Across 15 league games so far, they average 0.9 goals scored and 2.0 conceded. Away games have been hard going for the visitors: no wins in seven, with one draw and six defeats.

This season West Ham United have six wins, five draws and four defeats from 15 league matches, a goal difference of +14. They have scored in each of their last 15 league games. Expect goals where the hosts are involved: 12 of their 15 league games have had three or more.

A 1–1 draw is the AI's most likely score, and it expects both teams to score. Both sides have scored in 11 of West Ham United's 15 league games and nine of Preston North End's 15. Exact scores are hard to call, so treat it as the likely shape of the game rather than a certainty.
