West Ham v Leicester City result predicted by supercomputer
West Ham prepare to welcome Leicester City to the London Stadium on Thursday as they look to build on their momentum.
Graham Potter got his second Hammers win under his belt on Saturday (22 February) with a 1-0 win against Arsenal.
Jarrod Bowen’s goal was the difference and a Myles Lewis-Skelly red card in the 73rd minute only helped the Irons in their mission.
West Ham backed for victory against Leicester City
West Ham supporters will be glad to hear that the Opta Analyst Supercomputer is predicting another victory for the Hammers on Thursday (27 February) evening.
The supercomputer believes that West Ham have a 55.7 per cent chance of winning the game.
In comparison, Leicester City have just a 21.6 per cent chance, meaning a draw is more likely than a victory for the Foxes at 22.7 per cent.
| Team | Position | Points |
| West Ham | 16 | 30 |
| Wolves | 17 | 22 |
| Ipswich Town | 18 | 17 |
| Leicester City | 19 | 17 |
Leicester City come into this game five points from safety in the Premier League and on the back of a 4-0 thrashing against Brentford.
This means that the Foxes have now suffered three losses on the bounce.
Potter needs another West Ham victory
It had been a bit of a slow start to life at West Ham for Potter since his arrival at the start of January, prior to the massive win over Arsenal, and he could do with his side now kicking on.
The boss has suffered with injuries in his West Ham side as well as having a lack of resources to use in the winter transfer window to strengthen his side.
However, at times, performances from the Irons have still been well below the expected levels and it’s clear that there is still plenty of work to be at the London Stadium.
The victory against Arsenal was an assured performance and the defensive solidity was something to be applauded, but now the Hammers have to ensure they meet these standards again.
Surely their victory at the weekend will give the whole squad and manager a bit of momentum going into this home game, especially with the task that lies ahead an achievable one.
If Potter can suddenly make it three wins from seven Premier League games in charge, those in East London will surely feel like they can start to see some light at the end of a dark tunnel this season.
