1x2 — draw@ 3.45
EV: 13.0%
Both teams have shown strong defensive tendencies in recent cup games, with Leeds failing to score in 4 of their last 5 and West Ham averaging under 1 goal per game. Both sides are hard to beat in the cup (unbeaten in 3 this season), and the H2H history shows a high draw rate. The model's probability for a draw is higher than bookmaker implied probability, creating a small value edge.
ou_2_5 — under@ 1.2
EV: -2.0%
Both teams' recent matches (especially Leeds) are low scoring: Leeds have 4 clean sheets in last 5 and failed to score in 4, West Ham average 0.8 goals for and 1.6 against in last 5. Under 2.5 has a strong model probability, but the odds offer no value; use only as a parlay leg.
