West Ham vs Leicester Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder for West Ham vs Leicester features West Ham to Win, Bowen to Score and Okoli Over 0.5 Fouls. At the time of publishing it is a best price of 9/2 with bet365.
- Leicester are a mess at the moment and seem to be playing with no structure or belief.
- Since Ruud Van Nistelrooy took charge Leicester have lost 10 of their 15 games in the League and won just three.
- West Ham will be riding the high of beating Arsenal and will be playing with confidence
- Leicester have scored just once in their last four games.
- Bowen is finding some form late in the season and has three goals in his last five games, he had an xG of 0.5 in the reverse fixture and despite hitting the target three times, he didn't manage to find the net.
- Leicester are the league's second worst defence and have conceded an average of three goals a game in their last four. An in-form Bowen should get plenty of chances.
- Okoli has been defensively very weak recently and has lacked composure at times.
- He averages 1.3 fouls per 90 and his foul count reads 2,3,1,1,1 (not including two brief substitute appearances).
