Manchester City - West Ham United betting tips and odds

Manchester City are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.22, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

With a price of 16.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear West Ham United will likely not fare well against The Citizens. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The previous round produced an expected result for The Sky Blues, considering they were overwhelmingly considered the favourites in that matchup. They secured an early lead against Fulham and kept it up until the end, which was in line with most Premier League betting predictions.

West Ham lost their previous away game 4:3 after playing most of the match from behind. To be frank, the loss was a closer call than most expected - Premier League betting odds priced their victory at 3.25, after all.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, City attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The hosts likely have their eyes set at the first spot on the table, for which they’ll need 5 points. We’re already at round 28, though, so they’ll need to take every opportunity they can get. Thankfully, they should be able to walk away with 3 points this Wednesday.

These two teams already clashed this season, and The Sky Blues walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving The Hammers supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

Thankfully, The Hammers will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
