The first Premier League match on Sunday is an all-London clash as it sees West Ham take on Arsenal at the London Stadium. The Gunners are chasing their first league title in many a moon, while West Ham are have one eye on qualifying for the Champions League next season. These two teams are playing some good football at the moment, so it should be an entertaining match for us neutrals. Who, though, will go on to claim the points that are on offer? Well, this is a question which will be answered if you keep reading.
🏆 West Ham vs Arsenal: Who Will Win?
David Moyes must be wondering what he has to do in order to win over the West Ham fans. Last year he took them to European glory in the Conference League and this year he has them in contention for a spot in next season's Champions League, but some West Ham fans still call for him to be sacked when things do not quite go their own way. They have only lost two of their previous ten league matches, but he still cannot seem to please everyone.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are currently sitting in 3rd place in the table and are just two points off the top of the league. They will be heading into this match full of confidence after they became just the second team to beat Liverpool this season. However, sit down with a Liverpool fan, and they will quickly inform you that Arsenal are the only team to have beaten them fairly. When it comes to form over the previous ten matches, they are also sitting in 3rd place, having picked up 18 points from the 30 on offer.
Matches between these two teams are usually pretty close, and I am expecting a close game once again. As for the winner, I expect Arsenal to keep the heat on Liverpool and leave the London Stadium with all three points courtesy of a 2-1 win.
My Prediction: 🏆 West Ham 1 Arsenal 2⚽
💯 West Ham vs Arsenal Match Odds
There are many football markets that football bettors can try their luck on, but there are some markets that have much more popularity than their peers. Three football betting markets that many bettors like to put their money on include:

West Ham vs Arsenal: Match Winner Odds
You will probably not be surprised to find out that Arsenal are the heavy favourites to go on and win this match, even though they are playing away from home. While I understand Arsenal being favourites, I do think the odds for a West Ham win are slightly disrespectful. They have shown plenty of quality this season, so I would have expected somewhat shorter odds. Anyway, below are the match winner odds for this match:
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Ham | 1.54 | 1.54 | 6.00 | 6.00 | 6.00 |
| Draw | 4.25 | 4.25 | 4.33 | 4.35 | 4.35 |
| Arsenal | 1.54 | 1.54 | 1.55 | 1.52 | 1.53 |
West Ham vs Arsenal: Both Teams To Score Odds
The bookies believe that both teams will score in this game. As you can tell from my aforementioned 2-1 prediction, I agree with the bookmakers for a number of reasons. However, I will not talk about those reasons right now as it is better suited for the next section of this guide. For now, you can occupy your mind with the both teams to score odds that my five top bookies are offering at the moment.
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.67 | 1.67 | 1.70 | 1.70 | 1.76 |
| No | 2.12 | 2.12 | 2.05 | 1.94 | 2.00 |
West Ham vs Arsenal: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
The bookies also believe that there will be at least three goals scored at the London Stadium when these two teams meet. History says that this is usually the case between these two teams, so I can see why the bookies are offering shorter odds for the over 2.5 goals option. This is one of those markets that will always split opinion, so below you can find the odds being offered for three goals or more and fewer than three goals.
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 1.60 | 1.60 | 1.65 | 1.60 | 1.65 |
| Under 2.5 | 2.19 | 2.19 | 2.20 | 2.18 | 2.25 |
✔️ West Ham vs Arsenal - Betting Tips
In this section, I am going to provide you with some top football betting tips for this West Ham vs Arsenal match. Before you go ahead and place a bet on any outcome in this match, you would do well to take a good look at the following advice.
- Tip 1: Bet on Arsenal to win: West Ham, I am sure, will give Arsenal a tough game, but I think Arsenal's quality will shine through in the end and they will pick up the points on offer. It is not a good time to be playing the Gunners as they will be on a huge high after their impressive 3-1 win against Liverpool last weekend. Arsenal did lose to the Hammers in December, but I do not see that happening this time. If you want to bet on an Arsenal win, then 10Bet Sport are offering odds of 1.55.
- Tip 2: Bet on both teams to score: The Gunners have only kept two clean sheets in the previous ten matches, while West Ham have managed to keep four. Only 55% of EPL matches at the London Stadium this season have seen both teams find the back of the net, but Arsenal have some of the best attacking players in the league, so I really cannot see them scoring enough goals to win this match. Meanwhile, West Ham are averaging 1.64 goals per match at home, which suggests that both teams will score in this one. You can find odds of 1.76 at BetUK Sports.
- Tip 3: Bet on over 2.5 goals: When you look at the season stats for over 2.5 goals, they actually point to there being fewer than three goals in this match. Just 45% of West Ham's home matches and Arsenal's away matches have seen at least three goals, but the attacking talent that both teams have at their disposal is tempting me to ignore the stats for this market. Seven of the previous ten matches between these two London rivals have seen over 2.5 goals scored. If you want to back the over 2.5 goals market, then 10Bet Sport are offering odds of 1.65.
- Tip 4: Bet on Arsenal to win 2-1: The correct score market is always one that is worth considering as the odds are usually quite enticing. I think Arsenal will win this match 2-1, and those who agree with me can find odds of 7.50 at Betiton Sport.
1️⃣West Ham Update
West Ham are currently sitting in 7th place, and they will not have ruled themselves out of qualifying for the Champions League next season. A 10-point gap between them and 4th place is not going to be easy to bridge, but they will be hoping that the English teams do well enough in Europe this season to be awarded a 5th qualification spot come May.
They have been playing some entertaining football this season and have given all of the top teams a game, but they will be wary of the fact that they have only picked up three points from their previous four games.

Who will be missing from Moyes' team this weekend? Well, they only have two players out, and you can see who these are in the table below:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Michail Antonio | Knee Injury |
| Lucas Paqueta | Calf Injury |
2️⃣Arsenal Update
Arsenal knew that they needed a win against Liverpool last weekend to keep the pressure firmly upon Jurgen Klopp's men, and they put in one of their best performances of the season to win the match 3-1.
Consistency has been an issue with Arteta's men at stages throughout the season, so those of an Arsenal persuasion will be hoping that they do not throw away all of that good work and lose at the London Stadium. A win, coupled with a surprise loss for Liverpool, would see the Gunners overtake their rivals.
