West Ham United form and stats

With 3 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, West Ham United are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, the manager D. Moyes led his West Ham United to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Liverpool. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at London Stadium. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Manchester City.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how West Ham United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost three.

The West Ham United fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 13 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.
