, given West Ham's unpredictability and ability to force a fight on any opponents. They are unlikely that the visiting team will lose to the favorites by more than one goal.
