West Ham United vs Leeds United Prediction & Best Bets

Best Bets
Dominic Calvert-Lewin anytime goalscorer at 9/4 with Bet365. Calvert-Lewin has scored in each of his last three Premier League outings and is a reliable threat in the penalty area, having recorded shots on target in seven of his last eight appearances.
Under 2.5 goals at 5/4 with Bet365. West Ham have seen over 2.5 goals in their last five meetings with Leeds, but a desperate home side playing on the counter could keep things tighter than that record suggests, and this line looks a solid price given their recent defensive struggles.
West Ham United vs Leeds United Bet Builder
This three-leg bet builder combines Under 2.5 Goals with shots on target from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Valentin Castellanos, paying 5/1 at best price.
Under 2.5 Goals looks well worth backing here. West Ham's last three league defeats suggest they are struggling to create freely, and Leeds have been tight at the back during their unbeaten run.
Calvert-Lewin to record one or more shots on target looks a solid pick. He has managed that in seven of his last eight Premier League appearances.
Castellanos to register one or more shots on target completes the builder. He has hit the target in all of his last six league outings.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 5/1 and is as short as 21/5 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £8 from best to worst price.

West Ham United vs Leeds United Talking Points
The most intriguing tactical question is how West Ham approach this fixture given the balance between attacking urgency and defensive exposure. Leeds arrive as a confident, stubborn outfit who have barely put a foot wrong in eight outings, so the Hammers cannot simply throw bodies forward without consequence. West Ham lead the Premier League for corners per match, meaning set-pieces are likely to be their most dangerous avenue. Whether Calvert-Lewin can punish any gaps left by a side chasing the game is a key subplot, and that individual battle between the Leeds striker and the West Ham backline could ultimately define the result.
