In my opinion West Ham have really good chances to make at least one point in this match up.

Southampton don't likes to play at home against West Ham - they lost 3 of last 4 matches at this stadium against them - in previous season 1:0. West Ham coming for this match with big mental advantage as they won last 5 Premier League matches in a row against Southampton.

In overall is hard to consider Southampton as a strong home team - they won only 25 of last 83 home Premier League matches. On the other hand West Ham improved a lot in away matches under David Moyes - they scored at least one goal in 9 of last 10 away Premier League matches, they failed to score only against Chelsea. West Ham should be able to find the net once again today - Southampton today is without their key central defender Jannik Vestergaard (3 goals in 13 matches). In addition to that West Ham key striker Michail Antonio is ready to play today and this is huge info for the team, West Ham coming with the strongest possible line up for today's game.

West Ham form is solid - they lost only 3 of last 11 matches and they lost only against top teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. They were able to won on away against Leicester or made a point in away match against Tottenham. They don't have problems with goalscoring - they scored at least one goal in 16 of last 17 matches in all competitions. Their last round match finished with draw 2:2 at home against Brighton and that was good match from both sides.

Southampton form in last weeks slashed down - they are without a win in last 3 matches in a row and they scored only one goal in the process. Reason for such a problems in offense is simple - their captain, striker and top player Danny Ings (6 goals and 3 assists in 11 matches) still is not fully fit, he have hamstring problems. In last round against poor Fulham (relegation zone) Southampton had only 3 shots (!) - expected goals scored 0.21.

Southampton don't have good record in last matches of calendar year - in last 9 years they made only 1 win. I see good chances for West Ham today.

在我看来，西汉姆有很好的机会在这场比赛中取得至少一分。

南安普敦不擅长在主场对阵西汉姆联。他们最近4场主场的比赛有3场都输球。上赛季以0:1告负。西汉姆联有巨大的心里优势，因为他们连续赢得了最近5场对阵南安普顿的英超比赛。

总体而言，很难将南安普敦视为一支强大的主场球队-在过去的83场英超联赛中，他们仅赢了25场。另一方面，西汉姆在大卫·莫耶斯（David Moyes）的带领下，客场的表现进步很多-在过去的10场英超联赛比赛中，他们有9场比赛至少进了一个球，只在对阵切尔西时未能进球。西汉姆今天应该可以再次取得进球-今天的南安普顿将会缺少关键的中后卫扬尼克·维斯特加德（13场比赛打进3个进球）。西汉姆的关键前锋米歇尔·安东尼奥已经接近复出，这对球队来说是重要的信息，西汉姆队本场可能会派上最强阵容参加今天的比赛。

西汉姆联的表现很稳定-在过去的11场比赛中他们只输了3场，只输给了曼联，切尔西和利物浦等顶级球队。他们能够在客场对莱斯特城的比赛中获胜，或者在客场对阵热刺的比赛中取得进球。他们在进球方面没有问题-在最近17场比赛中，他们有16场至少打进了一个进球。他们的上一轮比赛在主场对阵布莱顿的比赛中以2：2结束，这对双方都是不错的比赛。

过去几周南安普敦的表现大幅下降-他们连续三场比赛未能获胜，并且在此过程中仅打进了一球。进攻中出现此类问题的原因很简单-他们的队长，前锋和最佳球员丹尼·英格斯（11场比赛中有6个进球和3个助攻）有伤在身，他的腿筋存在问题。在上轮对阵富勒姆（降级区）的南安普顿只有3次射门（！）-预期进球0.21。

南安普敦（Southampton）在年末的最后一场比赛记录不太好-在过去9年中，他们仅取得1场胜利。今天，我认为西汉姆有很好的机会拿分。预测西汉姆联不败。
