Luton have not gained a single point yet from the first two rounds of the Premier League this campaign. West Ham account for seven from their opening three games, earning them a place as number two in the table.

West Ham have made a fine start to their campaign in the Premier League and momentum is on their side before taking on Luton.

Luton scored one times in the last two outings for an average of 0.5 goals a game. They conceded seven and managed zero clean sheets.

West Ham scored 16 goals, conceded 17 and kept their opponents from scoring one times in their last ten matches.

This will be the inaugural meeting between Luton and West Ham in the Premier League in this century, thus providing a completely unprecedented situation for both teams.

Luton vs West Ham Prediction

Luton Form

Luton lost twice in their last three matches, as they were defeated 4-1 by Brighton and 3-0 against Chelsea. They turned the table by winning 3-2 against Gillingham.

It has the look of a season in which a relegation battle will play a major part for Luton, who naturally dream of extending their stay in the Premier League.

West Ham Form

In their last three matches, West Ham drew 1-1 with Bournemouth, beat Chelsea by 3-1 and beat Brighton by 1-3. West Ham managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 13 time and letting in eight.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly West Ham might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

It seems both West Ham and Luton have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Friday, and we are rooting for goals.
