West Ham vs Leeds FA Cup Betting Tips, Predictions
West Ham and Leeds turn their attention away from the Premier League relegation battle in their bid to secure an FA Cup semi-final spot.
The two teams are only four points apart in the Premier League table, with the Hammers languishing in 18th place and the Whites in 15th, with seven games remaining in the league campaign.Â
Both clubs could arguably do without the distraction of a cup run, but the prospect of a trip to Wembley may provide the perfect opportunity to build momentum for the run-in.
It has been 46 years since West Ham lifted the trophy, while you have to go back all the way to 1972 for Leeds’ last FA Cup triumph.
West Ham vs Leeds FA Cup Tips
We’ve picked out three betting tips for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final clash.
Tip 1: West Ham to win to nil
The Hammers overcame Brentford in the fifth round of the competition via a penalty shootout. Jarrod Bowen notched a brace, but his efforts were cancelled out by Igor Thiago to send the contest to extra-time before Nuno’s side prevailed.
West Ham have improved in the second half of the campaign under the Portuguese’s tenure, giving them hope of dragging themselves out of the relegation zone.
Their home form has been notable too, with spirited draws against Manchester United and Manchester City, along with a victory over Sunderland.
Even without the injured Crysencio Summerville, the Hammers have a proven match-winner in Bowen that should give them the edge over the Whites, who have failed to score in four of the last five matches.
Betting sites have solid value for West Ham to win with a clean sheet.
Tip 2: Jarrod Bowen to score anytime
Bowen was the star of the fifth round for the Hammers with a brace, along with scoring in the shootout.
The 29-year-old was not given ample time to press his case for a World Cup during the international break and he may still have to prove himself to Thomas Tuchel to earn his place on the plane to North America.
The goals against Brentford were welcome for the Hammers skipper, but he has struggled for consistency, failing to find the net in seven of his last eight.
Nuno needs Bowen at his best for the closing stages, and he always seems to save his best for home matches and on big occasions. Football betting sites have a 21/10 price for the England international to score anytime.
Tip 3: Under 3.5 cards
Referee Craig Pawson has been assigned the game and has been reluctant to go to his cards this season. He has the lowest card average in the Premier League, averaging 2.47 cards per game in his 17 matches.
Leeds and West Ham are also two of the best behaved sides in the top flight, so I wouldn’t expect a lot of cards in this one. Under 3.5 cards is just shy of evens, but with a decent stake could return a solid yield.
