West Ham United vs Everton prediction 29.10.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 29th October 2023
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET
• Venue: London Stadium (London)

Since their re-entry into the Premier League in the 2012/13 season, West Ham has predominantly been a mid-table team. They began this season impressively, sparking hopes of a potential higher finish. However, recent disappointing results have grounded these aspirations. They are currently on a three-match winless streak across all competitions, having lost their most recent game 2-1 against Olympiacos on the road. The teams were evenly matched, but Olympiacos’ superior finishing tipped the scales in their favor. Now, West Ham is set to host Everton, hoping to end their losing streak and secure a much-needed victory under the leadership of David Moyes.

Everton narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season, and it looks like they might face a similar struggle this year. So far, they’ve only managed to secure seven points from nine league matches, putting them just three points above the relegation zone. Their troubles may increase as the Premier League is considering a 12-point deduction for Everton due to their breach of financial fair play rules. If this happens, there’s a strong chance we could see Goodison Park’s team competing in the Championship next season.

Everton has been defeated in two of their last three games. Their latest loss was a 2-0 defeat on the road against Liverpool. The home team was in control, boasting 77% ball possession and 26 shots on goal, which unsurprisingly led to another loss for Everton.

West Ham vs Everton pick: Over 2.5 goals 

Recently, both of these teams have been involved in high-scoring matches. West Ham surpassed 2.5 goals in all of their last four games, while Everton did the same in four out of their last five games. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 goals would be the safest prediction for this match.
