West Ham v Leicester: Predictions, tips and free bet builder as Bowen stars in Hammers win
West Ham United will hope to make it back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in nearly a year when they welcome Leicester City on Thursday (2000 GMT)
Even with Arsenal’s extensive injury list, West Ham’s 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง was something that few people saw coming.
Leicester’s 4-0 collapse against Brentford was far more predictable and perhaps sets up a scenario where we can expect a response from the Foxes.
Leicester are five points and a considerable goal difference behind 17th-place Wolves, and they go to the London Stadium on the back of a 4-0 thrashing at home to Brentford.
Funnily enough, the Bees also put four past City back in November, before Ruud van Nistelrooy claimed his first win when beating the Hammers 3-1.
It does set up a similar situation where the visitors are likely to give an improve performance, and naturally, the hosts could let themselves down on the back of such an upset.
On the other hand, Leicester are dire. They’ve lost 10 of their last 11, scored four goals and concede 28.
This could be a rare opportunity for West Ham to win back-to-back games in the Premier League for the first time since April 3, and we think they’ll seize the opportunity.
Except for a wild 3-2 win over Fulham, we’ve seen a much more stable version of the Hammers under Graham Potter, with just nine goals scored in their previous five matches, all of which were competitive.
Having lost 13 games by two or more goals this season, Leicester have the opposite problem. West Ham can exploit that, but they may be more at threat of conceding than in recent games if they do push forward more.
