Leicester vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 25/05/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Even a win for Leicester City might not save them from relegation. They are 18th in the Premier League and host West Ham who are 14th. Monday saw City park the bus and draw 0-0 at Newcastle. A good result but they are still two points behind 17th placed Everton. Only a win will give them any hope of staying up. They have a better goal difference than Everton and 19th placed Leeds. If City win and Everton don't then Leicester will survive. The Foxes come into this game having won just one of their last 15 league games. They must still be kicking themselves for giving away a recent 2-1 home lead over Everton and only drawing 2-2. City have four points from their last three home league games so there is hope of a win here. It's not an easy match to bet on though. What if Everton take the lead against Bournemouth? How would City react to that?

West Ham have spent most of the season battling relegation. They are safe now though and looking forward to their Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina. Just three days after winning their semi-final they beat Leeds 3-1 at home in the Premier League. A win here and Wolves failing to win at Arsenal will see them finish 13th in the table. The Hammers have struggled on the road in the Premier League. Only three games have been won with 12 lost. Their last three have all been lost with nine goals conceded. Will their minds be on the upcoming European final? A bet on both teams to score looks the safest option here.
