West Ham enter this Championship fixture at their ground with a clear edge in recent output. Over their last 10 games across all venues, they have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2, scoring 3 goals per game while conceding 1.3. Their xG figures over the last four matches with data show 1.82 created per game against 1.09 conceded, a gap that points to a team generating more than it absorbs. At home over 20 games, West Ham have won 8, drawn 7 and lost 5, scoring 2.1 per game and conceding 1.2.
West Brom, by contrast, have won 4 of their last 10, drawing 3 and losing 3, with 1.1 goals scored per game. Their away record over 20 games is 9 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, but their recent away form is mixed: a 1–1 draw at Preston on 24 October, a 2–1 win at Wrexham on 13 October, and a 0–1 loss at Wolves on 20 September. Their xG over seven matches with data shows 1.4 created per game and 1.37 conceded, figures that show West Brom creating less and conceding more than West Ham.
The head-to-head is entirely historical, with no meetings within the last 12 months. The five older meetings span from 2017 to 2021, with West Ham winning 3, West Brom winning 1 and one draw. At West Ham's ground in those older games, West Ham won 2 and lost 1. This record is dated and does not reflect current form.
The counter-argument centres on West Ham's recent home results. They lost 2–3 to Southampton at home on 24 October and drew 1–1 with QPR on 9 October. Two of their last two home games have ended without a win. West Brom, meanwhile, have won 2 of their last 5 and scored in 3 of those 5, including a 3–2 home win over Blackburn on 17 October that showed they can compete in open games.

- West Ham have won 6 of their last 10 games, scoring 3 per game, while West Brom have won 4 of 10, scoring 1.1 per game.
