The second round of the Carabao Cup will see Southampton take on West Ham at St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday. The last match between these two ended 1-1, and our prediction is that both teams will get on the scoresheet in this one as well.
Southampton had a turbulent end to last season that included being disqualified from the Championship Playoffs, but they will be looking to put that behind them this term.
The Saints beat Colchester in the opening round of the Carabao Cup before splitting their first two league games of the season, losing 2-1 to Watford and beating Stoke City 3-1 last week.
The hosts have been excellent at home in recent times, currently unbeaten in their last 12 matches at St. Mary’s across all competitions, while scoring two or more goals in nine of those games.
Meanwhile, West Ham United suffered a shocking relegation from the top flight last term, and their start to this season has created concerns around their chances of immediate promotion.
After beating Portsmouth 3-1 in the first round of this competition, the Hammers played to a 2-2 draw away to Burnley before losing 2-1 to Charlton in their first home league game of the season.
The visitors are currently winless in their last five competitive away games and have failed to score in three matches during this period.

Our Southampton vs West Ham Prediction
After a turbulent end to last season, Southampton have experienced a mixed start to the 2026-27 campaign. They have scored two or more goals in each of their three games this term, but failed to keep a clean sheet in their last two.
West Ham, on the other hand, have had a disappointing start to their season, and a major contributing factor to their record has been a leaky defence that has already shipped five goals in three matches. Therefore, our Southampton vs West Ham prediction is BTTS.
