Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Monday’s game between West Ham United and Leicester City will bring down the curtain on day 2 of the new Premier League campaign. The Hammers came from behind to beat Newcastle United 4-2 in their opener, with the team continuing where they left last term. David Moyes is doing a great job with the capital club, and we are positive that the hosts will stick to their attacking style of play.
Michail Antonio is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while defender Arthur Masuaku should be fit for Monday’s clash. The Foxes, on the other hand, defeated Wolverhampton thanks to Jamie Vardy’s goal. Given Leicester City’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Evans, Justin, and Fofana are injured for the visitors, which is yet another reason why this betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Winston Reid):
Despite playing for Denmark youth teams in the past, Winston Reid decided to represent New Zealand at senior level. The prolific defender spent his youth career at Danish clubs Sonderborg and Midtjylland and he made his first appearance for the Midtjylland first team in the Royal League tournament against Valerenga. Winston Reid was making progress year by year and he was on West Ham’s radar during the 2009/2010 season.
In the summer of 2010 (August) Reid signed a three-year deal with the Hammers and he made his Premier League debut in a 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa on August 14, 2010. However, the New Zealand defender made no more than 12 appearances for West Ham United in his first season for the capital club.
To make things even worse for him, at the end of the 2010/2011 Premier League campaign the Hammers dropped to the Championship. You should bear in mind that Winston Reid played three games for New Zealand at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and he scored a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Slovakia.
