Over 2.5 goals at Leeds vs West Ham 4/6 for Friday’s Premier League matchup

Competition: Premier League

Market: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could prove to be another high-scoring contest on Friday night, Leeds vs West Ham will take place at an empty Elland Road.

Starting with the hosts, while Everton might have managed to pick up three points and bring an end to their winless run away at Goodison Park when drawing a close to November, the Whites came crashing back down to earth last weekend. Eventually hit with what turned into a 3-1 drumming away at title outsiders Chelsea in West London, the Premier League returners do find themselves enduring a run of form that has seen them win just a pair of their last eight top-flight contests. While Marcelo Bielsa might find his side also without a win on home soil to their name since that dramatic 4-3 victory over Fulham back on September 19th, the one-time Napoli boss will be boosted by Patrick Bamford’s remarkable start to the 2020/2021 campaign. Bagging what turned into a consolation strike at Stamford Bridge last weekend, the former Chelsea starlet has already notched eight Premier League strikes this season.

As for the visitors, also throwing away the lead last weekend, West Ham were hit with their own 3-1 defeat against Manchester United and the Hammers are seeking an immediate bounce on the road. Still rueing a string of missed opportunities in East London last time out, David Moyes’ men saw their three-match Premier League winning run brought to an end. However, while they might have missed the chance to briefly climb as high as third in the table, West Ham have shocked many since opening the 2020/2021 campaign. While many expected the Londoners to find themselves at the heart of another relegation scrap this season, the former Everton boss has seen his men lose just a pair of their last nine top-flight contests. With their recent run highlighted by that stunning 3-3 draw away at bitter rivals and league leaders Spurs, they have also managed to snatch points off of the likes of Manchester City, Wolves and Leicester.
