Burnley vs West Ham United Prediction and Betting Tips - 12th December 2021

Burnley invite high-flying West Ham United to Turf Moor in their Premier League fixture on Sunday.

West Ham United's 3-2 win over London rivals Chelsea in their previous outing allowed them to maintain their fourth spot in the league standings. David Moyes fielded a young squad in their Europa League tie against Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday, resulting in a 1-0 loss.

Burnley had another disappointing outing in their previous game as they fell to a 1-0 loss at Newcastle United last Saturday. They are winless in their last four Premier League games.

Burnley vs West Ham United Prediction

With just one win, Burnley are now on level with 19th-placed Newcastle United and bottom-placed Norwich City. They have kept just one clean sheet in their home. More than half of their Premier League goals have come at home so they will fancy their chances of finding the back of the net here.

West Ham United have a solid away record, recording four wins and have also scored 10 goals but have faced defeat in their last two away fixtures. They will be without Kurt Zouma here, with four defenders already ruled out with injuries, so a clean sheet for them does not look likely.

Injuries to some of their key defenders are a cause for concern for David Moyes. However, his side have failed to score in just two Premier League games this term and should be able to overcome Burnley here.

Prediction: Burnley 1-2 West Ham.
