There's balance in this tie, and only details are expected to decide who scrapes into the FA Cup semi-finals.

Both are seeking safety in the Premier League over anything else, so the Cup is a massive bonus this season.

Given what happened in recent games between the two, I'm looking at goals for my West Ham vs. Leeds predictions and free betting picks on April 5.

West Ham vs Leeds picks and predictions

My West Ham vs Leeds best bet: Over 2.5 goals (-133 at Sports Interaction)

When these two meet, goals are almost guaranteed. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of their last four encounters, with three of them even going over 3.5.

West Ham have scored at least twice in each of their last five home games against Leeds, so Sunday's visitors are an opponent they enjoy playing against, regardless of the context. Expect neither team to hold back, and we’ll see goals at both ends.

West Ham vs Leeds same-game parlay (SGP)

Over 2.5 goals

Jarrod Brown 1+ shots on target

Callum Wilson 1+ shots on target

Dominic Calvert-Lewin 1+ shots on target

I'm counting on the attacking players to deliver on Sunday afternoon, so I'll be looking for individual contributions. Despite his team being involved in a relegation battle, Jarrod Bowen is a player England national team manager Thomas Tuchel rates highly.

He was involved in the two friendlies England played during the international window. However, he needs consistency in the final phase of the season if he is to secure a place on Tuchel’s World Cup plane.

I'm expecting him to be one of West Ham’s driving forces against Leeds. In the Premier League, he has recorded 23 shots on target in 31 matches so far.

I'm not leaving Callum Wilson out of my parlay either. The 34-year-old thrives in these kinds of games. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he is a constant danger to opposition defenses. In the league, he has scored five goals from 12 shots on target.

I'm also including Dominic Calvert-Lewin as well. He has 26 shots on target in 28 Premier League games for Leeds this season. He tested the goalkeeper three times in Leeds’ previous two matches, so I expect more of the same against West Ham.
