This run includes a narrow 1-0 win against Liverpool U21 and a convincing 3-0 victory away to Aldershot Town.

Key factors
Key factors that may influence this match include Leicester's need to bounce back after their poor start to the season, while West Ham United U21 comes into this match with momentum and confidence from their recent results. Furthermore, Leicester must shore up their defense to prevent conceding early goals, which could hinder their chances further. Both teams will likely adopt tactical approaches focusing on their recent forms — Leicester may look to play defensively while aiming for counter-attacks, whereas West Ham may try to exploit the home side's weaknesses to secure maximum points.
Prediction
Given the comparative strengths of both teams, West Ham United U21 enters this match with a clear advantage. Their recent form and the potential for an attacking display place them as favorites, particularly against a Leicester side struggling to find its footing early in the season. The underlying stats indicate that Leicester is likely to struggle again against an away side that has shown they can score consistently while keeping games competitive. Expect West Ham to potentially force Leicester into defensive play resulting in another challenging outing for the home side.
West Ham United U21 is predicted to win this match, leveraging their visiting form and Leicester's current struggles. Their recent performance suggests they are better positioned to secure the three points needed to elevate their prospects in the division.
