The upcoming clash between Everton and West Ham is predicted to swing in favor of the home side, with a 58.0% probability of an Everton victory. Currently positioned at 15th in the Premier League standings, Everton will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage against 16th-placed West Ham. The match is expected to be a low-scoring affair, with a 47.0% chance of staying under 2.5 goals.

Match Analysis

In recent fixtures, Everton has shown resilience but has been unable to secure a win, drawing their last three games. They have displayed a consistent scoring ability, netting a total of four goals across these matches. However, their defense has been equally leaky, conceding four goals as well. The Toffees' advanced metrics suggest they are capable of creating chances, with an average of 1.982 expected goals, yet their defense remains a concern with no clean sheets in the last five games. West Ham, on the other hand, has experienced a mixed bag of results, winning two of their last three encounters, including a notable away victory against Arsenal. Their recent performances indicate a solid defense, achieving two clean sheets. Despite this, their attacking output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game over the last five matches. Their expected goals metrics reveal a similar pattern, with 1.466 expected goals scored, highlighting their need for improved finishing.

Final Prediction

Everton's slight edge in predicted victory can be attributed to their home advantage and consistent goal-scoring ability. However, West Ham's potential to keep things tight at the back could pose a challenge. A key factor to watch will be Everton's ability to convert their expected goals into actual goals, which could be crucial in determining the outcome of the match. Fans should keep an eye on Everton's attacking play to see if they can break through West Ham's defense.
