Đánh giá trận đấu West Ham vs Burnley

• West Ham to win
• Cả hai đội đều ghi bàn

West Ham United head into another vital Premier League encounter at the London Stadium hoping to build on their spirited 3-1 win over Newcastle last weekend. The Nuno Espírito Santo era is officially up and running, and the Portuguese manager will be desperate to maintain that momentum against relegation rivals Burnley.

Few would have predicted West Ham’s emphatic win at St James’ Park, but the Hammers delivered a performance full of determination and attacking intent to claim three massive points. The result not only lifted spirits but also reignited belief that survival is possible under Nuno. It was West Ham’s first league win in over a month, and now the opportunity presents itself for them to record consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since February — a feat that could potentially lift them out of the bottom three depending on results elsewhere.

That said, consistency has eluded the Hammers this season, especially at home. Their record of one win in their last ten home league games (W1, D3, L6) underlines the scale of the task facing Nuno. Adding to the challenge, West Ham have already lost to both of the other newly-promoted sides this term, suggesting complacency could be dangerous. With pressure mounting and a restless home crowd expecting another positive result, the hosts will need to back up last weekend’s fight with control and discipline.

Burnley, meanwhile, experienced a far less positive weekend, succumbing 2-0 at home to league leaders Arsenal. Though that defeat ended their brief two-game winning run, there are still encouraging signs for the Clarets. Under Scott Parker, Burnley appear far more competitive, with improved organisation and sharper pressing compared to their early-season struggles.

The visitors can also take heart from the fact that they are currently three points better off than at the same stage of each of their last three Premier League relegation campaigns. They’ve also shown a knack for picking up results in so-called “six-pointers,” remaining unbeaten in matches against fellow bottom-five sides so far (W2, D1). That resilience could prove vital here, especially against a West Ham team that has struggled to keep clean sheets at home.

Lịch sử đối đầu

West Ham boast a solid recent record in this fixture, going six Premier League games unbeaten against Burnley (W3, D3). However, meetings in London have been far less predictable — the last six H2Hs at the London Stadium have been perfectly balanced (W2, D2, L2).

Burnley’s last away victory in this fixture came in May 2021, but since then, West Ham have dominated the head-to-head on both quality and momentum.

Thống kê nóng hổi và chuỗi trận

• West Ham have not kept a home league clean sheet all season.
• The Hammers have managed only two clean sheets in the last 13 H2Hs between these sides.
• Burnley have attempted the fewest shots in the Premier League (74) this season, underlining their creative issues.
• Burnley’s away league matches have averaged a league-high 4.4 goals per game, reflecting their open style of play.

Các cầu thủ quan trọng cần theo dõi và các cầu thủ vắng mặt

For West Ham, Callum Wilson is the man to watch. The striker has an outstanding record against Burnley, having scored six goals in his last four starts versus the Clarets.

In total, he has found the net seven times against them in the Premier League, with only two other clubs suffering more at his hands. His sharp movement and finishing could again be decisive, particularly against a Burnley side that has struggled to contain direct attackers.

In goal for Burnley, Martin Dúbravka has been one of the few consistent performers this season. The experienced Slovakian has made five or more saves in five of his last six appearances, and he’ll need another inspired performance to keep Wilson and company at bay.

On the team news front, West Ham will again be without Niclas Füllkrug, while Burnley have reported no new injury concerns, allowing Scott Parker to select from a largely settled squad.

Tổng quan chiến thuật

Nuno Espírito Santo’s immediate impact has been to inject energy and structure into West Ham’s play. Expect the Hammers to continue with a compact 4-3-3 setup, focusing on quick transitions and using Wilson’s runs behind the defence. Wide men like Jarrod Bowen will be crucial in stretching Burnley’s back line, while midfield enforcers such as James Ward-Prowse will look to dictate the tempo and exploit set-piece opportunities.

Burnley, in contrast, will likely approach this with a cautious 4-4-1-1 system, aiming to frustrate the hosts and hit on the counter. Their recent improvements have stemmed from greater defensive cohesion and a willingness to press in midfield, but they’ll need to balance that with enough attacking ambition to test West Ham’s leaky defence.

Phân tích cá cược

With confidence restored and home advantage in their favour, West Ham look the likelier side to prevail. Their attacking edge and Burnley’s vulnerability on the road — where their matches have averaged over four goals per game — make the hosts strong favourites to take all three points.

For bettors, the value could lie in combining markets. Backing West Ham to win and over 2.5 total goals aligns with both teams’ current form and statistical trends. Burnley’s defensive fragility away from home makes it difficult to see them keeping a clean sheet, while the Hammers’ attacking quality should be enough to get the job done.

Prediction: West Ham 3–1 Burnley

Nuno’s men should ride the wave of momentum from their Newcastle win to secure another valuable three points. Burnley may pose a threat on the break, but West Ham’s superior attacking firepower should ultimately see them through in this crucial bottom-of-the-table clash.
