West Ham vs. Leicester: preview and betting tips

West Ham, along with Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek, will face Leicester on Monday. Both teams managed their opening encounters, who will be better off after their second appearance?

West Ham have entered the league season victorious. Although they were twice down at Newcastle United, they turned the game around with three goals in the second half to win 4-2.

Leicester have also made a winning start. The fate of Wolverhampton, who would like to attack the European cups this year, has given them the unpleasant Wolves. The game was decided by a single goal in the first half and the points stayed with Leicester after a 1: 0 scoreline.

Perhaps the Hammers’ best player in the opening game was Said Benrahma, who scored one goal and assisted once. Tomas Soucek, the author of the decisive goal at 3: 2, also gave a nice performance.

Leicester’s only goal in the first leg was scored by Jamie Vardy, the two-time Golden Boot winner for most goals in a single Premier League season. The Czech national team must also watch out for Youri Tielemans.

West Ham rely on a goal-scoring attack, scoring two or more goals in four of their last five games. But this time they face a big challenge as Leicester have kept a clean sheet in five of their last eight games.

With West Ham playing their first game in front of a full home stadium in a year and a half, I expect an active start. That’s why I believe he will kick the first corner.
