West Ham United aims to keep their hot streak alive in the Premier League when they face off against Luton Town this Friday night. After narrowly escaping relegation last season, the Hammers are off to a promising start this year.
David Moyes’ squad began with a draw at Bournemouth and then went on to secure 3-1 wins against Chelsea and Brighton. As a result, they currently sit in second place and could take the top spot with a win against Luton.
For Luton Town, this game is a momentous occasion. They had to postpone their first home game of the season to finish up some renovations at Kenilworth Road. Having faced tough losses to Brighton and Chelsea, they’re looking to bounce back and put on a show for their home crowd.
Odds and Betting Tips
Luton Town is entering the game as the underdogs, with 10/3 odds. Despite West Ham winning consecutive away games only once since January 2022, they’re the favorites for this match with 4/5 odds from Bet 365.
West Ham might be the favorites, but the odds seem a bit narrow to me. Instead, bet on Both Teams to Score, which is listed at 9/10. West Ham has struggled to keep clean sheets; they haven’t managed one in their first three games, and last season they allowed goals in 16 of their 19 away matches.
While Luton may not be known for their goal-scoring prowess, they’ll be relying on home-field advantage to make life tough for their opponents. With their fans behind them, they have a good shot at scoring against a West Ham defense that has shown some vulnerabilities.
