West Ham United vs Leicester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips and odds

The Foxes have emerged victorious in each of their last three league games against the Hammers.

West Ham United are all set to host Leicester City in Marcday 27 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The Hammers are at the 16th spot in the points table. They have been able to win eight of their 26 league matches. The Foxes are in the relegation zone having won only four games in the same number of matches.

The Hammers will be confident at home as they secured a big win over Arsenal in their last league fixture. The Gunners are in the second spot on the table and have been consistent over the years and West Ham winning an EPL match over them speaks highly of them. The hosts will look to continue their winning run but their league contest against Leicester City is not going to be an easy affair.

The Foxes will be very underconfident as they were dominated by Brentford in their last Premier League game. Leicester City have shown lacklustre performances this season which have kept them in the relegation zone till now. The Foxes have to get on to the winning ways if they do not want to get relegated.

He has not been very consistent but has been able to score three goals in the last five Premier League games for West Ham.
