Leeds vs West Ham Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
It's a massive game on Friday night under the lights at Elland Road, with two potential relegation candidates meeting on the back of damaging defeats.
Leeds lost to Burnley on Saturday while the Hammers went down at home to Brentford, leaving questions to be asked of both clubs and both needing a haul from this sort of game if they aim to survive this season.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips ahead of the game.
Leeds vs West Ham Tips
We will have football tips for every Premier League game this season, so here's a look at three predictions for tonight's game.
Tip 1: Leeds to win to nil - 23/10
I'm not expecting a classic by any means on Friday night.
These are two teams going into the game on the back of poor results and poor performances, in need of getting some points on the board.
For Leeds, they have had some decent performances at home this season and need to make it into a fortress if they are to have serious hopes of surviving this season, and that means they need to tighten up at the back.
They have gone behind in each of their last five matches, so I think we will see defensive reinforcements in the shape of Jaka Bijol at the heart of defence and potentially Lucas Perri in net.
Their success under Farke has generally been built on a solid defence, and I think we'll see them go back to that and looking to nick a narrow win - that's far more likely than them going out to play West Ham off the park anyway.
West Ham are in serious trouble right now. They do have attacking threat but they just haven't clicked under Nuno yet. I'm not writing them off completely in this game, but I could see Leeds nicking a tight game.
West Ham haven't scored in their last two games and Jarrod Bowen - who has a good record against Leeds - has an xG of 0.9 so far this season. In eight games, that's a huge concern for your star man.
Tip 2: Calvert-Lewin + Bowen to have 1.5+ shots on target - 12/1
Leeds have looked decent in spells so far this season, they just have a glaring weakness in attack and a real lack of creativity.
The burden on Dominic Calvert-Lewin is very heavy which means at times he looks like their only real outlet and threat in front of goal.
He is averaging over 2.5 shots per game (and 1.5 shots on target per 90 minutes) and should get plenty of supply from the full-backs swinging crosses into the box, even if they maybe don't create the best chances for him.
With Leeds at home and likely to enjoy the majority of the ball, I think he will get chances it's just whether they are good enough chances for him to put them away, or if he is good enough to convert them - an issue which has dogged him throughout his career.
For West Ham, everything must go through Bowen and he has a good record against Leeds with five goals in 12 matches.
While it hasn't clicked for him yet this season, he is averaging over two shots per game and I think West Ham playing on the break at Elland Road should suit him.
Keep an eye out for him scoring from outside the box too, Leeds' defence and midfield has a habit of stepping off attackers and he won't hesitate to pull the trigger which could spell danger for Leeds.
Tip 3: Jaka Bijol to score a header - 28/1
My final tip is a bit of a longshot, but there is a bit of method to the madness.
With Pascal Struijk suffering with illness this week, Leeds fans are expecting to see Jaka Bijol make his full Premier League debut following his summer move from Serie A.
It's been clear since the transfer window and early games of the season that Leeds will target set pieces as a way of winning points this season, and Bijol could be a big part of that.
He has scored goals throughout his career and his presence in the box will certainly be a threat for West Ham to consider on Friday night, and with Sean Longstaff impressing with his deliveries, I think we will really see Leeds make Bijol into a bit of a set-piece target man before the end of the season.
