West Ham United form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for West Ham United at their home stadium (London Stadium) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 200 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.

Happy days for West Ham in their previous game, a FA Cup match away at Stockport County that ended with a 1-0 victory. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Everton.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how West Ham United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for West Ham as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. West Bromwich Albion are visiting.

A decent goal production from West Ham in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. West Ham's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Burnley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burnley so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose).

Burnley's previous game was their home loss versus Manchester United (0-1). A draw for Burnley before that, at their own venue hosting Milton Keynes Dons (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) (1-1).

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope had a great day against Manchester United, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

We have checked recent matches where Burnley have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were four victories, three draws and zero defeats.

Burnley are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. Burnley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

West Ham United-Burnley H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: West Ham United five wins, Burnley four wins, one draw. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
