Manchester City vs. West Ham Predictions

• Where: Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
• When: May 3, Wednesday, 9 pm CET

The title is at stake in every match Manchester City plays until the end of the campaign. The Citizens beat Arsenal in a direct matchup last week, and they can’t allow to waste such a convenience. Gardiola’s crew is awfully close to another English Premier League trophy and needs to use the current development. On the other side is West Ham, who slowly got away from the bottom of the standings but not that far to feel safe.

Manchester City vs. West Ham Preview

Manchester City

The Citizens have demolished Arsenal in the game that might have decided the entire season. A few months ago, we saw them do the same, but afterward, the champs slowed down, allowing the Gunners to pull away once again. 

Pep Guardiola’s primary mission in the current situation is to prevent his players from relaxing and repeating the same thing. His unit plays great football and is the strongest in England, but they have to keep going at the same pace.

Man City is the best home team in the league, playing 16 matches at the Etihad, having 14 wins with one draw and loss each. Their attack is the best, with 54 goals scored in front of its crowd. 

West Ham

The Hammers are a few points above the relegation zone, and have a game in hand, which would be this one. Over the past few weeks, West Ham improved its results and started moving up in the standings, yet as mentioned earlier, the gap between them and the red area is still narrow.

We need to say that the team from London plays solid on the road these days, and that goes for all the competitions. They have two wins in the Premiership and the UEFA Europa Conference League. We haven’t seen them allow a goal in three of those contests.

The best part of the team is a very strong and physical midfield that can crush pretty much any rival on the other side but has underachieved this year.

Manchester City versus West Ham Predictions

The Citizens should easily roll over the rivals because Hammers don’t have the needed quality to compete with Guardiola’s machinery. On top of everything, the hosts need three points to take the lead in the title race, so we suggest betting on them winning.
