Prediction Arsenal vs West Ham United 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 04/10/2025

Match preview: Emirates set for one-sided affair?

The Emirates Stadium will host what looks set to be a compelling mismatch on 04/10/2025 as Arsenal welcome West Ham United in Round 7 of the Premier League. The mood around north London is bullish: Arsenal arrive off the back of a convincing 2-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos and boast an irresistible run in domestic competition, reflected by an eye-catching sequence of results that has them second in the table with 13 points. The market is equally emphatic — bookmakers peg the Gunners as overwhelming favorites (1.19), assigning an implied probability north of 84 percent. There is a tangible electricity among home supporters; with the Emirates’ 60,383 capacity ready to push their team, Arsenal’s home numbers underline why they’re favorites: nine goals scored at home versus just one conceded and three clean sheets recorded so far.

Form, recent results and momentum

Arsenal’s recent run reads like a title-chasing side: wins against Olympiacos, Newcastle and Port Vale, one draw with Manchester City, and overall a run that shows eight wins, a draw and a single loss in their latest sample. The confidence gleaned from closing out tight fixtures and keeping clean sheets will be important. Their recent Champions League performance also highlighted individual contributions, with Myles Lewis-Skelly singled out as the best performer on the night with a 7.64 rating — a sign that momentum is carrying across competitions.

West Ham, by contrast, have struggled for consistency and sit 19th with just four points. Their results reveal a side unable to string wins together: a recent 1-1 draw with Everton offered respite, but it came amid losses to Crystal Palace and Tottenham earlier in the month. Defensive fragility is evident in their goals conceded column — 14 overall — and their away form has been patchy. Despite some encouraging attacking numbers in certain fixtures, West Ham’s season so far reads as a fight for points rather than comfort, and their trip to the Emirates will be as much about damage limitation as about spoiling the party.

Stat battlegrounds and what to expect

Key statistical indicators favor Arsenal in almost every phase. They lead the way in attack volume and dangerous attacks, averaging more attempts and a higher rate of in-box activity than West Ham. Corners and set-piece pressure also lean to the hosts, giving Arsenal the kind of territorial control that often translates into scoreboard pressure. West Ham’s fixtures have produced a fair share of goals overall, but their defensive record and low standing suggest this visit will be more about containment than dominance.

Betting suggestion

Market: 1X2 — Back Arsenal to win. The combination of home form, superior attack metrics, recent momentum and the heavy bookmaker support (1.19) makes the home victory the clearest value pick from the available markets.
