Does anyone have an opinion on this game? We saw yesterday that Newcastle comprehensively beat Sydney another A league side, so i imagine today could be the same outcome.
Squads are:
West Ham
Mo Diame (35/4), Winston Reid (22/1), Jussi Jaaskelainen (18/0 GK), Kevin Nolan (33/7), Carlton Cole (16/6), James Tomkins (31/0), Matt Jarvis (32/2), Dan Potts, Andy Carrol (15/2)l, Sam Howes, Stewart Downing (32/1), Daniel Whitehead, Ricardo Vaz Te (8/2), Adrian (20/0), Matthias Fanimo, Mark Noble (38/3), Joey O’Brien (17/0), Leo Chambers, James Collins (24/1), Guy Demel (32/1) and newcomers Mauro Zarate (Velez Sarsfield, undisclosed), Cheikhou Kouyaté (Anderlecht, £7m), Aaron Cresswell (Ipswich Town, undisclosed) Diego Poyet (Charlton, free)
Wellington Phoenix
Glen Moss, Michael Boxall, Ben Sigmund, Andrew Durante (c), Josh Brindell-South, Manny Muscat, Albert Riera, Alejandro Gorrin, Kenny Cunningham, Tyler Boyd, Michael McGlinchey, Tom Doyle, Jeremy Brockie, Roy Krishna, Reece Caira, Jason Hicks, Alex Rufer, Lewis Italiano, Louis Fenton, Matthew Ridenton, Nathan Burns
Now i don't know much about West Ham so was hoping others on here with a bit more EPL knowledge may be able to help out.. Is this a strong squad for West Ham?
I'm leaning on the over as Wellington conceded alot of goals last season and finished 2nd bottom in the A league.
However the AH -1 on West Ham is also paying well... I dont see Wellington winning this match even though it's on home soil, the gap in quality between A league and EPL is too great.
Your thoughts please
