Tipster’s Angle

West Ham United has beaten Leeds in the Premier League fixture that they played this season. So, it is likely that West Ham will advance to the next phase. Also, a high scorer is expected similar to the previous Premier League head to head.

Tip: West Ham To Win @ 1.80

In the last nine matches that West Ham United has played across competitions, they have won three matches, drawn two matches, and lost four matches. Leeds United has won two matches, drawn two matches, and lost four matches in the last eight matches that they have played across competitions. West Ham has won just one match in their last four home matches while Leeds is winless in their last four away matches.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.72

In the last seven head-to-head matches, both teams managed to find the back of the net on five occasions, while clean sheets were kept in just two matches. They played a match in the Premier League, which resulted in both teams scoring as well. Also, two of the last three head-to-head matches hosted by West Ham had both teams scoring. In the last nine matches that West Ham has played, they have seen both teams scoring in six of those matches. West Ham doesn’t have a really strong defense, so both teams scoring is a likely possibility. And 1.72 odds are available for the same at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

To qualify to the next round looks like an uphill task for Leeds as they are facing an in-form team in West Ham United. West Ham United has a better chance of making it to the knockouts if they don’t make many changes to their starting XI.
