West Ham has demonstrated its worth in the match against Newcastle. This major victory has demonstrated that Manuel Pellegrini's coaching ideas are still valid. However, the team's existence is complicated by a lot of traumas. Sanchez, Yarmolenko, Reed, Lanzini - all are out of action for a while.

Cardiff was initially considered to be an outsider. It seemed that classic football with long passes is outdated, but the Welsh have already surprised a couple of their opponents. The team has steadily dealt with Wolverhampton. Yet, Cardiff is a typical home team as it scored only one point in visiting games.

This game will not be easy for West Ham. Even if the hosts are likely to win, there should be a minor score difference. The Welsh conceded only a single goal from Everton. It is unlikely that they will concede two or more in this match.
