West Ham vs Luton Prediction & Match Preview

West Ham vs Luton Match Preview

• Luton have conceded 15 goals in the last 5 away defeats in the Premier League.
• West Ham shipped 12 goals in the previous three league outings.
• Jarrod Bowen has 16 goals to his name this season. He is now up against the second-worst defensive line in the league in the last home match of the campaign.

Luton missed a big opportunity to claim a victory last Friday when they only drew 1-1 to Everton at Kenilworth Road. The stalemate left them three points behind Nottingham Forest in the safe zone. The Hatters will only have two more chances to annul this deficit.

Next up for Rob Edwards and his men are West Ham. The Hammers have not been pulling up any trees recently. They’ll go into this off the back of a 0-5 defeat at Chelsea last weekend. It was the second time in the last three league rounds that David Moyes’ troops have conceded five goals.

West Ham dropped to the 9th position in the Premier League standings after a six-game winless thread. This will be the music to the ears of Rob Edwards and his men who did not exactly shine themselves in recent weeks either.

Recent Meetings

• West Ham head into this on the back of three wins and two draws in the last five meetings with the Hatters.
• The Hammers celebrated a 2-1 victory in this season’s reverse game in September last year at Kenilworth Road.
• Just one of the last five H2H meetings between these rivals saw three or more goals scored.

West Ham vs Luton Prediction

Luton are in a much greater need for points but this is also West Ham’s last home match of the season. The latest news say that the team will part ways with head coach David Moyes at the end of the season. The players will want to give him a victorious farewell from London Stadium.

The match against Luton indeed provides a great chance for such an accomplishment. The Hatters have lost five consecutive away outings in the Premier League. They’ve allowed at least two goals in each of these defeats in the process.

Since neither West Ham nor Luton seem to be capable of defending these days, we have reasons to expect a goal fest on Saturday afternoon at London Stadium. In these circumstances, the Over 3.5 goals bet is our main betting option at the 2.10 odds.

David Moyes has already stated on numerous occasions that he would like to see Jarrod Bowen amass the 20-goal tally for the season.

Bowen currently has 16 goals to his name. The home match against Luton will give him loads of opportunities to add to this already-impressive tally.

We see the value in backing West Ham’s best player to score anytime against the second-worst defence in the division at the 2.40 odds.
