These two teams have struggled so far, but three points in this highly important game would certainly be a big help. Let's hear it for West Ham United - Leeds United!

Insights:
  • West Ham United have the fewest matches over the total-line (13) in Premier League
  • Leeds United have the most conceded goals (71) in Premier League

West Ham United are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Leeds are struggling to avoid relegation.

These are hectic days for the team playing at home, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at AZ.

West Ham United form and stats

7-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for West Ham United so far this season. When West Ham United hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like West Ham United, Southampton, Leicester City, Everton, AFC Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest), they have won 4 of 5 matches!

West Ham United are returning here after visiting AZ in a Europa Conference League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. The goalie Aréola was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.62 out of ten. Aréola topped it up with a clean sheet.

Heartbreak before that as West Ham lost 0-2 at Brentford's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with West Ham United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with West Ham United as a small favourite), we find 5 games. West Ham United has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

West Ham United has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. On the other hand, West Ham have conceded 23 goals. West Ham United has at home met teams with this table position (low), five times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.

Leeds United form and stats

Leeds United have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-3-13 (18 played). Bitter travels for Leeds United as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Wolverhampton Wanderers match.

There were no winners in Leeds United's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Newcastle United (placed 3rd). Midfield player Forshaw was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.34/10. Forshaw hit one key pass and had 19 successful passes (of 23 total).

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Manchester City's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leeds playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 2 Leeds United wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 10 of this side's 11 latest league rounds have ended with at least three goals.

Leeds United are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 18 games (in the league). The Leeds United manager Allardyce has some worries about the defense as 38 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This was the scoreline when the squads played each other earlier this season; Leeds United - West Ham United 2-2. Stats for the last eight meetings between these two squads are: four wins for West Ham, three draws and one win for Leeds United. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
