Leicester - West Ham Prediction, Picks and Tips
Leicester City is currently in a dip. On Wednesday-evening, The Foxes get a visit from West Ham United in its own King Power Stadium and after three consecutive games without a win, Brendan Rodgers' team hopes to step out of the field again.
The results of Leicester City have been disappointing in the last two weeks. The Foxes are of course working on a great season; It is not without reason that Leicester is third in the Premier League and in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. Nevertheless, The Foxes did not win their last three games and that can be called striking. In the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, Leicester City played a draw 1-1 against Aston Villa two weeks ago. Last weekend The Foxes in the Premier League lost 1-2 against Southampton in their own stadium and last weekend Leicester City lost 2-1 to Burnley. On Turf Moor against Burnley, Leicester City was still ahead by a goal from Ashley Barnes. In the 56th minute, however, Kasper Schmeichel had to take the tying run, after which Jamie Vardy failed to make it 1-2 minutes from eleven meters. Burnley still scored in the final phase of the game and with that Leicester City remained without points for the second game in a row. The Rodgers team is still in a handsome third place in the Premier League and it must be going really bad if Leicester City is to give away the lead on the pursuers. One thing is certain: given the current position in the rankings, Leicester City must be able to qualify for next year's Champions League.
West Ham United does not even have much worse material on paper than Leicester City. Yet the East Londoners in the Premier League are in the left row. In fact, if they don't watch out at West Ham United, The Hammers can also relegate. It must all go really well, because this West Ham United has a better selection than clubs such as Watford, Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa. Even so, David Moyes is still unable to grab many points with the Londoners. Moyes won convincingly in his first game with West Ham United 4-0 against AFC Bournemouth. Since then it has only gone downhill with The Hammers. West Ham United still won in the FA Cup 0-2 against Gillingham. In the Premier League, on the other hand, West Ham United fell 1-0 at Sheffield United just two weeks ago and last weekend The Hammers had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Everton. Grabbing a point at Goodison Park is not a bad result for West Ham United, but the fact is that The Hammers doesn't get along well with that point. At West Ham United, by the way, they don't have any best memories of the last eleven games against Leicester City, because West Ham United won only one of those eleven games.
