Match preview

Our model makes West Ham slight favourites, giving them a 50% chance of winning against 21% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 1.98 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.7 goals in total (1.57 for Cardiff, 2.12 for West Ham), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Cardiff sit 17th on 14 points; West Ham are 8th on 22.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
