West Ham 3-0 Southampton? Why expert is predicting another big Hammers win

Pundit Ali Maxwell of the Not the Top 20 podcast predicts West Ham United will secure a comprehensive home victory over Southampton. Maxwell points to West Ham's dominance at London Stadium and their prolific scoring form, having registered 30 goals in 11 Championship matches under manager Nuno. He anticipates an open match where the Hammers can score multiple goals against Southampton's defense.

Maxwell highlights West Ham's significant advantage on set pieces, notably through defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, who has scored five goals in 10 matches. Southampton's poor away record, potential absence of Flynn Downes and doubts over top scorer Cyle Larin further support the prediction. Maxwell also expects forward Jarrod Bowen to find scoring opportunities against the visiting side.
