West Ham vs Luton Prediction

West Ham Form

A draw is the best West Ham can show from their last three games, where they came up short in a 5-2 defeat against Crystal Palace. A2-2 draw with Liverpool followed before they were defeated 5-0 by Chelsea. West Ham only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at London Stadium in the Premier League. They also drew four and lost one of these six encounters, in which they scored ten and conceded ten goals.

Luton Form

A single point prevents Luton from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 1-5 and 2-1 against Brentford and Wolverhampton, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 1-1 draw against Everton. Luton didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 16 and scored seven goals themselves.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Luton, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Both West Ham and Luton seem a little too focused on not losing than actually chasing a win, and as such, the draw is a tasty value bet from our perspective.

West Ham took 31 points from their last 19 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to nine wins after scoring 33 times and conceding 32. Luton claimed two wins and eight points from their last 19 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League, while scoring 25 goals to 47 against. West Ham are looking at a record of 13 wins, ten draws and 13 defeats in the Premier League this season. Luton are looking at six wins, eight draws and 22 defeats in the Premier League.
