Goals galore in the derby<\/p>\n
Nuno has coached his West Ham team to be ruthless in the attacking third of the pitch. The Hammers lead the division for goals scored, with 22 goals in eight matches. They\u2019re averaging 2.75 goals per 90 in the Championship.<\/p>\n
At the London Stadium, the home side scored a staggering 14 goals in just four matches, at an average of 3.5 goals per match. Those figures would concern any defence, even the second-best in the division. The Hoops conceded seven goals in their eight games, just three in their four away dates.<\/p>\n
They haven\u2019t scored a huge number of goals, but they\u2019re good enough to trouble the hosts. With both teams scoring in 75% of West Ham\u2019s league matches this term, there will likely be goals at either end. It\u2019s also worth noting that each of the Hammers\u2019 last six games in all competitions produced more than two goals on the day.<\/p>\n
West Ham United vs Queens Park Rangers Bet 1: Total & BTTS – Over 2.5 goals & Yes @ -132 with BetMGM<\/a>Refreshed after the break<\/p>\n As the leading goalscorers in the Championship, we expect West Ham to deliver an intense performance from the start. Their two best performers in front of goal are centre back Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jarrod Bowen. Both players have scored four league goals this term, accounting for 36% of the club\u2019s total.<\/p>\n Bowen is a constant threat for the Hammers. He has scored four goals in his last six appearances for the club and also recorded two assists. He came off the bench in one of those games. Although he blanked against Millwall, Bowen took three shots, the most of any West Ham player.<\/p>\n He had two shots blocked in that game and still managed to create one big chance for his teammates. Bowen should be eager to make an impact after missing out on the England squad during the international break. Backing him to score at least once on Friday night makes sense, especially given his recent form.<\/p>\n
