As we approach another set of fixtures which lead to the end of the current Premier League season, we’re provided a further attempt at taking part in the Sky Super 6.
A lot of football fans even see Super 6 as a highlight to their weekend but it’s a different situation for the fans who have to abide their own team being added to the list of six different fixtures in contention.
Sky Super 6
It’s likely that a lot of sides feature predominantly in the free-to-play game throughout the campaign, but The Hammers have been in the Super 6 nineteen times so far this season and find themselves on the list again this weekend. Picking out your own tips for the Sky Super 6 can be difficult at times and there aren’t always places that recommend specific results. Footy Accumulators are the only exception, as they facilitate a page which is devoted to presenting their own picks every time SkyBet open the floor to another round.
Round 61 will be West Ham’s twentieth appearance in the Super 6 this season alone and it’s a clear indication that they’re considered as being one of the hardest teams to predict. That’s a fair comment to make after the season they’ve had, showing signs of promise, yo-yoing up and down the table but toying with relegation all too often.
Previous appearances in the Super 6 have come in high numbers but the last three have been at the start of March, where Swansea City thrashed West Ham United 4-1, in the following week where it was a damning 3-0 defeat at home to Burnley, and most recently in their 3-0 win over Southampton at the end of March. Most players predicted a draw with The Swans, expected them to win against The Clarets, and had mixed thoughts over facing Southampton, but there’s less hope as they play away to Leicester City this weekend.
Following on from some stronger form after the sacking of Craig Shakespeare, Leicester City’s fortunes took another nosedive which now has them without a win in their last four Premier League games. Even playing at home hasn’t been much of a boost for The Foxes, as they’ve won just once in their last seven at the King Power. Despite all this, rumours of manager Claude Puel being under pressure would see him needing a win imminently.
Clearly a large portion of punters and Super 6 players are backing Leicester to capitalise on West Ham’s poor run of form, as over 50% are backing them to win, then closely followed by around 25% who are backing a win for The Hammers, and under 20% who are going for a draw.
