West Ham United Betting Preview

West Ham United sits in 15th place in the standings having picked up 37 points. On Thursday West Ham United faced off against AZ Alkmaar and they were able to secure the 1-0 victory. West Ham only had 30 percent of the possession and two shots on target, but it was a goal by Pablo Fornals that scored in the 94th minute that was the difference. Gianluca Scamacca was mostly a disappointment a season and now he’s going to miss the last couple of games because of a knee surgery. Manuel Lanzini, Danny Ings, Vladimir Coufal and Emerson Palmieri all have fresh legs and they all could end up moving into the starting lineup here. 

Leeds United Betting Preview

Leeds United sits in 18th place in the standings having picked up 31 points. Last Saturday against Newcastle United they were able to secure the 2-2 victory. Luke Alying scored a goal in the 7th minute and but they ended up falling behind 2-1. Rasmus Kristensen tied up the game in the 79th minute. Junior Firpo did pick up a red card in the 91st minute. Tyler Adams, Stuart Dallas, and Luis Sinisterra are all dealing with injuries and they aren’t going to be able to go in this game. In this game Leeds United is going to need to the defense to be good, or this is going to be a very long game. 

Shane’s Free Pick

These are both teams that have decent offenses, but their defense has also been an issues and it’s going to be the defense that is a big issue in this game. Look for West Ham United to score a couple of goals, but Leeds United is also going to find the back of the net a couple of times too. Back the over 3.5 goals to cash here with ease. This is my favorite play of the weekend.
