Form Guides

Form Guides

West Ham United Form Guide

West Ham United continued their impressive run of form on Tuesday night when they ran out 2-3 winners away to Bolton courtesy of a brace from Jarrod Bowen and a goal from Konstantinos Mavropanos, which was their third consecutive win in the EFL Championship.

The Hammers have now climbed to 2nd in the table following their four-game unbeaten streak in the league and only trail early league-leaders West Brom by two points, who they’re scheduled to face at the end of next month. Following their win on Tuesday, they’re also the highest scorers in the division with 14 goals scored.

Though the goalscorers often receive the bulk of the attention, the performance from summer signing Arne Engels, who came from Celtic, was phenomenal centrally midweek, making 33/36 passes, providing one assist, making four defensive contributions and winning 5/6 ground duels.

Wrexham Form Guide

Wrexham come into this fixture on the back of a competitive showing against a strong Burnley side on Tuesday night at the Racecourse Ground, fighting back from an early opener from Zeki Amdouni in the 20th minute, which was cancelled out by a goal from Jacques Ekomié to earn them a point.

The Red Dragons are in 14th position following seven points from their first six league games of the season. Phil Parkinson has been managing the club since July 2021, and has guided them to promotion from the National League , League 2 and League 1 before finishing seventh last season in the Championship, only two points off the playoff places.

The key thing to watch with this Wrexham side is the 3-4-2-1 system employed by Phil Parkinson, but specifically the importance it places on the wingbacks, both Issa Kaboré on the right-hand side and Jacques Ekomié on the left-hand side. Both players are athletic, aggressive and dangerous going forward for opposing defences.

Betting Tips

West Ham United vs Wrexham Betting Tips

West Ham United Win – 8/15

The Hammers are unbeaten in their last five fixtures in all competitions, including four victories and three on-the-spin following their 2-3 win over Bolton midweek.

You get the sense that this West Ham United side could make a habit of blowing sides away with their attacking threat this season, and I fancy them to do so again come Friday night.

Jarrod Bowen First Goalscorer – 9/2

The West Ham United captain has been his exceptional self on the right wing this season with 5 goals and 3 assists from his eight games in all competitions.

After picking up the opener midweek against Bolton , you’d be foolish to rule him out of repeating said trick on Friday against Wrexham .

9/2

Home Goals Over 2.5 Goals – 17/10

The Championship top-scorers have really found their way in front of goal in their last three league games, scoring 10 times for an average of 3.3 goals per game.

With bundles of attacking talent throughout the squad, I can see their scoring streak extending further in this fixture.
