West Ham United vs Leicester City: prediction & betting odds 27 Feb 2025
Betting tips 27 Feb 2025
The final match of Matchweek 27 takes place at London Stadium, featuring teams placed 16th and 19th in the Premier League. West Ham United are not in danger of relegation, but they will be eager to improve their current league standing.
West Ham United remain in 16th place even after their recent victory over Arsenal. Prior to that win, they played four matches without a victory, accumulating only one point and scoring two goals, while Arsenal managed just one. The main issue is the injury crisis among most forwards. The only available options are Jarrod Bowen, who secured three points in the derby, Danny Ings, whose scoring has been limited, and young Evan Ferguson, who is still integrating into the team. This situation raises concerns about their ability to score.
Leicester City have also struggled in front of goal, scoring in only two of their previous seven matches. That proved sufficient for a comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur (2:1) but not enough to prevent Manchester United from advancing in the FA Cup (1:2). Defensively, they have conceded at least two goals in every match, with Everton and Brentford each recording four.
West Ham’s goalscoring record suggests they may struggle to achieve a convincing victory. Leicester’s unpredictable play makes a total goals bet risky. Given their limited attacking options, a comfortable win against Leicester appears unlikely. Therefore, a positive handicap on Leicester is the logical choice.
