West Ham U21 vs Leicester U21 tips and predictions

Leicester U21 epitomising underdog role in Premier League 2 clash

The short West Ham U21 price has made them impossible to pick. Leicester U21 can upset the odds here but it's really not a strong prediction.

West Ham U21 can't be trusted in terms of value betting. They've lost 3 of their last 5 games at home. Their tactics in the final third haven't helped their recent goal tally. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 5 matches on their own patch which is fact that should be interesting to backers of any huge upset that could be on the cards. Their defensive stats at home could be telling in this match-up too. They have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 3 home matches. Maybe this lends some further evidence supporting the upset.

Leicester U21 are frequently showing what what they are capable of on their day. While they are facing a massive task there is still some logic in liking the chances for the visitors to come through this test at the big price. They've scored two or more goals in 6 of their last 7 games. Their goal scorers are going to have to add to these numbers to have any chance whatsoever here. They have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 6 matches.

The sportsbooks are predicting both sides to get in on the act despite the blatant favouritism for West Ham U21. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option for this particular encounter.
