Luton Town finally gets a home game in the EPL after a long wait and a chance to earn their first points in their return to the Premiership. They finally won (against a League 2 club in a nailbiter) but are coming off only 2 days of rest and so some might be suffering the effects. Unfortunately, they are against the red-hot Hammers who soundly beat the two teams Luton lost to (Brighton and Chelsea). Luton is a little light on the backline as they have 3 out to injury so they may be hard-pressed to deal with West Ham’s strong counter-attacking form.
West Ham has attackers Bowen and Ward-Prowse in form and has added Kudus who is fresh off a hat-trick in his last game with Ajax. West Ham has scored the 3rd most goals in the EPL, while Luton town have conceded the most goals (in only two matches). The Hammers Xgoal- diff/90 is +0.21 while Luton’s is -2.16. This all adds up to a bleak outlook for the hometown Luton and all the reasons lined up to lay the goals and take West Ham.
