West Ham take on the visitors Leeds in the quarterfinals of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Sunday, April 5th at London Stadium (London).
West Ham looked solid under David Moyes and even won a trophy — lifting the UEFA Europa Conference League. However, in the summer before last, the experienced Scot was replaced by Julen Lopetegui, who failed, lasting only half a season despite several expensive signings. His successor Graham Potter managed to avoid relegation in 2025 and even finished 14th. But in the new season, things have not gone well for him either, and even after his departure the problems persisted. Only from mid-January did they begin to pick up wins more regularly, yet by spring they still failed to pull away from the relegation zone. They lost 0-2 to Aston Villa F.C. in the last round, but in the cup they eliminated three opponents, including Brentford F.C. on penalties last month. Their recent form remains unstable, with results fluctuating from match to match. Overall, West Ham are struggling to build consistency, especially against teams of a similar level.

Leeds are trying to succeed on multiple fronts. The “Whites” have already returned to the Premier League once and managed to stay there for several seasons. After dropping to the Championship, the club appointed Daniel Farke, who eventually led them back up last spring on his second attempt. Now they are more or less holding above the relegation zone, although the margin is minimal and far from comfortable. Before the international break, they faced Brentford F.C., highlighting how tense their situation remains. It would seem that in such circumstances there is little room to focus on other competitions. Nevertheless, in the cup they managed to eliminate three relatively modest opponents — Derby County F.C., Birmingham City F.C. and Norwich City F.C.. Their recent performances show resilience, especially in knockout matches where they manage to get results. At the same time, their league form remains inconsistent, with constant pressure from teams below them.
In the last five meetings, both clubs have two wins each. Both sides have their strengths and will clearly try to use them to secure a win. The pick is both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
