Leicester and West Ham United match forecast. Leicester – West Ham. Forecast for the match from the Freesupertips expert: victory for Puel’s team. Leicester – West Ham: current form of leaders

The Foxes are in 11th place in the Premier League table with 12 points. Goal difference 15-15, top scorer Jamie Vardy with 3 goals.

In September, Leicester lost to Liverpool at home (1:2), lost away to Bournemouth (2:4) and defeated Huddersfield at home (3:1) in the Premier League.

Then, in the away League Cup match, the Foxes beat Wolverhampton on penalties - 0:0 (3:1). The successful streak was extended by an away victory over Newcastle (2:0) in the Premier League.

In their last matches, Leicester lost to Everton at home with a score of 1:2, and lost away to Arsenal with a score of 1:3.

The suspended Wes Morgan and the injured Demarai Gray will not play in the match.

West Ham

The Hammers, who started the season with a series of 4 defeats in the Premier League in a row, managed to pull themselves together in September.

West Ham beat Everton away (2:1), won at home against Chelsea (0:0), and beat Manchester United away (3:1).

But the last matches were not very successful. Pellegrini's team lost away to Brighton and at home to Tottenham. Both matches ended with a score of 0:1.

As a result, the team is in 14th place in the table with 7 points and a goal difference of 8-14. Marko Arnautovic scored 4 goals.

In the upcoming match, the team will not be helped by the injured Andrei Yarmolenko, Winston Reed, Angelo Ogbonna and Manuel Lanzini.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider Leicester to be the favorites in the match. The odds for a home win are 2.05, while for a draw - 3.40, and for West Ham's success - 3.65.

During the successful September period, the Hammers had only one away match, and Leicester traditionally performs more successfully at home, so we can predict a victory for the Foxes at home.

Both teams cannot be called too scoring in recent matches, so you can bet on the bottom. Interesting options are TM 2.5 for 1.85 and “Both will score - no” for 1.90.

Final forecast

The guests are three points from the relegation zone three rounds before the end of the championship. In today's game, they will need points more, and accordingly, the motivation for the game will be higher. But let’s try to play against our own logic and stop Leicester from giving out points.

Odds for the forecast of the best bookmakers

The last match of the tenth round of the English Premier League on Saturday will be the match between Leicester City and West Ham United. Both the home team and the guests will try to break their streak of two defeats in a row, so we can expect a hot performance from them, after meeting with London teams in the previous round.

Before the tenth round, Leicester is in eleventh place in the Premier League with twelve points, while West Ham is five points behind it, but is in fourteenth place. Since the teams will play last today, their positions will have already changed significantly by the start of the game, so we will not share forecasts about their final position.

But we have a forecast regarding the result of their face-to-face meeting, in which we will try to understand what to bet on.

After a home defeat to Everton, which happened before the two-week international break, the away game against Arsenal Claude Puel changed Leicester's formation: instead of 4-2-3-1, the Foxes started using 3-4-1-2, in which Johnny Evans replaced the disqualified Wes Morgan.

As Arsenal pushed their full-backs high at the start of the match, both Leicester forwards Jamie Vardy And Kelechi Iheanacho moved away from the central defenders and moved closer to the edges, creating an opportunity for their team to quickly transition from defense to attack. This positioning of the forwards facilitated these transitions, as the players were already in advantageous positions to attack the London team's central defenders.

After the visitors regained the ball, their full-backs Ben Chilwell And Ricardo Pereira moved forward and created options for a wide attack. The positioning of Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho continued to plague the capital's defenders as the blue strikers stuck to the zones between the center and full-backs, preventing the latter from attacking their opponents down the flank.

For this reason, both Arsenal wide midfielders were forced to drop to counter the Leicester full-backs. Subsequently James Maddison no longer burdened the center-defs, but played between the Gunners’ defense and midfield lines behind them Lucas Torreira And Granita Xhaki, linking the Foxes' midfield and attack, allowing the visitors to quickly move the ball from end to end.

The home team quickly increased the tempo of the game and the percentage of ball possession, but it was at this time that the guests took the lead. After the missed goal, the players Unai Emery began to change positions and continued to do so in the second half. Claude Puel's team was often forced to defend with the whole team in their own half of the field, which seriously affected the quality and quantity of counter-attacks.

Even when the Foxes controlled the ball and stabilized the game with safe passes in the back line, the midfielders preferred to play long balls towards James Maddison, although exploiting the vulnerable flanks seemed the best decision the Blues could make in that situation.

Despite the exit Mark Albrighton and a change to 3-5-2, two quick goals from Arsenal ruined Leicester's entire game. After this, Claude Puel changed the formation again, now to 4-4-2, in order to reduce the space between the lines and maintain at least the score that was obtained. Actually, then the match can be considered over for the guests.

West Ham United

In the ninth round match against Tottenham, the team Manuel Pellegrini continued to play 4-1-4-1 with Declan Rice between the defensive and midfield lines, consisting of Andrey Yarmolenko, Mark Noble, Robert Snodgrass And Felipe Anderson and located behind Marko Arnautovic.

The center of the field turned out to be very congested due to the fact that both teams had many players there when playing without the ball. For the Hammers, this meant they found it difficult to play out wide, forcing them to try to exploit the space behind Spurs' centre-back and full-backs.

To achieve this, Marko Arnautovic ran between Toby Alderweireld And Ben Davis, or Robert Snodgrass did this later, hanging around a little lower between Kieran Trippier And Davinson Sanchez. They started doing this when the ball hit, usually the full-back or sometimes the outside midfielder. Thus, the home team created several chances at the goal Hugo Lloris, but usually West Ham's attacks involved breaking through the defense on the edge and delivering deliveries into the penalty area.

When playing without the ball, Manuel Pellegrini's team maintained a 4-1-4-1 formation and tried to guard the center of the field with all their might, keeping it as compact as possible. Declan Rice was tasked with tracking opponents between the lines, while the remaining midfield quartet either formed a tight, flat line or were positioned in a trapezoidal formation, with Mark Noble and Robert Snodgrass moving slightly forward and Andriy Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson playing slightly deeper.

Thanks to this formation, West Ham did not allow Tottenham, who played through their full-backs, to exclude the home side's wide midfielders from the game. The Hammers' full-backs took over the Spurs' full-backs, but Yarmolenko and Anderson were close enough to help their central team-mates, as they mostly played deep in the half-spaces.

Odds and forecast

According to quotes from bookmakers, it is not surprising that the home team is considered the favorites in this confrontation. The odds offered are as you see them:

2.1–2.3: Leicester City win;
3.3–3.4: draw;
3.3–3.6: West Ham United win.

Claude Puel's men are favorites, if only because they play at home and can attract many more players to the game than Manuel Pellegrini.

The Chilean coach will not be able to count on several important players at once, including, in addition to Jack Wilshere(yes really!) and Pedro Obianga, turned out to be Carlos Sanchez and Andrei Yarmolenko - the last two will not be able to take the field until the spring.

Because without Wes Morgan and Demarai Gray The “foxes” also played against “Arsenal”, it will not be unusual for them, although the latter’s participation in the game is in question, so it is likely that today he will be able to help his team get three points.

Leicester continues to score and concede in Premier League matches: the meeting with Unai Emery's team was the seventh of nine in which both teams scored. West Ham suits him: he has conceded in all nine Premier League games this season, but has scored in only four. As you understand, it’s hard to believe in the Hammers’ success.

Forecast 1X and TB(1.5) 1.75 ()

On October 27, 2018 at 19:30 Moscow time, the match of the 10th round of the English Premier League will take place at the King Power Stadium, in which Leicester City will host West Ham United.

Leicester

After 9 rounds of the English Premier League, Leicester is in 11th place in the standings with 12 points. This season, the Foxes have won 4 matches and lost 5 times. Claude Puel's team scored and conceded the same number of goals - 15 each.

In the last home game, Leicester hosted Everton: the hosts could not withstand the initial onslaught of the opponent and already from the 7th minute were in the status of a winning side. At the end of the first half, Ricardo Pereira equalized the score, but in the second half the team was let down by Wes Morgan, who left Leicester in the minority. The hosts failed to avoid defeat – 1:2.

In the previous round, Leicester faced Arsenal away and lost again (1:3). The Gunners conceded first, but looked stronger for most of the match. While each of Arsenal's outfield players scored at least once, the leader of Leicester's attacks, Jamie Vardy, did not make a single shot at the opponent's goal.

West Ham

The Hammers had a terrible start to the current season, losing in four opening rounds. Later, the Londoners managed to pull themselves together and leave the relegation zone thanks to victories over Everton and Manchester United and a draw with Chelsea. At the moment, West Ham are in 14th place in the table with 7 points and will not meet the top clubs until December.

In the previous away match, the Hammers faced Brighton: the Londoners almost doubled their opponent in terms of ball possession and number of shots taken (17:9), but unlike their opponent, they failed to score (0:1).

In the last round, West Ham met Tottenham in a derby and lost for the second time in a row with a minimal score, despite a greater number of shots (13:10), shots from the penalty area (8:7) and shots on target (4:2 ).

Leicester – West Ham: current form of leaders

Leicester's most productive players this season are Jamie Vardy and James Maddison, with 3 goals each. At the moment, the leaders are not in the best shape and have scored only once between them in the last 3 games.

For the Londoners, the greatest danger comes from Marko Arnautovic - the Austrian scored 4 goals in 8 matches of the season. In his last five matches, Marco scored 3 goals and made one assist.

Leicester – West Ham: head-to-head statistics

Last season in London the teams drew (1:1), and at the King Power the guests achieved a clean victory with a score of 2:0 (the goals were scored by team veteran Noble and Joao Mario, who left for Inter).

Leicester – West Ham: facts about the match

• 6 of Leicester's last 7 matches were played on Oversight (2.5);
• The Foxes scored in all home matches of the season and managed not to concede only once;
• West Ham managed to keep their goal locked in only one game of the 2018/19 Premier League.

Leicester – West Ham: personnel problems

In addition to the suspended Wes Morgan, Leicester will definitely not be helped by the injured Matty James, and the participation of Demarai Gray is questionable.

The Hammers have a full hospital, and last week they added Andrei Yarmolenko to Carroll, Wilshere, Reed, Sanchez and Obiang.

Bookmaker quotes
