The Matchday 11 clash in the Premier League between West Ham and Burnley will take place on November 8 at the London Stadium. West Ham vs. Burnley: prediction, betting odds, and statistics.
West Ham
The Londoners secured a long-awaited victory in the last round, only their second in the current championship. Playing at home, the club overcame Newcastle (3-1). Thus, Nuno Espirito Santo finally won his first match with his new club, which had not tasted victory in the previous six Premier League matches (1 draw and 5 defeats). West Ham climbed one spot higher but is still three points away from the safe 17th place.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 7 of the last 8 matches for the Londoners in the Premier League.
- West Ham has achieved only 1 win at home in their last 10 Premier League matches (3 draws and 6 defeats).
- The club has conceded at least two goals in 5 of the last 6 home matches in the championship.
Predicted lineup for West Ham (4-2-3-1)
Alphonse Areola – Max Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, El-Hadji Malik Diouf – Freddie Potts, Lucas Paqueta – Matheus Fernandes, Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville – Callum Wilson.
Forward Niklas Fullkrug, midfielder Oliver Scarles, and defender Konstantinos Mavropanos are out due to injuries.
Burnley
Scott Parker's side played two good matches against their closest competitors in the relegation zone. First, they defeated Leeds (2-0), and then they managed an away victory against Wolverhampton (3-2). However, in the last round at home, Burnley faced the league leader and understandably lost 0-2. The club is currently in 17th place, distancing themselves from West Ham by one win.
- The team has not won in 11 of their last 14 Premier League matches (2 draws and 9 defeats).
- Burnley has lost 5 of their last 6 away matches in the Premier League.
- Three or more goals have been scored in the club's last six matches in the championship.
Predicted lineup for Burnley (4-2-3-1)
Martin Dubravka – Axel Tuanzebe, Kyle Walker, Quilindschy Hartman, Maxime Estève – Lesley Ugochukwu, Florentino – Josh Cullen, Joshua Laurent, Jaidon Anthony – Zian Flemming.

West Ham vs. Burnley: Match Prediction
This is a crucial match for both clubs, with relegation on the line. The Londoners are eager to escape the drop zone, while the visitors will do everything to avoid falling back into it. Neither team will play defensively, as victory is more important than a single point against a direct competitor. More focus will be on the attack, as both clubs concede nearly the most goals in the championship.
Both teams concede a lot. West Ham averages 2.1 goals conceded per match, while Burnley averages 1.9. Therefore, I believe at least three goals will be scored in this match. This number of goals has been scored in 5 of West Ham's last 6 home games, as well as in Burnley's last 6 away matches in the Premier League.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
