Date: Saturday 19 April 2025
Kick-off: 15:00 BST

Given West Ham's superior position in the league and Southampton's relegation, the Hammers are expected to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. However, Southampton have shown they can be competitive, especially in their recent draw against Crystal Palace.

West Ham will likely exploit their home advantage and secure a victory to boost their mid-table standing. Southampton, on the other hand, will aim to end their season on a positive note, potentially causing an upset.

Match Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Southampton

West Ham have been struggling to find consistency in their recent performances. Their last five league matches have yielded mixed results, with a particular challenge in securing victories away from home.

The Hammers have shown resilience at times, particularly in their draw against Bournemouth, but their inability to convert draws into wins has been a concern. Key players like Jarrod Bowen and Tomás Soucek have been pivotal, with Bowen leading the team in both goals and assists.

Southampton's season has been one of struggle, culminating in their relegation from the Premier League. Their recent form has been poor, with a string of losses and only one draw in their last five league matches.

Despite their relegation, Southampton have shown moments of competitiveness, particularly in their draw against Crystal Palace. However, their inability to secure points consistently has been their downfall. Paul Onuachu has been a bright spot, contributing goals in recent matches.

• Jarrod Bowen vs Kyle Walker-Peters: Bowen's pace and finishing ability will be crucial for West Ham, and he will look to exploit any gaps in Southampton's defence. Walker-Peters will need to be at his best to contain the West Ham forward.
• Mateus Fernandes vs Lucas Paquetá:
  In midfield, Fernandes' tackling and ball-winning ability will be tested against Paquetá's creativity and passing range. This duel could dictate the flow of the game.
