West Ham United Leicester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Looking at the squads of both teams it can be seen that the Leicester team has an advantage compared to West Ham United, however, they should face some difficulties. The visiting club is usually an offensive team, especially in the first half, and in this first meeting they aim to achieve a good result. The home team presented a negative performance in the defensive sector, however, has players of enormous individual quality. Thus, we believe in a very open match and with several chances of goals, making the "Over 2,5 Goals" market the most suitable for this game.

Analysis West Ham

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Southampton, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Crystal Palace, by (2‑1). In the last 8 home league matches West Ham United has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 8 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 18 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

West Ham United comes unmotivated for this match after losing by 2-1 at Crystal Palace, making it their third defeat in the last four matches: Robert Snodgrass scored the only goal of the team. Now in this game against the foxes, coach Manuel Pellegrini is expected to favor a low block, defend organized and get into attack through quick transitions: Felipe Anderson and Robert Snodgrass should make up the team's wings. It should be noted that striker Haller is one of the great finishers of this West Ham: he has 5 goals. For this match the coach cannot count on Cresswell, punished, as well as Wilshere, this injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Łukasz Fabiański, Fabián Balbuena, Issa Diop, Arthur Masuaku, Ryan Fredericks, Carlos Sánchez, Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals, Declan Rice, Sébastien Haller.
Coach: D. Moyes.

Analysis Leicester

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 39 points won, after 12 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Manchester City, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Liverpool, by (0‑4). In the last 9 away league matches Leicester City has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 27 possible. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times but have turned the score around in 3.

Leicester heads into this match after a heavy defeat, by 0-4, against Liverpool, adding the third consecutive meeting without a win in this English league. Despite playing away from home, coach Brendan Rodgers should benefit from ball movement and organized attacks, especially through the right aisle. Dimarai Gray and James Maddison are the highlights of the team, both very competent in carrying the ball to the attack. On the other hand, Jamie Vardy is the great scorer of this competition with 17 goals scored. However, the coach's only headache for this match is the absence of Matty James due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan, Jonny Evans, Christian Fuchs, Demarai Gray, Nampalys Mendy, James Justin, Hamza Choudhury, Marc Albrighton, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ayoze Pérez.
Coach: B. Rodgers.
