West Ham vs Leicester Predictions

West Ham United have been picking up points in the English Premier League of late, but they struggle to win on a consistent basis. Leicester City are a tough side to get the better of and have drawn plenty of away matches this campaign. A lot is at stake for both sides in the race for the top four, so I'm tipping a draw with BTTS.

West Ham are winless in 3 of their last 5 matches (Premier League)
West Ham have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 matches (Premier League)
West Ham have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches against Leicester (Premier League)
Leicester are winless in 3 of their last 5 matches (Premier League)
Leicester have drawn 4 of their last 7 away matches (all competitions)
Leicester have seen BTTS in their last 3 away matches (Premier League)

Head-to-Head

West Ham have a 53-49 advantage over Leicester in 135 meetings.

West Ham beat Leicester 3-0 in the reverse fixture with Michail Antonio, Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen all scoring.

West Ham Form

West Ham beat Wolves 3-2 on Monday to end a run of two matches without a win in the Premier League.

The Hammers raced to a 3-0 lead before half time. Jesse Lingard, Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen all scored within 40 minutes.

The result saw West Ham overtake Chelsea in fourth place as the East London side continue their battle for Champions League football next season.

David Moyes’ side are in good form at the London Stadium and have won six of their last eight home matches in all competitions.

But they squandered a 3-0 lead against Arsenal in their last home match before the international break and drew 3-3.

West Ham Injuries & Team News

Michail Antonio was taken off during the Wolves match with a hamstring injury and he is doubtful.

Midfielder Declan Rice and defender Angelo Ogbonna also remain out through injury.

Goalkeeper Darren Randolph and forward Andriy Yarmolenko are out long-term.

Leicester Form

Leicester’s three-match winning streak in all competitions was ended by a 2-0 home defeat to man City on Saturday.

The Foxes’ struggled in the match and registered just five shots on goal and 43% possession.

Leicester had previously beaten Man United 3-1 to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup and they defeated Sheffield United 5-0 recently to remain in third place in the Premier League.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are undefeated in their last 13 away in all competitions but have drawn two of their last four away Premier League matches away to Burnley and Wolves.

Leicester Injuries & Team News

Cengiz Under and Caglar Soyuncu could be back in contention this weekend.

Defenders Wes Morgan and Justin James are ruled out through injury.
