West Ham v Hull City is the the tonight’s match on the box – 8pm on Sky Sports 2. There has been a bit of money for West Ham this morning, and they are currently available to back at 4/5 with Paddy Power. I can’t say I’m a fan of betting at odds-on, but I have a feeling that this one will go the way of the favourite backers.

In the Premier League form table (last 6 matches), Hull City are a miserable 20th, having shipped 17 goals. They are friendless in the betting, and could drift further from their 4/1 mark. Despite their league form, they have beaten both Millwall and Newcastle in the FA Cup this month. In 4 matches away to top half clubs this season, they have scored 7 goals – which means I won’t be taking 11/5 that West Ham win to nil.

Club record signing Jimmy Bullard looks doubtful for this match, whereas the Hammers’ £10m Savio Nsereko could make his debut, and is 8/1 to score first. I’d much rather have 5/1 about Carlton Cole, who has scored 5 in his last 6.

Whilst I think 4/5 is a fair price for a Hammers victory, I won’t be smashing into the home side. Hull are interesting at 15/8 to open the scoring, just as Draw/West Ham is a tempting 7/2 in the HT/FT Result market.

Recommendation:

1/2 pt ew @ 5/1 Carlton Cole to Score First

1pt @ 7/2 Draw/West Ham HT/FT Market
