The Matchday 9 Premier League clash between Leeds and West Ham will take place on October 24 at Elland Road. Leeds vs. West Ham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Leeds
Daniel Farke's side has struggled in the last two rounds, suffering defeats. First, they lost at home to Tottenham (1-2), followed by an away defeat to Burnley (0-2). The team has failed to win in three consecutive Premier League matches, having drawn with Bournemouth (2-2) before these losses. Leeds is currently in 16th place, only three points above the relegation zone.
- The club has not won in 15 of their last 17 Premier League games (4 draws and 11 losses).

Forward Niclas Füllkrug is likely to miss the game due to injury.
West Ham
Despite having a new head coach, the Londoners are still struggling to emerge from the crisis that began last season. Nuno Espírito Santo's side has now lost two consecutive matches for the third time this season. They were defeated by Arsenal (0-2) away and then lost at home to Brentford by the same scoreline. Notably, the last time West Ham failed to score in two consecutive Premier League matches was in November last year. The team is currently in the relegation zone and has conceded the most goals in the league – 18.

Leeds vs. West Ham: Match Prediction
This is a very difficult match to predict. Both clubs are in poor form, having secured only three wins between them in the current league season. Both teams have defeated Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest, who are also in crisis. It's hard to highlight anything positive in these teams, as both are lacking in quality players. Therefore, I recommend betting on both teams to score.
Leeds has conceded in all five of their previous rounds. Meanwhile, West Ham has only kept a clean sheet against Nottingham in their last 10 league matches. It seems neither team will play defensively in this match, as they both need points, which can only be achieved through attacking play. Notably, both teams have scored in the last four Premier League meetings between these sides.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
