On Wednesday, December 15, 2021, the 17th round of the English Premier League will conclude with an interesting match in London. In this city, Arsenal will host another team from the capital, West Ham United, at the Emirates Arena. The upcoming London derby will start at 23:00 Moscow time.
The mere fact that we are waiting for another London derby makes the prediction for the Arsenal vs West Ham match in demand. We hope that our assumption will be justified and will help you to make the right bet on the upcoming game.
Arsenal
It seems like Mikel Arteta’s team will continue to swing in the standings. The team’s lack of stability in their games has negatively affected their results. After losing 1-3 to Everton on Matchday 15, the Canaries managed to play the next game with flying colors. Their 3-0 win over Southampton was more than convincing. Ahead of the game with West Ham, Mikel Arteta’s team has 26 points and occupies 6th place in the standings.
West Ham United
The Hammers were frankly disappointing in their previous match; otherwise, how else can one explain the pale zero draw in the game with Burnley? This is after David Moyes’ team had won 3-2 in a crucial match with the Aristocrats. Ahead of the match with Arsenal, the Hammers are in 4th position in the standings with 28 points.
Head-to-head statistics
The upcoming capital derby between Arsenal and West Ham will be their 145th meeting. Until then, the Canaries won 68 games; while in 35 games, success was on the side of the Hammers. In 41 games, a draw was recorded.
Prediction
The game will be a tough one, so there is no need to count on a big score. In such a situation, a bet on the total/more than 2.5 can be considered optimal. That is our prediction for the Arsenal vs West Ham match.
Probable result — total/over 2.5.
