West Ham United vs. Leicester City 11/12/22 EPL Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

West Ham United and Leicester City face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at London Stadium. When these two teams faced off on February 13th it was Leicester City that secured the 2-2 victory. 

Leicester City comes into this game sitting in 14th place in the group having picked up 14 points. After such a terrible start to the season, Leicester City has played a lot better in the last game. Last Saturday, against Everton, Leicester City scored two goals and secured the victory. Harvey Barnes scored in the 86th minute. Leicester City had 52 percent of the possession and had eight shots on target. In a midweek game against Newport County, Leicester City had a 3-0 victory. Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen, Said Benrahma, Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek, and Gianlucca Scamacca are all expected to move into the starting lineup in this game. 

West Ham United currently sits in 15th place in the group having picked up 14 points. Last Sunday, West Ham faced off against Crystal Palace, and they were defeated 2-1. West Ham United had 42 percent of the possession and two shots on target. Said Benrahma scored in the 20th minute, but it wasn’t enough. In a midweek game, West Ham faced off against Blackburn Rovers, and they lost in a penalty shootout. Maxwel Cornet is still dealing with an injury and won’t be able to go in this game. Thilo Kehrer, Craig Dawson, Kurt Zouma, and Aaron Cresswell are all expected to be moved into the starting lineup in this game. 

When these two teams faced off, it’s been high scoring. Each of the last seven times West Ham and Leicester City have had at least three goals scored, and it’s going to be no different in this game. I expect there will be four or five goals scored here, and the over 3.5 goals is going to cash here.
