LEEDS, England (Interstat) — A struggling West Ham United side, desperate for any positive result, travels to face Leeds United at Elland Road on Friday in a Premier League matchup of teams seeking momentum.

The visiting Hammers are in a deep slump, carrying a 1-5-1 league record into the contest. Their form across all competitions is even more dire at 1-7-1. West Ham is coming off a 2-0 home loss to Brentford on Monday and has been outscored 10-0 in its last three league matches, with its only win this season coming against Nottingham Forest in August.

Leeds (2-2-3) has been marginally better but is also looking to rebound from a loss, having fallen 2-0 at Burnley last Saturday. Manager Daniel Marsch will hope the home pitch provides an advantage, as his team has shown resilience there with a win over Wolverhampton and a draw with Newcastle United this season.

Despite the stark contrast in recent fortunes, statistical models heavily favor the visitors. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for West Ham, while its ELO rating system gives the Hammers a 93.70 percent probability to win.

The match kicks off at 8 p.m. local time on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025.
