Game Prediction
On May 11, 2024, a match of the 37th round of the English Premier League will be held between West Ham and Luton Town. The hosts can already sum up the results of the season, having lost the fight for a place in the European competition, and the guests are still hoping to escape relegation.
Key statistics and trends:
- West Ham cannot win at the home arena, including the Europa League, 5 matches in a row – a defeat and 4 draws.
- Moyes’ wards have conceded in 8 matches in a row on the native field in the Premier League.
- Luton Town hasn’t taken a point from its 5 previous away games and hasn’t won a Premier League away game since the start of 2024.
- West Ham scored 25% and Luton Town 40% of goals between the 76th and 90th minutes of the confrontations.
West Ham – the shape of the team and its analysis: the end of the season is overwhelmed
“The Hammers”, represented by their management, contributed to this – it is no secret that they are actively negotiating for a new manager, wanting to replace Moyes in the summer. As a result, there is no need to be surprised by the incredible Bayer’s success in the Europa League. By the way, the British club, after a 0-2 result in Leverkusen, opened the score in the return semi-final, so there was a chance for a different outcome. Having left the European arena, “the Hammers” were completely blown away in the Premier League. They already had only 3 victories there in 2024. The victory over Wolverhampton was followed by the failures in the struggles with Fulham and Crystal Palace, and Liverpool was allowed to take the lead, but then the team won back. Again, nothing worked out against Chelsea – the club didn’t respond to 5 goals it conceded.
Luton Town – the shape of the team and its analysis: even reduced competition doesn’t help
“The Hatters” could not simply find themselves in more favourable conditions in the Premier League. Unexpectedly the newcomers, Sheffield United and Burnley, are very weak and Everton and Nottingham Forest are punished – it is enough to be better than 3 of them. Still, Edwards’ wards themselves are not strong enough to even break the 30-point mark in this season. There was a good stretch in the winter, but it’s hard to count on success, having won only once with a couple of draws, starting in mid-February. As for the battle against Everton, the team limited itself only to a draw – a result that hardly anyone liked.
