West Ham and Southampton square off at the London Stadium on 19th April 2025, both teams desperate for points to avoid sliding deeper into Premier League trouble. While the Hammers have home advantage, Southampton will be banking on their players to turn things around. Ayomide Oguntimehin dives into the recent form and the best betting tips.
West Ham vs Southampton Match Preview
Two sides on a rough patch lock horns in what could be a season-defining clash. West Ham have struggled for consistency and are winless in their last five matches. Their most recent outing saw them narrowly lose 2–1 to Liverpool at Anfield.
Southampton’s form is even more worrying. Three straight defeats, including a 3–0 home loss to Aston Villa, has left them reeling near the drop zone. With just one win in their last five, this game could either relaunch their survival push or seal their fate.

West Ham Recent Form Analysis
Graham Potter’s men are winless in five games, with losses to Liverpool, Wolves, and Newcastle. A 2–2 draw with Bournemouth and Everton showed attacking promise, but defensive lapses continue to haunt them. At home, they’ve been shaky—only one win in their last five at the London Stadium.
Southampton Recent Form Analysis
It’s been a rough ride for the Saints. Beaten by Aston Villa, Spurs, Liverpool, and Chelsea in recent weeks, they’ve conceded at least three goals in each of their last four away matches. A lone bright spot was a narrow 2–1 win at Ipswich, but otherwise, it’s been all downhill.
Player to Watch: Joe Aribo (Southampton)
The Nigerian midfielder remains a key player for Southampton. Joe Aribo could be the spark the Saints need to find creativity in the middle of the park in a tough fixture.
