West Ham vs Hull City
England Premier League.
Date: Saturday, 17th December 2016,
Kick-off at 15:00 UK.
Venue: Wembley Stadium, London.
West Ham managed to scrape a narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley on Wednesday night and will be looking to secure back-to-back wins to move away from the bottom half of the table. They welcome Hull, who are one point above bottom placed Sunderland and will be desperately hoping for points in this fixture seeing as though they host Manchester City next weekend. Hull have lost their last four away matches and will be hoping to end that winless streak at the Olympic Stadium.
West Ham vs Hull City Predictions
With Andy Carroll back in the team, I feel the Hammers have a much better outlet than Simone Zaza who hasn’t adapted to life in the Premier League so far. Slaven Bilic’s side will be full of confidence following their determined point at Anfield and their win over Burnley, and despite those results, Hammers fans will definitely feel this is a must win game. Mike Phelan’s side have won once in their last 14 matches, losing 10 of those. West Ham may have finally turned a corner after their dreadful start to the campaign, and a win on Saturday could potentially move them up to 13th. I feel that due to Hull’s awful away record this campaign and the momentum West Ham will have coming into this one, the outcome of this match will be a home win. West Ham faced Bournemouth, Sunderland and Burnley on home turf and won these matches 1-0, therefore my first West Ham vs Hull prediction for this clash is West Ham to win to nil at 15/8 with .
Under/Over 2.5 Tips
The Irons have found it hard to break down teams this season, and although they have Carroll returning to the side, I still feel this will be a low scoring encounter. West Ham have only managed to score five goals in their last five home games, and they scored in each of those matches. Hull faced Middlesbrough before they were beaten 3-0 at White Hart Lane on Wednesday, and that match ended 1-0. Hull don’t offer much going forward and are the second lowest scorers in the Premier League with just 14 goals. Phelan’s side can be hard to break down sometimes and Slaven Bilic’s men will have to be patient in front of goal, therefore my second West Ham vs Hull betting tip for this match is West Ham to win and under 2.5 goals, it’s 16/5 with Bet Stars.
West Ham vs Hull City: Head-to-head stats
West Ham have won in each of their last 5 home matches against Hull City in all competitions. And they have scored 2 or more goals on each occasion.
Across all venues, West Ham are unbeaten in 9 of the last 10 meetings with 6 wins and 2 draws to their name. And once again, they have scored over 1.5 goals in those 9 matches.
West Ham vs Hull City: Prediction
West Ham can be seen as huge favourites to win this game. The main reason for this is Hull City’s poor defensive record in away games this season. We will also back West Ham’s goal-scoring record in previous head-to-head meetings against Hull. So a correct full-time score in the range of 2-0 is very much on the cards here.
