West Ham vs Arsenal Match Preview

West Ham took another step towards securing the league with a 1-0 win at Fulham last weekend. In the first half they were better, leading with an own goal while having opportunities to double their goals. In the second half, the home team attacked, but with the help of luck, they were able to keep a clean sheet, with the team creating dangerous counter-attacks.

With this victory, West Ham reached 30 points and are in 15th place in the Premier League, just 3 more than the bottom three. On Thursday night, West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw at Ghent for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League quarter-final stage. Now they will look for the victory in the replay at their home next Thursday to be the one who will qualify for the semi-finals of the competition.

Arsenal left Anfield with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the derby of the previous matchday. A result that does not leave them satisfied based on the development of the match as in the first half hour of the match they took a two-goal lead. However, shortly before the break, they accepted the reduction of the score and in the second half, with the home team pressing, they could not stand it and conceding a second goal in the last minutes of the match, they were limited to a draw.

Thus Arsenal reached 70 points and after Saturday afternoon's victory of Manchester City over Leicester, they saw the difference between them reduced to three points.

Arsenal dropped two valuable points in the derby against Liverpool and are looking to return to success today to increase their points gap with second-placed City. West Ham, for their part, want the victory that will raise them in the standings and move them further away from the danger zone. I expect an interesting match with many chances and goals and my choice is Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.80
