Game Preview
Leicester suffered five defeats and a tie over the previous six contests. This team’s defense collapsed midway through October, and since that event, it only managed once to prevent two or more goals conceding.
The Foxes often score goals, though not as many as their backline allows. Overall, only one of Leicester’s latest seven games in all competitions didn’t end with both teams scoring.
West Ham was humbled at home against Arsenal, losing 2-5. Everything was more or less done in the first 45 minutes when all seven goals occurred. To be frank, this hasn’t happened anytime recently.
The Hammers had a cold streak of five matches in a row in which they haven’t won, which was interrupted at St. Mary’s against Newcastle, 0-2. This was only the second triumph away from home for West Ham since the campaign began.
Lineups News & Injuries
Fatawu, Opoku, Pereira, Stolarczyk and Winks are out for this event.
Lucas Paqueta is out, and Todibo stands as questionable.
Leicester vs. West Ham Head-to-Head
Leicester and West Ham played the last time two years ago, and the Foxes won on both occasions, 0-2 in London and 2-1 at home.
Leicester vs. West Ham Prediction
Leicester is with its back against the wall; it doesn’t have much to lose, meaning it will be very aggressive early on. West Ham often accepts a high-paced tempo, which usually results in goals on both ends of the field. That is our betting pick for this game: both teams to score.
