West Ham United VS Leicester City        Livescore / H2H

----------------------------------------------
Team Analysis
In the span of 38 head-to-head matches, West Ham holds the advantage with 42% wins. However, this season they lost to Leicester away (1-3). At that time, the “Foxes” were just taken over by Ruud van Nistelrooy. His team executed several effective counterattacks but looked significantly weaker overall. In the second half, not only the hosts managed to score, but also the “Hammers”, which has been noted in 5 out of the last 6 head-to-head matches in the Premier League. Therefore, it is worth considering a bet on total goals over 1.5 in the 2nd half.

Goaloo Prediction
The favorite for the upcoming match is West Ham. The team is not performing perfectly, but there's a quite functional atmosphere within the squad. The appointment of Graham Potter wasn't expected to yield results in the short term. Leicester, on the other hand, is in a very bad situation and looks doomed. It's possible that the players might not fight for the coach given the circumstances. Therefore, we note a potential exact score of 2:1.

The victory over Arsenal should inspire West Ham, especially considering they performed well in the first half and defended confidently after scoring a goal. Leicester will likely try to play on counterattacks, as they did in the first round, which the "Hammers" will be prepared for. Therefore, we suggest opting for a West Ham victory.

Pick:  West Ham United Win
