Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for West Ham vs. Manchester City at English Premier League

Where: London Stadium, London, England
When: Sunday, September 1, 12:30 AM

The Citizens were furious in the opening two rounds, while West Ham had a neutral score of one win and one loss. However, the Hammers managed to bounce back following an opening defeat, thus gaining some momentum ahead of the champions’ arrival. City is already rushing in full speed, and Ipswich saw that last weekend, once they poked the bear only to see his rage afterward.

West Ham vs. Manchester City Preview

West Ham

The Hammers lost at home in the first meeting of the year, when Aston Villa took all three points with a 1-2 victory. Everyone believed that the negative trend might continue in the previous round once West Ham visited Palace at Selhurst Road, yet that didn’t happen.

Julen Lopetegui’s crew was decisive, beating the home unit 0-2, and restoring the balance in their record, winning the first three points in this campaign.

More importantly, their play showed a fighting mentality and an ability to recover after a nasty blow. That stubbornness was something that separated the Hammers from all the other teams over the last few years.

Manchester City

Ipswich scored first at the Etihad, waking up the sleepy giant, who showed all its power until the halftime. Eventually, the final score was 4-1, with Erling Haaland netting a hat-trick and immediately announcing his candidacy for the Golden Boot.

The Citizens have three wins in a row now since the beginning of the season. After winning the Community Shield against Manchester United, they beat Chelsea and then Ipswich.

We saw no sign of fatigue among their players even though the majority had a busy summer, and right now, they still look like the biggest favorites for the title in the English Premier League.

On the other hand, Man City’s playstyle has been known for a long time, and with Haaland in its current shape, they are a machine for producing goals. So, our pick here is for both teams to score.
