West Ham vs Leicester City Betting Tips

You can’t argue that a 2-0 opening day victory at the Emirates is the perfect way to start a new Premier League season, and that’s exactly what West Ham managed last Sunday.

Even with Andy Carroll and Enner Valencia injured, The Hammers still managed to terrorise a disastrous Arsenal defence and come away with a well earned 3 points.

Dimitri Payet made a good start to life in a West Ham shirt, and even more is expected of the man who created more chances than anyone else in Europe last season.

With Kouyate, Sakho, and Zarate also leading the attack, West Ham are certainly a side that can create a lot of chances.

But Leicester City hardly parked the bus last weekend, coming out 4-2 winners over Sunderland after scoring 3 goals in the first 25 minutes.

Riyad Mahrez looked very sharp, bagging 2 goals against the Mackems, and Jamie Vardy’s industrious, workhorse-like approach always goes down a treat with the fans.

This was pretty much the perfect start to Claudio Ranieri’s life at Leicester, and he will be hoping his side can pick up where they left off when they visit London on Saturday.

West Ham have the advantage in terms of head to heads in recent years, winning 3 of the last 4 meetings between the sides.

We can also expect goals from this match. 4 of the last 5 games between West Ham and Leicester have seen both teams score and over 2 goals scored.

After last weekend’s escapades we expect both teams to be in an attacking mood on Saturday, with morale in both camps sky high and both of them looking to make a good start to their season.

We think that West Ham’s home advantage will see them through on Saturday, but Leicester will give it a good go and odds of 10/3 for a West Ham Win and Both Teams to Score look too good to turn down.
