West Ham Attack Faces Southampton Defense
West Ham sit second after 22 points from 11 games and average three goals scored per game at home. Southampton sit eighth with 17 points and have scored once per game on their travels. West Ham have seen three or more total goals in eight of their 11 league matches while Southampton have recorded the same in six of theirs. Both teams have also seen both sides score in seven and eight matches respectively this season. Their head to head record shows over two and a half goals in four of the last ten meetings. West Ham have scored 2.7 goals per game overall while conceding 1.1 and Southampton have kept a clean sheet in three of 11. Open exchanges look likely when West Ham push from their strong home base against Southampton’s low scoring away side.
