West Ham vs Viborg: Top Free Betting Tips

On paper, West Ham should have an easy task against Viborg but their form does not seem to be perfect right now. Here are our predictions for this game.

Total Goals – Over 2.5

West Ham should be levels above Viborg in every aspect of the game even in their bad current form. We generally do not expect much from the visitors although they had some good performances to date. They did, however, play against incredibly weak teams and West Ham's defense should be a completely different challenge, almost impossible. We expect West Ham to win this with 3+ goals and settle it before the 2nd leg fixture.

Team To Score in Both Halves – West Ham

Viborg showed some good defensive skills in their previous fixtures in the ECL but those were against teams that would never even get a chance to reach the group stages of the tournament. And even against a team like B36 Torshavn, Viborg conceded a goal, so we have no doubts that West Ham's strong attack will find a way to score more than once. We expect to see at least one goal from the hosts in both halves of this match.

Both Teams To Score – No

West Ham spent a lot of money in this tranfer window and are building a very solid squad. However, their current form is not perfect and they actually lost both of their games in the Premier League since it started. We think the team will use this opportunity to boost its confidence against a weaker team and their defense should perform at a much higher level than what we have seen recently.

West Ham vs Viborg: Form, Recent Games, and News

West Ham Preview

West Ham are one of the teams in Europe that spent the most money this season and they brought new players in all different positions. They bought Giangluca Scamacca from Sassuolo for 36 million euros, who is a center-forward. Centre-back Nayef Aguerd arrived from Rennes for 35 million, Maxwel Cornet arrived from Burnley for 20 million, and more. Overall, they are building an incredible team that surely has the ambition to fight for the Top 4 this season but apparently, it will take time for the chemistry to work.

Viborg Preview

Viborg are not even close to the top teams in the country right now but they got a chance to play in the Europa Conference League due to the format of the league. Overall, this is a low-scoring team that has serious problems in defense and it should be easy for West Ham to score multiple times against them. We are not too sure about Viborg's true form due to the weaker opponents they had.
