West Brom v West Ham betting tips: Hammers still have hope

West Brom v West Ham head-to-head

West Ham certainly have recent history on their side in this fixture having lost just one of the last nine Premier League meetings, although they were also beaten by West Brom in the FA Cup last season.

The Hammers came out on top 2-1 in the two most recent league encounters, including in January when Michail Antonio grabbed the decisive goal.

West Ham took the lead through Jarrod Bowen just before half-time but were pegged back by Matheus Pereira early in the second half before Antonio struck in the 66th minute.

A third successive 2-1 win for West Ham in this fixture is 7/1 while the visitors are 31/20 to again be leading at both half-time and full-time.

Previous XI

West Ham: Fabianski, Cresswell, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Rice, Lingard, Fornals, Bowen, Soucek, Antonio.

Team news

West Brom have no fresh injury worries but are missing former Hammers winger Robert Snodgrass (back) and Branislav Ivanovic (hamstring).

West Ham will still be without Manuel Lanzini. The attacker is struggling with a thigh injury and is unlikely to play again this season.

Key battles

Antonio was the West Ham hero in January and needs one more goal to reach double figures for the season.

The pacey frontman bagged a brace at Burnley earlier this month and is the 7/2 favourite to open the scoring here or 13/10 just to be on the scoresheet.

West Brom have lacked that kind of goalscorer this season but Wales striker Hal Robson-Kanu (pictured) broke his duck for the season against Liverpool and is 16/5 to add to his tally.

Sadly there are no odds available for West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski to repeat Alisson’s heroics for Liverpool!
