West Ham come into this match in decent form, with three wins and two draws in their last five games, so they are playing with confidence. Stoke City have also been strong, winning four of their last five, so this looks like two teams in good shape meeting each other. Both sides have been involved in games with a fair number of goals recently, which suggests an open match is likely.

There is no recent history between these two to look back on, so there are no clues from past meetings. Overall this looks like a close game between two teams playing well, but West Ham being at home gives them a slight edge, so a narrow West Ham win looks the most likely outcome.
