Betting Tips & Predictions for West Ham vs Southampton
Here are our Premier League predictions for Sunday's match between West Ham and Southampton a the London Stadium. This could prove to be a huge game at the bottom of the table as two of the sides currently sat in the relegation zone go head-to-head. The Hammers have one more point on the board and a much better goal difference than their guests and David Moyes' men will be looking to make the most of their home advantage.

Under 2.5 Goals
Our first West Ham vs Southampton prediction concerns the total goals scored during the 90-minutes. We're expecting this game to be tight and tense throughout with little in the way of goalmouth action. Three of the last five league meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals and two of those games have ended goalless. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in two of West Ham's last three outings in all competitions as well as in four of Southampton's last five Premier League fixtures, so you can see why we're predicting a low-scoring match on Sunday.
Both Teams to Score – No
Our second West Ham vs Southampton prediction delves into the both teams to score market. Only two of the last five league meetings between West Ham and Southampton have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, and we can see one or even both teams failing to score on Sunday. Both teams have also only scored in two of the Hammers' and two of the Saints' last six matches in all competitions with West ham keeping three clean sheets during that period and Southampton failing to score in three of those games.

West Ham vs Southampton Lineups
West Ham
West Ham had to come from behind at home to Aston Villa to earn a share of the spoils in their last league game before the international break. Watkins opened the scoring in the 17th-minute but the teams went in level at the interval thanks to a 26th-minute penalty from Benrahma. Lukasz Fabianski will be hoping to make his return to the first team this weekend after a spell out with a head injury, while Michail Antonio could also return to the side following a calf strain.
Predicted Lineup – Fabianski (GK), Zouma, Emerson, Kehrer, Aguerd, Souček, Rice, Paquetá, Ings, Benrahma & Bowen
Southampton
The Saints fought back brilliantly to earn a point at home to Tottenham last time out. Porro put Spurs in front in first-half stoppage-time but Adams equalised for the hosts right at the start of the second forty-five. Goals from Kane and Perisic seemed to have won the game for the away side but Walcott pulled a goal back for Southampton in the 77th-minute and in stoppage-time, Ward-Prowse converted a spot-kick t make the final scoreline 3-3, a result that would produce a reaction out of Conte that would see the Italian lose his job. Adams is a slight doubt for this weekend's match but Larios, Livramento and Bella-Kotchap have been ruled out through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Bazunu (GK), Bednarek, Perraud, Walker-Peters, Salisu, Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Walcott & Adams
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Danny Ings
Players so often come back to haunt their former employers and that is why we have picked Danny Ings as our player to watch in this game.
The former Southampton striker signed for West Ham in January but has only chipped in with two league goals so far due to a couple of minor injuries that have hindered his short time in the capital.
However, in what is set to be a tight and tense game at the bottom of the table, one goal could be enough to secure a massive 3pts for either side and you wouldn't bet against Ings scoring against his old side to win the game.
