West Ham is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 7 matches with their 2 losses in that span coming against Man City and Liverpool who are both in the top 2 of the table after 6 matches so far. Those 2 losses were also their last 2 Premier League matches so West Ham will be hungry to bounce back with a win here at home. When playing at home, they have won 2 of their 3 matches this season scoring 7 goals in those 3 matches. They are going up against a newly promoted Sheffield side that has been in awful form in their recent matches. They have lost 5 of their 6 matches this season with no wins in that span and they were even kicked out of the EFL Cup in the 1st round by Lincoln who plays League One. Their defense has been awful as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 Premier League matches and they are going to be very low on confidence here as they are coming off of an 8-0 loss at home in their last match. West Ham may have had a scare near the relegation zone last season but they do have a much better team than the way they performed and they did go on to win the Europa Conference League last season. Now West Ham has been in much better form to start the season and with their next Europa League match being on Thursday, they will be very focused on securing another 3 points in the league with a win at home against a struggling new team. West Ham will win this match at home, take West Ham -1 here.
