West Ham v Leicester Betting Tips [27 February 2025]

West Ham United will wrap up their February activities with a home match against Leicester City in the Premier League. The two sides are placed in the lower reaches of the standings, but West Ham are two places above the bottom three while Leicester are second from bottom. Read on for our prediction of this match.

West Ham opened up a 13-point buffer from the relegation zone with a well-deserved win against Arsenal. With 30 points in the bag, they are getting ever closer to survival. The last time they won two consecutive matches was in August and they will be eyeing a repeat.

City had no reprieve to their tough return and are moving even closer to relegation again. A 4-0 home loss to Brentford left the Foxes on 17 points, five below the safety line.

They’ve only managed four wins – half the tally of West Ham United wins, which brings them into this match as underdogs. The loss to Brentford was their fourth straight, and in the last 11 league matches, they managed just one win.

All the remaining 10 ended in defeat. Failure to score in the last three Premier League matches doesn’t set up Leicester City nicely. It is worse on the road, Leicester failing to win, or score in six straight games.

West Ham United are playing at home and will want to make it count, having come from a crucial win over Arsenal. They are doing much better than Leicester City, and playing at home will boost them as well. Leicester City aren’t just on a poor run in the season, they are also among the lowest scoring teams.

They have failed to win any of their last six matches away from home. Our prediction for West Ham United v Leicester City is for West Ham United win.
