Before you lock in your West Ham vs. Leicester City picks or English Premier League predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.

Green knows that West Ham is coming off a shocking 1-0 victory over second-place Arsenal and that victory should provide additional confidence as they create some separation from the relegation zone now heading into a matchup with the team second-to-last on the table. West Ham has allowed one goal or fewer in three of their last four games. Jarrod Bowen, who leads the team in both goals (seven) and assists (four), scored the winner against Arsenal and has scored in three of the last five games. 

Green has also taken into account that Leicester City are nearing desperation mode to avoid relegation. Leicester City, who have avoided relegation since returning to the Premier League in 2014, are five points behind climbing out of relegation with less than one-third of the season left. Leicester City's previous victory over West Ham this season though should provide a lift behind three different goal scorers in the 3-1 victory. 

Now, Green has taken a close look at the English Premier League match from all sides. He is leaning Over on the goal total and has locked in three confident picks. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his best bets and analysis before making any selections of your own.
