West Ham United Birmingham City betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive result, using the home advantage in their favour. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home tie against Brighton & Hove Albion by (2‑2). In the last 10 home matches West Ham United has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 14 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 25 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

West Ham is a team that has won two Premier League titles, plus three FA Cup titles, one English Super Cup title and two English League Cup runners-up. The team has been making an irregular campaign in the national championship in the current season, having won 28 of the 63 points played so far, thus being in the middle of the table, away from the last and the first placed. In the last five games West Ham played at home were scored more than 1.5 goals and in four of these games were scored more than 2.5 goals. We believe that in this match West Ham, by playing at home, can score goals, but could also be leaked, since it also often suffer goals.
