Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Ham to Win | 10/11 @ Betfred (52.4%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | We are backing West Ham because they have won five of the last nine meetings and face a Leeds side who have nothing to play for here. Yes, West Ham have been poor and will be nervous, but the incentive of safety can be enough to bring out a huge performance here. |
| Bowen to assist | 17/4 @ SpreadEx (45.5%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Jarrod Bowen has again been West Ham United’s key attacking threat this season, producing eight goals and 10 assists in 37 appearances while continuing to carry much of their forward play. The 29-year-old has added four assists in his last six Premier League matches, underlining his recent creative form as West Ham push for results, making him a strong candidate to register another assist on Sunday given his central role in the side.Odds correct at the time of writing. |
How both teams go into Leeds vs West Ham
West Ham United head into the final day still with a slim chance of survival, but they remain big outsiders and must beat Leeds United while also hoping Tottenham Hotspur lose. Any other outcome would confirm relegation and see the Hammers drop into the Championship next season.
Leeds United head to London in strong form, unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches, and still hold an outside chance of finishing as high as 11th. It would mark an impressive turnaround for Daniel Farke’s side, who were in the relegation zone as recently as December.
West Ham team news
Valentin Castellanos is expected to start after impressing off the bench against Newcastle last weekend, with Callum Wilson likely to drop out of the XI. West Ham United have no fresh injury concerns heading into the final-day fixture.
Leeds team news
Leeds United are dealing with an increasing injury list heading into the final day, with several key players doubtful for the trip to the London Stadium. That could open the door for Lukas Nmecha and Wilfried Gnonto to start in the capital, while Pascal Struijk is ruled out.

Will West Ham win despite their defensive frailties?
Despite sitting in the bottom three, West Ham have the prospect of Premier League safety on the line, while Leeds do not having anything to play for. West Ham will be nervous, however our recommended bet is West Ham to win at 10/11 with Betfred (52.4%), which looks the best value given the recent trends and the Irons’ desperation for points.
