West Ham vs Southampton Preview
There will be fireworks when West Ham United host Southampton in a clash between two sides with plenty to play for in the Championship. The Hammers are looking to overtake Swansea at the top of the standings and secure a third consecutive league victory. Nuno Espirito Santo has key players available, with Pablo expected to lead the attack alongside Solomon and Bowen on the flanks. West Ham have been particularly prolific at home, averaging 3.20 goals per game across their last five home matches.
Southampton, meanwhile, are determined to maintain their place in the playoff positions after being held to a goalless draw by Bolton. The Saints created 2.19 xG in that encounter, suggesting their attacking play was better than the scoreline indicated, while Cyle Larin is expected to be fit despite picking up a knock. However, their away form remains a concern, with just one win in their last four matches on the road.
West Ham’s home scoring record points towards an entertaining encounter. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on West Ham Over 1.5 goals, Over 2.5 goals total and Over 3.5 yellow cards (Championship derby).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00.
