Leeds take on the visitors West Ham in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, October 24th at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds not so long ago, under Bielsa’s guidance, earned promotion from the Championship after years of stagnation. However, Marcelo wasn’t allowed to complete a second full season in the Premier League. The following campaign, after his dismissal, the team lost their top-flight status once again. With Farke, the management seemed far more patient, keeping faith in him even after he failed to secure promotion in his first attempt. But in 2024/2025 things finally clicked, and Leeds returned stronger. They began the new Premier League season with a victory over Everton, but then came a heavy 0-5 loss to Arsenal and a League Cup elimination to Sheffield Wednesday on penalties. Since then, the results have been modest at best, and their latest 0-2 defeat to Burnley only deepened concerns. Leeds continue to struggle for attacking consistency, and their defensive line has looked vulnerable against more organized opponents. The team needs a turning point soon to avoid being dragged into a relegation fight.

West Ham hopes it has finally found the right manager. The “Hammers” performed well under Moyes, even winning the Conference League, but the club hierarchy wanted more. They spent over a hundred million on new players last summer and turned to Lopetegui, hoping for a more progressive style, yet his tenure was a complete failure. He was replaced by Potter mid-season, though results barely improved and survival was the only real achievement. The new campaign hasn’t brought progress either — quite the opposite. Nuno Espírito Santo took charge in September, starting with a draw against Everton, which was followed by predictable defeats to Arsenal and Brentford, both 0-2. The team’s performances remain uninspiring, with little sign of tactical cohesion or belief. Unless results change soon, West Ham could find themselves once again fighting to stay clear of the bottom three.
West Ham have won 5 of their last 7 meetings with Leeds, losing just once. The “Hammers” may be seen as underdogs here, but their opponents hardly look convincing either. The most logical pick seems to be “total under 2.5 goals.”
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
