Leicester vs West Ham Preview – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 03/12/2024
Leicester vs West Ham Premier League Prediction Match Details
Premier League action continues this midweek as Leicester City welcomes West Ham to King Power Stadium on Tuesday for the matchday 14 game. Will Ruud spark the Foxes back to form against struggling Hammers?
Tottenham Preview & Form
Leicester City will be handling former Premier League striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy a chance in the Foxes dugout on Tuesday, with the Dutch tactician watching his side being thrashed 4-1 by Brentford under the caretaker of Ben Dawson last weekend. Ruud van Nistelrooy will be desperate for a quick response from his new side, as he hopes to lift the team spirit. The Foxes have now gone winless in their last six games across all competitions, recording five defeats and a draw. Ruud will have to work on the team defense to lift the Foxes out of the relegation zone, as his team conceded 27 goals in their opening 13 league games before his arrival. Leicester City is positioned 16th in the Premier League standings, just above the relegation zone, with a point above 18th-placed Ipswich Town.
The Foxes have only won one home game this season in the league, a narrow 1-0 win over Bournemouth. Since then, they have suffered back-to-back defeats at home against Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham United have struggled in the new campaign despite some huge money signings in the summer and the appointment of Julen Lopetegui. The Hammers failed to build on their creditable 2-0 victory over Newcastle United after the international break before their nightmarish, disastrous encounter against Arsenal at the London Stadium last weekend, which ended in a humiliating 5-2. Under pressure, Julen Lopetegui will be hoping to see his side improve defensively, as his team has conceded 24 goals in 13 league games this season. The Hammers are sitting 14th in the league standings with 15 points accumulated and have scored 17 goals.
The Hammers have been in a mixed run of form in their away league games this season, having only won two of their opening six away games. During the run, they suffered three losses and played two draws. West Ham has been consistent in finding the back of the net this season, having scored at least one goal in five of their last six away games.
