Everton vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips (2 March)

Initially sanctioned with a withdrawal of 10 points due to a breach of the rules of financial fair play, Everton finally saw their sentence reduced to 6 points. This allows the Liverpool-based club to move up to 15th in the Premier League with 1 more game and 5 points ahead of the first relegated team. The maintenance is still far from being in the pocket especially since the current dynamic is not good. The Toffees have not bagged any success in the last 9 days, 5 draws and 4 defeats. Beaten at Manchester City 2-0, they then shared the points with Crystal Palace 1-1 and Brighton last weekend 1-1. West Ham is currently 8th in the Premier League and has the same number of points as the 7th which could be European depending on the identity of the winner of the FA Cup.

Unfortunately, the London team has been moving slowly for several weeks. The Hammers still got the upper hand, at home, over Brentford last Monday 4-2. They thus put an end to a bad dynamic of 6 matches without a victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats. Next Thursday, West Ham travels to Friborg in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League.

Like the last few weeks, Everton remains deprived of the winger usually replacing Danjuma and the long-term absentee Dele Alli, insufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Close to a return, Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes is announced as doubtful this Saturday. This is also the case for important midfielders Gana Gueye and Amadou Onana and replacement striker Dobbin. With 28 goals on the clock, the Toffees have the 18th attack in the championship.

These shortcomings are symbolized by the delicate season that the starting striker Calvert-Lewin is going through (3 goals in PL). He could start again despite everything and be supported by former Rennais Abdoulaye Doucouré (6 goals in PL).
