Arsenal FC – West Ham United
1X2, Regular part of the
match
Match Overview: In the 26th round, we have a Face-off between
Arsenal and West Ham at 16:00. The Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino had to step up as
a temporary striker and contributed to Arsenal's third consecutive Premier League
victory, though they still trail behind the leaders, Liverpool. The Reds are not in
peak form, having recently drawn, making the race for the title quite competitive.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is dealing with increasing injury concerns, with Kai Havertz now
out due to a hamstring injury, forcing coach Mikel Arteta to make tactical
adjustments. The club is determined to extend its undefeated streak at home to 15
league matches (11 wins, 4 draws). During this stretch, they've managed to beat
their London rivals twice, boosting their confidence ahead of five consecutive
derbies at the Emirates Stadium. Additionally, they've scored a remarkable 11 goals
in their last two encounters with West Ham. Graham Potter has led West Ham through
five Premier League matches, with four being London derbies, but the outcomes have
been disappointing (1 win, 1 draw, and 4 losses across all competitions). While the
club is comfortably above the relegation zone, injuries to key forwards like Niclas
Füllkrug, Crysencio Summerville, and Michail Antonio, who will be sidelined for a
few weeks, pose challenges. Nevertheless, Edson Álvarez and James Ward-Prowse are
available, although some fans are dissatisfied with the team’s progress following
the departure of Julen Lopetegui. West Ham's away form has been poor, managing just
one win in their last seven away games (2 draws, 4 losses). Interestingly, they
triumphed 2-0 at the Emirates last year, snapping an eight-match losing streak
against Arsenal at that venue. Tomáš Souček scored the opener for West Ham in
their
last encounter but may face a booking this time, as he’s received three cautions
in
the past five matches.
In their last six matches against West Ham, an average of 4.5 goals per game has been recorded.
Arsenal's home record this season: 8 wins, 4 draws, 0 losses.
Kai Havertz stands as Arsenal's top scorer with 9 goals, while Jarrod Bowen has found the net 6 times for West Ham.

1X2, Regular part of the match
Match Overview: In the 22nd round of the Slovenian First League, we
will witness a clash between Maribor and Mura at Ljudski vrt at 15:00. Maribor
occupies the third spot in the standings with 39 points, while Mura is sixth with 26
points. This match holds significant importance for both teams—Maribor aims to
stay
competitive for the top three spots, while Mura is in pursuit of positions leading
to European competition. However, the reality for both clubs this season is far
removed from the championship title; for Maribor, and for Mura, it’s about
securing
European qualifications. Both teams are struggling to find consistency this year.
Maribor has seen three wins and three losses in their last six matches. Recently
losing 2-3 to Bravo, before that, they managed to secure victories against Celje and
Domžale. Their attacking play has been exceptional, having netted 37 goals this
season, making it the league's most powerful offense. At home, they boast a
formidable record with seven wins, two draws, and just one loss from ten matches.
Mura, on the other hand, has recorded two wins, two draws, and two losses in their
last six matches. Their attack hasn't been as effective as Maribor's, scoring only
23 goals this season. Their defense is also vulnerable, having conceded 25 goals.
Their last match ended in a goalless draw with Celje, indicating they possess some
quality. The statistics from their previous encounters strongly favor Maribor, with
16 wins to Mura's two in their last 25 meetings. Ljudski vrt has been a fortress, as
Mura has failed to win in their last six visits. The teams have met twice already
this season—Maribor won 2-1 in August and the teams drew 1-1 in October. Arnel
Jakupović is one of Maribor's key players, having scored five goals in his last
five
appearances. Orphe Mbina and Benjamin Tetteh are also threats in attack. Mura will
rely on Amadej Maroša and Dario Vizinger, who are the team's top scorers with seven
goals apiece. Given their form and the statistics from their encounters, Maribor is
the clear favorite, but they've experienced setbacks this season.
Maribor remains unbeaten at home against Mura in their last six meetings.
Maribor's home performance this season shows: 7 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss.
Betting odds: Bookmaker Bet at home The odds for
a Maribor win stand at 1.63. A draw is offered at 3.85, while Mura's away victory
has betting odds of 4.90.
