H2H: Burnley vs. West Ham – Prediction (Premier League

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Burnley have won two of their last three Premier League games against West Ham (L1), having won just one of their first seven against them in the competition (W1 D1 L5).

n a run of three-straight Premier League (PL) defeats, Burnley risk losing four on the spin for the first time since March. A clean sheet is paramount considering they’ve achieved one in their last five PL home wins, whilst scoring two or more in four of those victories. Chris Wood netted a brace in two of Burnley’s last four PL home wins, both ended 2-0. Sean Dyche’s side conceded three first-half PL goals last time out, something they previously suffered back in December 2018. They bounced back from that particular game by winning their next four competitive matches, and will now hope for something similar here, although an average first-half PL record this season may hold them back (W2, D5, L4).

Just two of Burnley’s last nine PL home fixtures saw both teams score. West Ham are unbeaten in five of their last six trips to Burnley (W3, D2). West Ham have been drawing at half-time in four of their five PL away contests.

West Ham United are winless in their last six competitive games (D2, L4), conceding an average of 2.33 goals per fixture across that period. They’re also winless in their last four away in all competitions, failing to score in three. The ‘Hammers’ have won only three of their last 15 PL away fixtures, but have won five of their last six away when keeping a clean sheet. Robert Snodgrass has scored six of his last 11 club goals away from home, and has netted two of West Ham’s last three. Scoring the opener in seven of their 11 PL clashes this season offers some encouragement, especially as they’ve avoided defeat in six of those games (W3, D3). West Ham must sharpen up midway through the first half though as all their PL goals conceded in the opening 45 came between the 16th and 30th minute.
