Soccer Betting Picks: Take Draw in West Ham vs Burnley

When playing at home, the Clarets haven’t even been able to get a draw. They’re 0-0-6 and failed to score in three of those matches. On the other hand, they conceded two or more goals five times.

Overall, no other team has scored fewer goals than Burnley with nine. Erling Haaland from Manchester City and Mohamed Salah from Liverpool have scored more with 13 and 10 goals, respectively. In other words, the Clarets’ attacking unit must wake up.

More bad news because Lyle Foster, the team’s top scorer with three goals, won’t be available. He took a step to the side to work on his mental health. The good news is that midfielder Josh Browning, who has scored two goals, will be available. Plus, keep in mind that they’re offering a very tempting price in the sportsbook to win straight up.

West Ham United Looking for a Plan B

There’s no doubt that Haaland and Salah are the Premier League betting favorites to win the EPL Golden Boot. However, Jarrod Bowen is having a great season, enough to be considered a tempting dark horse. So far, the Englishman has scored eight goals. The problem is that he won’t be available due to injury. He sustained an injury while training with England’s national team.

Bowen is followed by Tomas Saucek, who will be available, with three goals. But he’s going to be all alone because Michail Antonio, who has scored two goals, also sustained an injury during the international break while playing for Jamaica.

Most recently, the Hammers won a 3-2 thriller against Nottingham Forest. Lucas Paqueta, Bowen and Saucek were the scorers. Things were different in the Hammers’ last road match, but they still scored two goals.

Besides talking about a team that truly believes the best defense is a good offense, we’re also talking about the team that’s first in Group A of the UEFA Europa League. In other words, we’re talking about an experienced squad that’s used to getting around problems like these. The Premier League Las Vegas odds don’t lie, and the Hammers come in as favorites.

Hammers Unbeaten in Last Four vs Burnley

Last season, both EPL meetings between these two finished with a draw, 0-0 and 1-1. Prior to that, West Ham United won two in a row by a 3-1 aggregate. Overall, they’ve collided 94 times and, curiously enough, both have scored exactly 155 goals.

Speaking about goals, the total has gone under 2½ in six of their last 10 meetings. I expect the betting online trend to continue.

Burnley vs West Ham United Betting Predictions

Besides having Bowen and Antonio out, the Hammers had more players on international duty. Therefore, the Hammers will be more tired. Now, I still expect the visitors to put up a good fight, but it won’t be enough to win. Go with both teams scoring and the draw.
