West Ham hosts West Brom at London Stadium in Championship Regular Season Round 13. The hosts occupy third place with 22 points from 12 games, while West Brom sit fifth with 21 points. West Ham are favoured by the market at 1.55, reflecting their superior league position and recent output, though the visitors arrive with a defensive record that warrants attention.
Team form
West Ham
West Ham have won three of their last five Championship matches, scoring 18 goals across that span. Their sole blemish came in a 2-2 draw at Millwall on 19 September, when they managed 66% possession and 1.87 expected goals but failed to convert dominance into victory. Before that they beat Wrexham 6-0, Bolton 3-2, Derby 3-0 and Wolves 4-2. Over the season they average 2.67 goals scored and 1.25 conceded per game. Nuno Espirito Santo's side operate in a 4-4-2 shape and have shown attacking intent, though their draw at Millwall hints at occasional profligacy in front of goal.
West Brom
West Brom have managed only one win in their last five outings—a 1-0 victory at Derby on 9 September. They drew 1-1 at home to QPR and at home to Charlton, then lost 0-1 at Wolves most recently on 20 September. That defeat saw them register just 0.29 expected goals and two shots on goal, a performance that underscores their struggle to create chances consistently. Across the season they average 1.33 goals scored and 1.08 conceded per game, a modest attacking return that places them among the division's less prolific sides. Their defensive solidity—conceding only 13 goals in 12 games—offers some foundation, but their attacking output remains a concern.
Head-to-head
The last five meetings between these clubs span from 2013 to 2018, with West Ham holding a narrow advantage. They won 2-1 at home in January 2018, but the previous four encounters produced three draws and one West Ham victory, all at London Stadium. The pattern suggests West Ham have held the upper hand at this venue, though West Brom have shown they can avoid heavy defeats in this fixture.
Key factors
West Ham's attacking potency—3.6 goals per game over their last five matches—contrasts sharply with West Brom's 0.8-goal average in the same period. The hosts' possession-based approach (66% in their last outing) should dominate territory, while West Brom's defensive discipline (79% pass accuracy, solid positioning) may frustrate but is unlikely to contain West Ham entirely. The bookmakers price both teams to score at 1.64, reflecting West Ham's attacking threat and West Brom's occasional vulnerability at the back. Over 2.5 goals trades at 1.61, suggesting the market expects an open game despite West Brom's defensive record.
Prediction
West Ham are the favourite on the basis of league position, recent form and home advantage. They have scored freely in recent weeks and face opponents whose attacking returns are among the weakest in the division. West Brom's last outing produced minimal chances, and while their defence has been reasonably compact, West Ham's creative output should test them. The model leans toward a West Ham win, though West Brom's defensive organisation and the historical pattern of draws in this fixture introduce uncertainty. A fairly open game is likely, with West Ham's superior attacking resources the decisive factor.
West Ham are favoured to win. Back the home victory at 1.55 as the most probable outcome, with both teams to score offering supplementary value given West Ham's attacking form and West Brom's defensive vulnerabilities.
