West Ham vs Sheffield United prediction 30.09.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 30th September 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CEST
• Venue: London Stadium (London)

West Ham is ambitious to return to the top seven Premier League teams and compete for the European Cup's places. After six league matches, they are seventh with ten points. Still, it will be hard to stay in that position as some big teams like Newcastle, Manchester United, and Chelsea are behind them. West Ham won two of the last three matches in all competitions. In the previous game, David Moyes' team won 1-0 in the EFL Cup on the road against Lincoln. It was expected West Ham would have a much better game, but eventually, the most important thing was that they secured a victory. Still, every win breeds confidence, so with another win, West Ham should trust in their own abilities ahead of the game versus Sheffield Wednesday. 

Before the season started, most pundits saw Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield United as the three worst teams in the league and as the main candidates for relegation. After six rounds, all three teams have only one point each. Last weekend, Sheffield United suffered an embarrassing 8-0 defeat at the home stadium against Newcastle. The home side was powerless during that game. It will be hard to recover the team after such a humiliating defeat and prepare for the match versus West Ham. 

West Ham vs Sheffield United pick: Over 2.5 goals

West Ham scored 14 goals in the last seven matches. Six of them went over 2.5 goals. On the other hand, Sheffield United allowed 12 goals in the previous three games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
