Personal analysis: West Ham United has been affected by injuries this season. The team's lineup is not too bad, but the league results are not good. That is, the strength of several relegated teams this season is relatively poor, otherwise the team would still have to fight for relegation. On the offensive end, Kudus is the main ball-holding offensive core. It would be better to match him with a speed winger. Bowen and Paqueta are both shooters. They have the ability to pass the ball in counterattacks and mobile battles. The midfielders Ward-Prowse and Soucek have relatively fixed positions. The former prefers to hold the ball and intercept tasks, and the latter has a higher proportion of participating in the attack in front of the goal. The team's defense has recently changed to a three-back formation. The two full-backs Emerson and Wan-Bissaka have moved forward to play as wingers. Scales has replaced Emerson's starting position in the past few rounds of games. From the perspective of the effect on the field, it is relatively poor. His speed and ability to pass the ball on the wing cannot keep up with the pace of the Premier League. Southampton has been relegated this season. The main reason for the team's poor performance this season is that the coach Juric has very big problems with tactics and personnel arrangements. Now it is difficult to change the team's current situation in a short period of time. On the offensive end of the team, except for Archer and Diberlin, whose personal abilities are quite good, the personal abilities of the rest of the teammates are not very adapted to the intensity of the Premier League. The same is true for the midfield and backcourt. In addition, the position changes and playing styles of the players in each game have directly led to the tacit understanding between the players that has not been run-in after more than half a season.

Although West Ham United is not strong in the Premier League, it is much more stable than the Saints. Its counterattack ability on the two sides and in the front court is not bad, especially the effect of Wan-Bissaka behind Kudus is very good. The two can ensure that there are always some breakthroughs and crosses on the left. The Saints themselves have a weak defensive ability and play a three-back formation, which is very fatal. Whenever they encounter a team with counterattack ability, they will easily lose the ball. In this game, West Ham United's home game concedes 1 goal, which is reasonable. After all, the Hammers have not played well in recent rounds. From the data, West Ham United's home win is not a big problem, but it is hard to say whether they can play through. For the sake of safety, you can choose the home win option, and the score is expected to be 2-0 or 2-1.
