West Ham to win

Leicester’s home record (5W 2D 4L) is very similar to West Ham’s away record (6W 2D 4L). West Ham’s home record is equal to their away record meaning they don’t favour home matches like most sides do.

West Ham are simply on better form currently which is why we back them for the win.

Over 2.5 goals in the match

Leicester matches average the most goals per game in the league at 3.48, with over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of their games.

West Ham matches average 3.04 goals per game with over 2.5 goals occurring in 58% of their matches. Both sides are not the best defensively and both have potent attacks, expect goals.

Three-way Handicap – Tie (Leicester +1) – 4.2

Four out of West Ham’s last six wins have come by a single goal, including Tuesday night’s win over Watford. Leicester is capable of putting the ball in the back of the net so may not let the Hammers run away with this one.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Leicester City vs West Ham United

Leicester have been off the pace this season currently sitting in 12th place and well adrift of European contention.

They have achieved only one win in their last five matches. That came against Liverpool after Christmas. However, Liverpool avenged that defeat with a dominant 2-0 win on Thursday night.

Despite the inconsistency this season, Leicester is a side you can’t write off and are capable of beating any side in the league.

Jamie Vardy has been injured for the past month, but replacement Patson Daka has scored two goals in his past three matches. He is priced at 2.2 to score anytime.

West Ham moved back into fourth place after a midweek home win over Watford. The Hammers are back on their travels though where they are equally capable of taking all three points.

Jarrod Bowen was the star man in midweek as he scored the winner – and his fourth goal in his last four league matches.

Bowen can be backed at 3.25 to score anytime or if you fancy him to score first like he did on Tuesday night, that is a higher price of 8.0.

Safe Bets

Both teams have scored in 67% of Leicester’s matches and 62% of West Ham’s. This looks sure to happen in this match, just like it has in four of the last five league matches contested between these sides and can be backed at 1.63.

Get Rich Quick

Bets like over 2.5 goals and both teams to score both look certain and the odds given for both bets reflect this.

If you are feeling braver, then betting the over 3.5 goals market instead will yield a higher return if it comes in at odds of 2.63. This has happened in three of the last four league matches between these teams.

Leicester City vs West Ham United Team News

Leicester boss, Brendan Rodgers, rang the changes on Thursday night, dropping Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho. It remains to be seen if any of these return on Sunday. Nampalys Mendy may play this weekend following African Cup of Nations duty,

Hammers boss, David Moyes, has confirmed that Kurt Zouma will continue in the team until he is told otherwise. Lukasz Fabianski marked his return to the team on Tuesday after two games out by keeping a clean sheet.

Possible Starting Lineups

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Pereira, Amartey, Ndidi, Thomas, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Albrighton, Maddison, Lookman, Daka

West Ham United: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Lanzini, Benrahma, Antonio

Highlighted Player – Jarrod Bowen

Bowen did his hopes of a future call up to the England squad no harm as he continued his brilliant run of form with the only goal in Tuesday’s win over Watford.

He has now scored seven goals this season – one away from his total output for last year – with a third of the season to go. Bowen will be integral to West Ham’s Champions League qualification hopes.
