Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Manchester City vs. West Ham at English Premier League
The title is within City’s reach, and they only need to beat West Ham in the final round of the Premiership season. Manchester overcame a very nast challenge in London against Tottenham, jumping over Arsenal, compared to whom they currently have two more points. As for the Hammers, they are closing one mediocre season, in which we didn’t see them accomplish anything worthy of mentioning. On the other hand, they spent a lot of money before the start of the same.
Manchester City
Since losing to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, Man City posted six straight victories, allowing just one goal during this victorious stretch. The Citizens’ defense has been vital in these successes, and many of their fans are wondering why couldn’t have they been this confident against Los Blancos.
Meanwhile, the attack was equally impressive, netting two or more goals in the last five meetings. There were some minor problems against Tottenham, but in the end, everything fell into place.
City is the only team in the league without a loss at home. They have 13 victories and five ties, netting 48 while allowing 15 goals.
West Ham
The Hammers are in the middle of the standings, and we are more or less sure this wasn’t planned before the season began. The team from London spent way too much money to settle with this, and have one of the worst defenses in the Premiership.
After 37 league games this year, West Ham’s defense conceded 71 times, while they scored 59 goals. They are close to having a neutral record, carrying 14 wins, ten ties, and 13 losses into the game against City.
However, in the past ten outings, they’ve won just twice, having seven defeats and one tie. To make it even worse, the previous pair of contests were disasters, with the Hammers losing to Crystal Palace, 5-2, and Chelsea, 5-0.
Manchester City: Ortega; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Doku, Haaland, Foden
West Ham United: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Emerson; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Bowen
Manchester City was victorious at London Stadium in the first meeting of the year. The result was 1-3, with the Hammers leading at halftime following Ward-Prowse’s goal. On the other side, Doku, Silva, and Haaland netted in the second 45 minutes.
With the Citizens being near the title this close, we aren’t going to overthink here but bet on them to win. Sure, West Ham won’t give up, but even if they would like to ruin City’s title plans, their form is just way too bad.
Our verdict: Manchester City wins
