West Ham United face Burnley in the Premier League this weekend in what is a huge game for both sides heading into the weekend.
West Ham have won just one of their last five matches, suffering three defeats over that span. Their results have included a 2-1 loss to Leeds and 2-0 defeats to Arsenal and Brentford. Defensively, West Ham have conceded frequently in recent games, shipping 13 goals in their last seven outings, while their goalscoring has been limited, with an average of just one goal per game scored. Their recent matches have rarely produced high-scoring affairs, with just two of their last five games seeing over 2.5 goals scored, while BTTS has occurred in three of their last five.
Burnley have shown slightly better form in their last five matches, with two wins and three losses. Their attacking output has been more effective, with nine goals scored across their last five games. Burnley’s defence has been leaky, though, with eleven goals conceded in their last five, although five of those came away at Manchester City, which isn't the fairest reflection.
Looking at home and away form, West Ham have struggled to pick up points at home recently, with just one win from their last five at the London Stadium. Equally, the Clarets have managed only one win on the road this season, with BTTS occurring in all of their last four away games.
Head-to-head encounters between the two clubs in the Premier League have generally been tight affairs, with three draws from the last four clashes. Considering where these two teams are and their recent results, we expect this one to end honours even.
West Ham 1-1 Burnley
