The Hammers, on the other hand, will be looking to continue their bright start to the season. After game week 3, they are joint-second on the Premier League table with seven points. In advance of the upcoming match we will be providing you with our Luton Town vs. West Ham betting tips.
Luton Town Searching for First Season Victory in the EPL
The Hatters’ slow start in the Premier League is quite understandable. They have been greeted with away fixtures against stronger sides. They barely managed 30% ball possession and had only three attempts on target in their 4-1 defeat against Brighton in game week one.
Events took a similar turn against Chelsea, where Raheem Sterling's brace and Jackson's first goal in the blue shirt sank them in the hallowed grounds of Stamford Bridge. Rob Edwards’ men chased the ball in their own half for the most part of the 90 minutes. Their only effort on target was Ryan Gille's attempt in the 61st minute.
Alfie Doughty, Cauley Woodrow, and Jacob Brown’s goals saw Luton Town past Gillingham in the EFL Cup. Our Luton Town sports betting prediction is that they will be looking to extend this feat to the Premier League on Friday. Jordan Clark and Dan Potts won't return from injury until mid-September, while Gabriel Osho remains doubtful for the fixture. Edwards may switch from the 4-3-2-1 formation that defeated Gillingham to 5-3-2 to contain the threats of the Hammers.
West Ham’s Spectacular Start
After their opening game draw at Vitality Stadium against Bournemouth, West Ham have put on an impressive show in the Premier League. They have been ironic champions to Luton Town, having hammered Luton's tormentors, Chelsea and Brighton, with similar scorelines.
The loss of Declan Rice to Arsenal has not impacted the team negatively as many had predicted before the start of the season. They have won two and drawn one of their opening three fixtures, scoring seven and conceding three. The resilience of the ten men against Chelsea and their ability to score two more goals after Aguerd’s red card shows how tough the team is.
Antonio, Bowen, and Ward-Prowse were on target in the match against Brighton. The three have scored five goals between them this season. With Aguerd's return from suspension and the signing of Mohamed Qudus, our West Ham sports betting prediction is that they can win this matchup.
While there isn’t an extensive H2H record between these two sides, the club-friendly match that took place at Kenilworth Road in July 2022 is enough testament to the excitement this Friday fixture can offer. The match ended in a 1-1 stalemate after Bradley scored a 91st-minute stunner to cancel out Soucek's 27th-minute goal. At this time, Luton Town was third in the Championship table, while West Ham sat 14th in the Premier League table. Considering their short history our Luton Town vs. West Ham prediction is that the hammers are likely to emerge victorious.

Our Betting Tip for Today
We expect West Ham to continue their impressive winning record in the Premier League on Friday.
West Ham are the clear favourites
The hammers are only second best to Manchester City in the EPL table standings, having won two tough fixtures and netted seven goals (the third most). The Hatters, on the other hand, sit at the 19th position on the table, having lost their two opening matches. Also Luton Town vs. West Ham odds on
betting apps
indicate that West Ham are the favourites and Luton Town are the Underdogs in this match.
Their seemingly unimpressive 3-2 victory in the EFL cup on Tuesday came against a second-placed Gillingham in League Two (The fourth division below the Premier League). While Rob Edwards' side has injury concerns, West Ham will benefit from a strong lineup further bolstered by the presence of their new Ghanaian attacker, Qudus. Mohammed Qudus recently showcased his skills by scoring 3 goals for Ajax against Ludogorets in the UEFA Europa League playoff last Thursday. Considering both teams recent form, h2h record, and odds, our betting tip is to use a
