West Ham United - Luton Town predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.87, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with West Ham United, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

West Ham’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Chelsea as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 5:0 loss for The Hammers.

The away team ended the previous league matchup with a 1:1 draw, and the two teams were neck-to-neck throughout the game. The 2.62 odds didn’t exactly favour Luton Town, so the fact that a home game ended with such a lukewarm score is not all bad.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Given 8 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Luton Town's defensive line is much to be desired.

Luton Town are in a very difficult situation going into round 37. They are quickly running out of time to earn 0 points they need to avoid relegation. To make matters worse, their chances of beating West Ham are not great.

It will be interesting to see if Luton Town manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with The Hammers this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Nayef Aguerd, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Kalvin Phillips for the hosts, and Tom Lockyer, Amari Bell, Daniel Potts, Chiedozie Ogbene, Mads Juel Andersen, Issa Kabore, Jacob Brown for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.44 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
