LEG 1: Over 2.5 Goals
The simple fact is that neither team can really defend right now. Leicester don’t seem to have the players for the job, whilst West Ham lack consistency and focus at the back. Leicester have a new manager and Ruud Van Nistelrooy will be looking to make an immediate impact. He was a former striker so we can expect him to try and get The Foxes on the front foot. They are going to need to score goals because only Wolves have conceded more this season (27). West Ham aren’t far behind having shipped in 24 times.
They kept surprise clean sheets vs Newcastle and Everton but this is not a backline which can be trusted. On five different occasions they have conceded three or more times in a game. Over 2.5 goals looks like a good starting block for any bet builder due to the poor defences on show.
Leg 2: Jarrod Bowen To Have 1+ Shots On Target
West Ham are not in the greatest form but one man who they can usually rely on to properly roll up his sleeves when the chips are down is Jarrod Bowen. He is as professional as they come and will be eager to make a difference in attack for the visitors.
The former Hull man has only scored three goals this season but bagged 16 in the previous campaign and should feast on the poor Leicester defence. 11 of his 29 shots have been on target this season and he averages just shy of one shot on target per 90 mins. He would expect to hit the target at least once here so adding this to your Leicester vs West Ham bet builder looks like a decent option.
Leg 3: Facundo Buonanotte To HAve 2+ Shots
Leicester have struggled for offensive consistency this season but with a new manager in charge and facing a potentially dodgy defence this could be a chance to look at some of their players in the final third. Ruud Van Nistelrooy will want a reaction and demand a spark doing forward so a player to watch out for could be Facundo Buonanotte.
The Argentine international averages the most shots out of any Leicester player this season (2 per 90 mins) and should head into the game confident after scoring against Brentford at the weekend. He’s actually scored four times in 11 appearances so just to have two or more shots looks well within his reach here in what should be an offensive type of game.
Leg 4: Jordan Ayew To Be Fouled 2+ Times
Leicester’s Ghanaian attacker Jordan Ayew has a long history of drawing fouls in the Premier League. He was the second most fouled player in the entire division last season when at Crystal Palace and he’s already up there as another foul magnet, even in a poor team like Leicester. Ayew just has a knack of knowing when to win free kicks, to such an extent he’s probably looking for it more often than not.
He has been fouled 1.90 times per 90 mins this season so taking him to be fouled just twice or more looks like a decent bet builder addition. He could be up against Emerson at left back who commits one foul on average per 90 mins.
