West Ham United v Southampton Match Preview & Trends
Can West Ham finish on a high after overachieving this season?
David Moyes would no doubt have been ambitious at the start of the season but as a realist, he would also have urged caution on anyone saying West Ham could qualify for Europe at the end of the campaign. Their remarkable season has seen The Hamers in Champions League qualifying positions in the latter stages of the league without ever looking like dropping off. This final game will be pivotal for The Irons’s dreams but other results will heavily influence where they end up at full-time.
Ralf Hassenhuttel will be glad to see the back of this season where ironically Saints were flying at the beginning but have collapsed spectacularly in the second half of the campaign. He knows that when he is able to field a full-strength side on a regular basis, his team are very capable, ply good football whilst achieving results. The depth in quality has eluded him this season and will need to build in this summer to finish higher next year.
West Ham Utd conceded at least 1 goal in 72% of their home matches and there has been a first-half goal scored in each of West Ham’s last 7 home games in a row.
