West Ham vs Burnley Tips: Clarets have fine head-to-head record

Rather than the straight win, a Hammers victory by the single goal looks the stand-out bet in a tight match…But we’ve found an even better odd for a safer prediction. Check it out below!

“Two of Burnley’s last three games ended in defeats by the single goal and all three of West Ham’s recent wins were just by one goal, too. As ever, you’d think Burnley will be playing for a low-scoring draw and consider that a decent result if they get one. X2 pays 2.02 and doesn’t look a bad option.

West Ham vs Burnley Tips: Moyes doing fine job

David Moyes can be pretty pleased with his work at what is practically the halfway mark of the season.

Out went a few of the more creative players who weren’t pulling their weight including Felipe Anderson (on loan at Porto), Jack Wilshere (contract terminated), Sebastian Haller (sold) and Manuel Lanzini (out of favour but still at the club).

Among the better performers have been attacking left-back Aaron Cresswell, all-action England midfielder Declan Rice, goalscoring hard man Tomas Soucek and keeper Lukas Fabianski.

With Haller now gone it’s clear Moyes intends to play Michail Antonio (fit again) as much as he can but that might be a problem with his poor injury record; there’s no real Plan B if he gets crocked again.

West Ham vs Burnley Tips: A Look At West Ham United’s Betting Odds

West Ham have only lost to Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in their last 15 top-flight fixtures.

The Hammers followed up a 1-0 win at in-form Everton by beating Stockport in the FA Cup, thanks to Craig Dawson’s late header in difficult weather conditions. Dawson told the club website: “The lads put in a great shift and it’s great to keep another clean sheet.

“As we saw with the other ties this weekend, it’s not easy coming to grounds like this, so it was a great performance from the lads.”

United are certainly proving hard to beat, but they did only draw their last two home matches versus Crystal Palace and Brighton.

We feel 3.50 for another stalemate here makes sense from the West Ham vs Burnley odds.

Last West Ham line-up: Randolph, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Johnson, Rice, Lanzini, Noble, Yarmolenko, Benrahma, Antonio.

West Ham vs Burnley Tips: A Look At Burnley's Betting Odds

Burnley couldn’t stop Manchester United from going top of the table at Turf Moor on Tuesday but were competitive throughout that 1-0 defeat.

“A lot of the performance was good, I thought, against a top side who are playing very well,” said Clarets boss Dyche. “We’re in good form ourselves but they are a top side, they’ve got some very good individuals, as well as a collective. “But I thought our performance was effective and was certainly something we can build on.”

The Lancashire outfit had picked up four wins and three draws from their previous nine league games, only losing away to Manchester City and Leeds, where they were a touch unfortunate. Chris Wood has haunted West Ham in the past, scoring in five of the last six meetings between these sides.

Last Burnley line-up: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Brady, Westwood, Wood, Barnes.

Full-back Charlie Taylor, sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury at the end of last month, is Burnley’s only doubt.

Dwight McNeil returned from a groin problem as a substitute against United and could start, while striker Matej Vydra is also pushing for inclusion.

West Ham vs Burnley betting tip

62% of West Ham’s latest home games have gone under 2.5 goals and for Burnley away games it’s the same percentage. Two of Burnley’s last three games ended in defeats by the single goal and all three of West Ham’s recent wins were just by one goal, too. So take the 1.71 on under 2.5 goals.

As ever, you’d think Burnley will be playing for a low-scoring draw and consider that a decent result if they get one. X2 pays 2.02 and doesn’t look a bad option.
