Leicester City vs West Ham United Prediction and Betting Tips – 22nd Jan 2020
As Leicester City take on West Ham United in the Premier League, the game promises to be an intriguing contest as the two sides look to return to winning ways after a series of underwhelming results.
Leicester City v West Ham United Preview
Leicester City host West Ham United at the King Power Stadium as they aim to return to winning ways in the Premier League. The Foxes were tipped to challenge Liverpool in the summit but a torrid run of form with 4 losses in 6 games has seen them slip to 3rd in the league standings. West Ham, on the other hand, are still in the thick of the relegation battle and find themselves just one point above Aston Villa in the drop zone.
David Moyes, since returning for his second stint as Hammers boss, has registered just one league victory since taking charge last month and the London club will look to capitalize on Leicester's poor run of form to move away from the relegation zone.

Leicester City v West Ham United Prediction
Leicester City are in a torrid run of form but Brendan Rodgers will be eager to overcome their recent slump to consolidate their position in the Premier League top four. David Moyes' side have not been particularly convincing in recent weeks and have struggled to score goals in their travels this season. Only Norwich City (5) have scored fewer away goals in the Premier League this season than West Ham (9) and the Hammers need to be at their best in front of goal to get a positive result.
Leicester City v West Ham United Betting Tips
Leicester City's home form coupled with the fact that David Moyes could take more time to imprint his philosophy at the club favours the Foxes, as they are expected to return to winning ways in the Premier League. Jamie Vardy has been one of the most in-form players in the league this season and the Leicester frontman is expected to be in the thick of the action once again, as he aims to build on his tally of 17 league goals.
Tip 1 - Result: Leicester City
Tip 2 - Both teams to score: No
Tip 3 - Over/Under 2.5 goals: Under 2.5
