The West Ham ValueChecker wikis suggest that West Ham might not be a team to trust even when they hold a lead. West Ham were the worst side in the Premier League in 2010/11 at hanging onto a lead. When scoring first in 14 of their 38 games, they managed to hold onto all three points on only 6 occasions. Finding themselves pulled back to draw four times and turned over and beaten a further four times. If West Ham score first in this game there could be some value in laying them in running.

As for the Leicester ValueChecker wikis, they back up this in running bet showing that Leicester half a poor record in the opening half hour of games but a stronger record in the second half of games. It is easy to see West Ham scoring first here and then perhaps the ValueChecker Value Bets being proved correct with this game ending all square.

If Leicester can take the lead and hold on to it until half time they will look a great in running bet to hold on to that lead. If Leicester City were winning at half time in 2010/11(14 times), they went on to win 12 times, drawing twice, but not losing at all when winning at half time.
