Leicester V West Ham Predictions & Betting Odds

Leicester v West Ham Betting Tips – Premier League 5th May 3.00pm

Neither side are particularly in great form but of the two of them, West Ham are certainly more desperate for the points. They are only three points away from the relegation zone heading into the weekend and have shipped eight goals in their last two games. Leicester were torn to shreds by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend, can they get some positive momentum back behind them on home soil?

Leicester News and Form

The Foxes are struggling towards the end of the season as they have only managed to pick up a D1 L3 record in their last four games played. It’s a poor finish that they have put together and they haven’t been difficult games in that sequence either. Leicester took a big 5-0 hammering by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend and that is nine goals shipped in their last four games. Both teams to score at William Hill is at 13/20 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 9:15 p.m. on May 1st, 2018). Leicester have produced a W6 D6 L5 home record for the season and they are currently on a five-match winless streak at the King Power (D4 L1). So even though they have not been picking up the wins, they have still been hard to beat. In the William Hill correct score market a Leicester 2-1 option at 9/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 9:15 p.m. on May 1st, 2018) and may well have plenty of appeal going into this one. The defences of both teams look pretty vulnerable really and even though Leicester have produced only two goals in their last four games, they look more of a threat than West Ham.

West Ham News and Form

West Ham’s relegation concerns are going to mount if they lose this one. They start the weekend just three points clear of the drop zone. Their defence has shipped eight goals in their last two league games and has looked a real mess. There has been just one clean sheet in their last eight league games now and in that sequence, they have conceded at least three goals in five of those eight fixtures. Leicester should get chances in this. Following this West Ham have a tough game against Manchester United so they really need something out of this. West Ham have taken one win in their last eight games (D2 L5) so the form is not there. They have produced just a D1 L4 record in their last five away games and have only tallied the two away successes all season too. At the back, the Irons have conceded at over two goals per game on their travels. Over 2.5 goals at William Hill is going to be worth a look as 72% of West Ham’s away games have gone over 2.5 goals while 56% have gone over 3.5 goals. Can their defence hang in there to get something out of this game?

Leicester v West Ham Head to Head

West Ham and Leicester played out a 1-1 draw in the capital earlier this season and that result extended Leicester unbeaten form against the Hammers to seven matches (W5 D2). So the Foxes hold the advantage in the current head to head for sure. Each of their last three wins at home in all competitions against West Ham have been produced by a one-goal margin. Five of the last seven meetings have gone over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in all but one of the last seven clashes as well.
