Leicester vs West Ham Predictions

 

What an incredible season Leicester City have had, they’ve had their doubters throughout the season, myself included, yet they continue to defy expectations and churn out the wins. The impressive thing about their season is before Christmas they were free scoring, and very loose at the back, winning by 3-2 score-lines etc. Since Christmas, Claudio Ranieri has probably realised that at some point teams would change the way they play against Leicester, so he changed his tactics. He made his team defensively solid, and hits teams on the break. They’ve kept five clean sheets in a row in matches many thought could prove difficult as the realisation of a Premier League title dawns on the side. Not only that, they’ve won all five games, each one 1-0 until the last match against Sunderland when Jamie Vardy broke from the halfway line to make it 2-0 in the dying minutes.

 

West Ham United are also having a fantastic season, and had it not been for the season Leicester have had, everybody would be waxing lyrical about the Hammers. Things are looking up for West Ham United and their fans, Slaven Bilic seems an excellent coup, the signing of Dimitri Payet and then his contract extension has given a clear message to any potential suitors, and also the fact that next season they’re moving into the Olympic Stadium, something I believe will propel them into the top four on a regular basis. They will however be reeling from the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United in midweek. They simply didn’t turn up until they were already 2-0 down, which surprised me as I thought they would have capitalised on Manchester United’s frailties.

 

My first Leicester vs West Ham betting tip for Sunday’s football is a draw. This isn’t me sitting on the fence and not making a decision, I do feel that these teams are very evenly matched. Leicester at home have been fantastic, but I do think it’s time for them to drop points, and West Ham may have the answer. West Ham are likely to sit deep and hit Leicester on the break, giving them a taste of their own medicine. West Ham also have Andy Carroll in form and willing to make a nuisance of himself against Wes Morgan and Robert Huth. Before the FA Cup replay, West Ham had actually drawn their last four games in League and Cup. I expect a 1-1 score so Bet365 offering 13/5 for the draw gives great value.

My second Leicester vs West Ham prediction for this match is going to be James Tomkins to be shown a card. It would be hard for most centre halves to keep up with a sprinting Jamie Vardy, however I think Leicester will target Tomkins and his willingness to go to ground early when making tackles. He wouldn’t hesitate to tackle before Vardy could get away on one of his textbook 40 yard sprints, and this is why I believe he could be shown a card here, he has also shown on numerous occasions he has a bit of a fiery temperament, and a culmination of bad form and a recent FA Cup knockout, he might try and vent on an opposition player. He’s 7/2 to be shown a card with Bet Victor.

My final betting tip for Leicester v West Ham United is going to be Riyad Mahrez to score first. He has maybe gone a little bit off the boil in recent weeks, due to Leicester sitting slightly deeper. But with the PFA player of the year award nomination and one of the frontrunners to win the award, it would be fitting if he were to pop up with another one of his excellent left footed strikes cutting in from the right wing, I also think that 6/1 from Ladbrokes is a great price.
