My Prediction
West Ham by 1Taking a gander at this upcoming clash, we have Leicester City, led in net by the dynamic duo of Jakub Stolarczyk and Mads Hermansen. Now these gents have managed to pull together 14 saves between them this season, not shabby at all! On the pitch, the Foxes will be counting on their top performers, notably Bilal El Khannouss and Jamie Vardy who've proven they can stir some chaos with their number of shots and passing accuracy. But let's not forget, Leicester City's recent match history has more L's than a game of Hangman.
On the flip side, West Ham's goaltending fortress is manned by Alphonse Aréola who's chalked up 12 saves, and we've seen evidence that, like a bear protecting her cubs, Aréola can take some stings. The Hammers have Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Wan-Bissaka leading the charge on the turf, with Bowen already boasting of 2 goals this season and both players showing impressive passing accuracy. That being said, West Ham's recent encounters also carry their fair share of tough defeats.
Considering each team's regular season record, West Ham clearly has the edge, with 4 more wins in the bag than Leicester City. A quick history lesson shows us that the previous meetings lean in favor of Leicester City though, which does spice things up. Wow, it's like trying to choose a favorite child.
However, taking into account some minutiae that us commentators seem to obsess about (not mentioning any specifics here), I reckon West Ham have a marginal upper hand in this contest. But then again, football can be more unpredictable than a season finale of a popular drama series.
