• Venue: London Stadium (London)

In a crucial Premier League encounter, West Ham United face Leeds United at the London Stadium on Sunday.

While the hosts are safe from the threat of relegation and now find themselves in the Conference League final following a semi-final success against AZ on Thursday, Leeds arrives in London one point from safety and, with just two games remaining in the season, will be desperate to return home with all three points. 

West Ham vs Leeds Betting Tips: BTTS and over 2.5 goals / Leeds or draw

With just two games remaining in the season, every point becomes vital, making this clash a crucial one for the Elland Road side. However, while neither side is in good form,  the stage is set for an exhilarating encounter, and all signs point towards a high-scoring affair.

In each of their last 11 Premier League games, Leeds have witnessed both teams finding the back of the net. Moreover, ten of those 11 matches featured three or more goals, highlighting their ability to entertain, even without success. Leeds have now failed to win any of their last seven PL matches.

Leeds' away record further supports the expectation of an exciting match. In seven of their last ten away Premier League matches, the visitors witnessed both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals, including their previous five away games. Their offensive approach on the road, combined with a leaky defence, has often resulted in thrilling encounters.

While West Ham has struggled in recent matches, losing four of their last five Premier League fixtures, they have displayed a tendency to find the net at home. In four of their last six home games, the Hammers have seen both teams scoring, suggesting we can be confident that both teams will get on the scoresheet.

Considering all the aforementioned factors, this clash promises plenty of action and goalmouth drama, with Leeds potentially capable of taking advantage of a fatigued Hammers side.
