Premier League, played Friday, September 1st, 2023
Here is our Luton v West Ham tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a West Ham away win. Our confidence in this tip was low relative to other tips.
Friday night's fixture in the Premier League features this upcoming clash between Luton Town and West Ham at Kenilworth Road in what will be Luton Town's first home game of the season in the league after extensive work on the ground was completed recently.
This will no doubt be a huge relief for newly promoted Luton Town as they search for their first win of this new campaign in the Premier League and having been handed back-to-back defeats on the road at Brighton 4-1 and Chelsea 3-0, Luton know that form and results on home soil this season will be crucial to their Premier League survival.
The Hatters actually played their first competitive match at Kenilworth Road this season on Tuesday night where they registered a 3-2 home win against League Two outfit, Gillingham, in the 2nd round of the EFL Cup and this will give the hosts a welcome boost ahead of this tough looking clash against West Ham on Friday night, despite holding home advantage.
The bigger picture shows Luton Town are unbeaten in their last 10 matches at home in all competitions which includes picking up eight wins.
West Ham have made an impressive start to their new Premier League campaign as The Hammers have picked up seven points from their opening three games of the new term and the London club still remain unbeaten so far this season.
A point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Bournemouth on the opening day of the season was followed by back-to-back wins against London rivals, Chelsea, 3-1 at home and then David Moyes' side recorded an impressive 3-1 win away at Brighton at the AMEX Stadium where not many teams get the better of The Seagulls.
The visitors have also had the benefit of not being involved in the League Cup in midweek this week as well as West Ham qualified for Europe involvement this term following last season's triumph in the final of the Europa Conference League when they beat Fiorentina 2-1.
The bigger picture shows West Ham have lost just two of their previous 10 games in all competitions (both losses coming in pre-season friendlies), while on their travels, West Ham have lost just twice in their last nine outings on the road.
Luton Town v West Ham Verdict
A sell-out crowd is expected at Kenilworth Road on Friday night for this upcoming fixture as Luton Town finally play their first home game ever in the Premier League but Luton Town are likely to have their work cut out against a confident West Ham side who are aiming to make it three wins on the trot in the English top flight.
Therefore, our main bet will be West Ham win @ 1.75
