Leeds United vs West Ham United Preview and Team News

Leeds United Team News

Daniel Farke will be hoping for a response from his Leeds United side this weekend after the club failed to win in their last two matches. A defeat at Burnley last Saturday leaves them sitting 16th in the Premier League standings. 

Despite dominating possession in their preferred 4-3-3 system, the Whites struggled to capitalize on their advantage and rarely created clear scoring opportunities against a compact defensive unit. Aaronson and Harrison both failed to make an impression, meaning that James and Nmecha could be preferred at Elland Road on Friday. 

Ampadu and Longstaff will have important roles to play this week, as they’ll be tasked with breaking up West Ham’s offensive moves. They’ll also be expected to join the attack and give Leeds extra numbers in the box when crosses are put in. 

Leeds United predicted lineup vs West Ham United (4-3-3): Darlow; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Longstaff, Ampadu, Stach; James, Calvert-Lewin, Nmecha.

West Ham United Team News

It hasn’t been the start to life at the London Stadium that Nuno Espirito Santo would have hoped for. West Ham United remain 19th in the Premier League standings after suffering defeats in each of their last two games. 

Their issues were on full display in Monday’s 2-0 loss to Brentford. The Hammers looked toothless in attack and lacked the creative quality needed to make a real impact. Meanwhile, Todibo and Kilman in the central defensive positions were dragged out of position throughout the clash, as Irving and Soucek struggled to deal with the energetic Brentford midfield. 

West Ham’s lack of attacking talent could hurt their chances of survival this season, as they lack a number nine option with a proven ability to score goals in the Premier League. 

West Ham United predicted lineup vs Leeds United (4-2-3-1): Areola; Walker-Peters, Todibo, Kilman, Scarles; Rodriguez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville; Wilson.

Leeds United vs West Ham United Prediction 

• Pick: Leeds United to win
• Odds: +103 (20Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Leeds United 1-0 West Ham United

A potential relegation six-pointer is set for Elland Road on Friday, and a victory for either of the clubs could be huge in their survival prospects. However, Leeds United look like the standout bet. 

Farke’s men play with energy and intensity across the field, which could be a key factor against a West Ham side that often look sluggish in the middle of the field. Leeds have also saved their best performances this season for home matches, averaging a goal per game from an xG of 1.64. 

West Ham’s lack of creative quality will likely make it difficult for them to create openings against a rival that has limited teams to an xGA of just 1.11 at Elland Road in 2025-26. 

Leeds United vs West Ham United Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: -127 (20Bet)

Everything suggests that this will be a low-scoring clash. Leeds United have defended excellently since returning to the top flight, but they’ve also scored an average of just 0.88 goals per game. 

West Ham’s lack of firepower is reflected by their low xG average of 1.15 and just 0.75 goals per fixture. 

Given the huge stakes this weekend, under 2.5 goals appears to be a standout Leeds United vs. West Ham United prediction.
