West Ham vs Leicester

Current streaks

Recent form

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Hammers struggling to find consistent results. Their latest victory against Arsenal was a notable upset, ending a three-match winless streak. The team have managed only two wins in their last six games, with three losses and a draw, indicating a challenging period for the East London side. Despite their low position in the league table, West Ham have shown an ability to compete against top teams, as evidenced by their win over Arsenal. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in the last six matches, while conceding slightly more at 1.33 goals per game. The 3-2 victory over Fulham stands out as a high-scoring affair in an otherwise low-scoring run, with 67% of their recent matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals.

Leicester

Leicester City are currently enduring a torrid run of form, finding themselves in 19th position in the Premier League with a mere 17 points from 26 games. The Foxes are on a concerning four-match losing streak, with their sole victory in the last six games coming against Tottenham Hotspur in a surprising 2-1 away win. Their defensive woes are particularly alarming, having conceded 15 goals in their last six matches (2.5 per game) and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 22 games. Two high-scoring defeats stand out: a 4-0 thrashing by Everton and a 4-0 home loss to Brentford. Leicester's attacking prowess has also been lacking, managing to score just three goals in their last six outings (0.5 per game), with two-thirds of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. The team's struggles are further emphasised by their inability to find the net in four of their last five matches across all competitions.

Recent home/away form

West Ham

West Ham's recent home form has been notably inconsistent, with the Hammers experiencing a challenging run in their last six matches at the London Stadium. The team have managed just two victories in this period, interspersed with three defeats and a draw. A concerning trend for West Ham is their inability to keep clean sheets, having conceded in all six games. The 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, contributing significantly to their goal difference of -6 over these matches. Despite the overall struggles, West Ham have shown some attacking prowess, as evidenced by their thrilling 3-2 victory over Fulham. However, the team's recent form has taken a downturn, with two consecutive home losses against Crystal Palace and Brentford, failing to score in both matches. This run of poor results has likely contributed to their current 16th position in the league, highlighting the need for improved performances at home to climb the table.

Leicester

Leicester City's recent away form has been woeful, with the Foxes suffering a concerning run of five defeats in their last six matches on the road. The team have struggled defensively, conceding a staggering 16 goals in these six games, with particularly heavy losses to Everton (4-0) and Newcastle United (4-0). Their sole victory came against Tottenham Hotspur, but this has been overshadowed by their defensive frailties, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. Leicester's attacking output has also been lacklustre, managing to score just five goals across these six away fixtures. With over 2.5 goals occurring in all of these games and both teams scoring in 67% of them, Leicester's away matches have been high-scoring affairs, albeit primarily to their detriment. This poor run of form has contributed to their precarious 19th position in the league, highlighting the urgent need for improvement in their away performances.
