Anticipating a goal in the London Derby, the major event of the day, set for December 15, 2021.
The English Premier League is heating up as we approach the 17th matchday of the 2021/22 season, with two crucial matches on the horizon. On December 15th, the Emirates Stadium will host a highly anticipated encounter between Arsenal and West Ham United, while Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers will face off at Falmer and London.
West Ham United has been in impressive form lately, having not lost in their last three games. However, they have struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score three times during this period. Their away form towards the end of the first round was less convincing, as they went three games without a win. West Ham has managed to hit 'OT 2.5' ten times and has four clean sheets to their name.
Arsenal, on the other hand, has had a challenging three months, losing three times and moving up to 6th place. Their home form has been more promising, with Arsenal having gone seven Premier League games without a defeat at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal has a significant advantage over West Ham United in head-to-heads in national tournaments, having won a majority of fixtures at home and maintaining a good goal differential overall.
In the other fixture, Brighton has been struggling, having not won in ten games (W8-D2-L2). They have kept a clean sheet five times and have had eleven "ITM 1.5" passes. Wolverhampton, too, has been struggling, having failed to score in nine games and having kept a clean sheet five times. Wolverhampton has won just one game in six (W1-D2-L3).
The final odds for the Brighton vs Wolverhampton match, according to Parimatch, suggest that the Total Match Under (2.5) has odds of 1.55. For the Arsenal vs West Ham match, the Match Total Over (2.5) has odds of 1.84.
