West Ham vs Sheffield United Prediction
West Ham Form
West Ham have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat TSC Backa Topola by 3-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 3-1 against Liverpool, before claiming three points in a 0-1 win against Lincoln City. West Ham won three of their previous six matches at London Stadium in the Premier League. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring 11 goals to nine against.
Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario West Ham hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.
Sheffield United Form
In their previous three games, Sheffield United drew 2-2 with Everton, then lost 2-1 against Tottenham and 0-8 against Newcastle. Sheffield United managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring ten time and letting in three.
Most people expect Sheffield United to face a hard battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League for most of the season. This is a fiercely competitive league each year, and they seem to be lacking in quality.
West Ham have been making good strides lately, and Sheffield United don't look like a team strong enough of getting in their way of adding another win to their account at London Stadium.
West Ham only drew once so far this season after six games played, in stead recording three wins and two defeats in the Premier League. Sheffield United are looking at zero wins, one draw and five defeats in the Premier League.
