Lowly team West Bromwich Albion FC (10-14-11, 41 points) is set to host contending squad West Ham United FC (14-6-14, 56 points) at their home field of the Hawthorns on Saturday, April 30th as the 2015-2016 Premier League season slowly comes down to a close.
West Brom is at the 13th spot of the current league table, safely 10 points above the bottom three relegation zone with only three matchdays left before season's end. However, they are also a long 15 points away from the last Europa League qualifying spot presently held by sixth-placed team West Ham United.
The Baggies will now try to end their season on a high note as they look forward to another campaign in England's first division association football competitions next season.
Manager Tony Pulis' side is coming off a 1-1 draw with second-running squad Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane on Monday to snap a three-game losing skid, as per BBC Sport.
An own goal by Baggies' Craig Dawson opened the scoring at the 33rd minute of the match while the English defender also equalized the count at the 73rd minute in the second half to redeem himself from the error.
Meanwhile, West Ham routed Watford, 3-1, in their meeting at their home stadium of Upton Park on April 20th, as reported by SkySports.
The Hammers scored the first three goals of the contest, courtesy of English striker Andy Carroll's opening goal at the 11th minute and a brace from team captain Mark Noble at the 45th and 53rd minutes both from penalty kicks.
Austrian defender Sebastian Prödl netted a consolation goal for the Hornets at the 64th before teammate Nordin Amrabat was sent off in stoppage time after getting booked for a second yellow card.
As mentioned above, West Ham holds the last Europa League qualifying berth at the no. 6 spot of the league table. They are three points behind fifth-placed team Manchester United and eight points below fourth-running Arsenal for the last Champions League spot with four games remaining in their current campaign.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 victory for West Ham United.
