This is a match from the FA Cup. This weekend, there will be only FA Cup matches in England, no regular Premier League.
But i like this game, because i think there is a motivation and quality gap between the teams. Tony Pulis was brought by WBA for one thing, saving them from relegation. Despite winning 2-0 vs Swansea, they are still not doing great, because Crystal Palace has changed it’s manager and also Aston Villa, so these 2 teams will certainly be stiff competition for WBA.

West Ham has slowly lost contact with the top teams and it seems their only chance of getting a place in Europe is winning the cup. They really invested some effort into this, replaying the match with Everton and eventually winning on penalties. So they played 90 + 90 + 30 minutes of football, and i expect them to be just as motivated today.
I do not understand the odds today, but i expect WBA to start with a lot of reserves in the lineup, whereas West Ham to start with 7-8 regulars and maybe some rotation players. So given the circumstances and the projected lineups, the odds of 1.8 for West Ham +0 asian handicap seem very good to me and that will be my prediction on the clash. I think West Ham will win and qualify today and at the worst case scenario it will be a draw and a void bet. Good Luck!
