Leicester City vs West Ham Picks: Bet Foxes Outright December 03

Three weeks ago, Ruud van Nistelrooy led Manchester United to two straight victories over Leicester City as interim head coach. Now, the Dutchman is in charge of the Foxes and will make his Leicester City debut on Tuesday against West Ham, a team that hasn’t been able to meet expectations.

As expected, the Hammers are slightly favored in the soccer betting odds, but there’s something about Leicester’s new head coach that makes me think the Foxes will be able to turn things around. It’s time to check the best EPL predictions for Leicester City vs West Ham!

Best Two Picks for Leicester City vs West Ham

1. Moneyline Pick: Leicester City (+175)

Last Saturday, Leicester City lost 4-1 to Brentford in Ben Dawson’s farewell party. Of course, that was going to happen. I mean, the Foxes announced Dawson’s replacement a couple of days earlier, and the chemistry and loyalty between Dawson and the players were already broken.

The good news, because I like to see the glass half full, was that Facundo Buonanotte scored his fourth goal of the season. The Argentinian and Jamie Vardy are the Foxes’ top scorers with four goals each, and they are the two main reasons for me to recommend you include the home side in your Premier League soccer picks.

The Foxes have also been slightly better when playing at home. They managed to draw against Tottenham and put up a very good fight against Aston Villa and Chelsea, losing both contests 2-1. Plus, their biggest victory, 4-0 over Tranmere Rovers in the League Cup, was at home.

Of course, having a new head coach also has a lot to do with my Leicester City vs West Ham pick. Van Nistelrooy was in charge of Manchester United for four games and finished 3-1-0 with 11 goals for and three against. As a former striker, the Dutchman loves to keep pushing and keep scoring until the very end.

2. Leicester City Team Total Over 1.5 (+126)

Regardless of the result, Leicester City scored in eight of its last 10 games in all competitions, which means the talent is there to back them at the BetUS sportsbook.

Curiously enough, despite being in 16th place, the Foxes have scored more goals than Newcastle, the team in 11th. They’ve also scored the same number of goals as Nottingham Forest, the team in sixth place.

Now, with Van Nistelrooy in charge, I expect productivity to double because, besides Buonanotte and Vardy, the Foxes’ attacking unit includes Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka, Stephy Mavididi and Abdul Fatawu. In other words, no excuses are allowed!

West Ham will put up a good fight, no doubt about it, but the Hammer’s defensive unit isn’t having a good season either. They’ve conceded 24 goals in 13 games, that’s more than Crystal Palace (17th) and the same as Ipswich Town (19th).

My final online betting prediction is Leicester City winning 2-1.

Bet This Pick: Leicester City Team Total Over 1.5 (+130)
