Form

West Ham United are currently ninth in the Premier League with a return of 49 points from their 36 matches so far. However, the Hammers aren’t currently in the best form, winning just one of their last nine league games.

The Hammers were on the receiving end of a 5-0 loss at rivals, Chelsea last weekend whilst their most recent match at the London Stadium saw them hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw.

Luton Town look set for an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship as Rob Edwards side are three points from safety but with a far inferior goal difference to Nottingham Forest in 17th. The Hatters halted a run of three straight losses by drawing 1-1 at home to Everton last weekend but they are now winless in four Premier League matches. Away from Kenilworth Road, Luton Town have recorded five straight defeats and have failed to win any of their nine away league games in 2024.

West Ham United v Luton Town: Head-to-Head

The reverse fixture between these sides at Kenilworth Road was the only meeting between West Ham United and Luton Town in the past 30 years. West Ham United earned a 2-1 win in that fixture back in September thanks to goals in each half from Jarrod Bowen and Kurt Zouma.

Betting Tips

West Ham United have been coasting towards the end of the season and as a result have been one of the worst-performing sides in the Premier League in recent weeks. However, David Moyes will want to bow out on a high so we’re backing the hosts to take all three points on Saturday at odds of 4/6.

A defeat would confirm Luton Town’s relegation and we’re not expecting the visitors to go down without a fight. Both teams have scored in 14 of Luton Town’s last 15 league games whilst West Ham United have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 consecutive league games. Both teams to score seems a sure thing and is currently priced at 4/9 whilst over 2.5 match goals should be equally as popular at 2/5.

Jarrod Bowen (16) and Carlton Morris (10) have both iht double figures for Premier League goals this season and will prove extremely popular in the various goalscorer markets. Bowen was on target in the reverse fixture back in September and also netted the opening goal in West Ham United’s most recent home league game against Liverpool whilst Morris scored his tenth league goal of the campaign in Luton Town’s most recent away league game at Wolves.

Prior to West Ham United’s 5-0 loss at Chelsea, Bowen’s West Ham teammate, Michael Antonio had scored in three consecutive matches for Saturday’s hosts and could be the best value pick in the various goalscorer markets at the weekend.
