Leicester City v West Ham United Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Tuesday 3rd December 2024
Both Leicester City and West Ham United will be looking to bounce back from weekend disappointment when they do battle at the King Power this evening.
Plenty to ponder
Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of Leicester City for the first time at the King Power Stadium this evening after being appointed as permanent successor to Steve Cooper with a three-year contract. After watching the Foxes fumble their one-goal advantage to lose 4-1 at Brentford, the new boss will have plenty to ponder ahead of this midweek outing. This disappointing result at the Tech Community Stadium represented the East Midlands side’s third straight defeat and the Foxes head into tonight’s clash on the back of a six-game winless run across competitions. Indeed, Leicester have leaked three goals or more in all-but-two of their last six games across competitions although on the flip side they have found the net in each of their seven outings at the King Power Stadium.
Inspiration
Seven goals were scored in the first half to West Ham’s home clash with Arsenal last weekend, the Hammers managing just two of these. The scoreline remained at 5-2 until the final whistle and Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui once again finds himself under pressure. Indeed, when West Ham are beaten, they tend to be absolutely thrashed with each of their last five losses being by three goals or more, however inspiration will be taken by the side’s 2-0 win at Newcastle United last week.
New manager bounce
Leicester City may be boosted by the new manager bounce in this match, however their defensive frailties won’t be fixed so quickly and we envisage the Hammers finding a way through without too much difficulty. Nevertheless, Lopetegui’s side are certainly not watertight at the back and as such, we envisage both sides finding the net in what has the makings of a stalemate.
Back a draw and both teams to score at best odds of 7/2
