West Ham United’s Tactical Approach: Gearing up for Success Amidst Trials
Key Stats
– The Hammers conceded an average of 0.6 goals per game during the previous season.
– West Ham recorded six clean sheets last season.
A month since West Ham United broke their protracted trophy drought, they are already in the process of preparing for the upcoming 2023-24 season. The Hammers’ impressive Europa Conference League victory has recharged their spirits, and now they turn their attention to the National League team, Boreham Wood, for their first pre-season engagement.
West Ham’s season-ending performance against Fiorentina in Prague was nothing short of magnificent. The team delivered the club’s first major silverware since 1980. Their triumph, however, was swiftly followed by a well-deserved rest, which concluded when the Europa Conference League champions returned to training recently.
Confronting the Challenges
Several team members found their exhausting 2022-23 season extended due to their involvement in international football. These players will be granted a more extended break. The remaining members of the Premier League team returned to the Rush Green training facility midweek to start gearing up for a season where they aim to claim consecutive continental titles in the Europa League.

Manager David Moyes, bereft of his senior internationals scheduled for a mid-July return, is ready to kick off the post-Declan Rice era. Moyes, in collaboration with the recruitment department, is working assiduously to identify an apt successor for his inspiring captain.
Early Preparations
Even with their Premier League campaign’s opening match against Bournemouth a month away, West Ham are kicking off their warm-up games early. This includes a tour of Australia where they will square off with A-League side Perth Glory and their London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur.
An Unresolved History
Interestingly, West Ham found themselves in a similar position last year when they were hosted by Boreham Wood at Meadow Park, leading to a 1-1 draw. The Wood, under the stewardship of veteran boss Luke Garrard, are currently preparing for their eighth consecutive campaign in the fifth tier.
The Form Guide
West Ham’s form guide showcases an impressive mix of victories and losses (W-L-W-W-L-W), revealing their potential for a consistent performance. Conversely, Boreham Wood’s recent form, especially their goalless draw against Watford, suggests they are a formidable side capable of staunch defence. This could potentially make things challenging for West Ham, still in their pre-season and lacking full match fitness.
Tactical Lineups and Predictions
With David Moyes set to be without several key players due to their international commitments, he is expected to field a lineup combining seasoned squad members and promising youngsters. Among those returning to training are Conference League final hero Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals, Emerson Palmieri, and Angelo Ogbonna.
However, factoring in West Ham’s previous season data, particularly their impressive goal-scoring record, averaging 2.2 goals per game, and a robust defence, conceding only 0.6 goals per game, they certainly possess the firepower and fortitude to secure a victory.
Score Predictions
Given West Ham’s superior quality and their tactical approach to the game, it is plausible to predict a win for West Ham with a one-goal handicap. Furthermore, considering their defensive solidity from last season and Boreham Wood’s recent goalless draw against Watford, a correct score prediction of 2-0 in favour of West Ham appears to be a decent bet.
