Manchester United - West Ham United betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.72 is a solid option. That said, West Ham United may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

With a matchup like this, it seems like we already know the outcome. West Ham stand little chance of achieving anything except an appearance. Most bookies price an away win for this match at 5.10, marking an insurmountable difference.

Manchester United’s latest away game at Chelsea was an inconclusive stalemate which persisted throughout the runtime. Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, however, the 1:1 result isn’t too bad for Manchester United.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a decisive victory in their recent home game, which earned them 3 points and a solid 2:0 goal difference. Such an outcome was hardly surprising, though – most bookmakers online saw them as the clearly stronger team in that particular matchup.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at The National Stadium this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

The hosts are in a solid position as number 6th in the standings, but more is expected of them. Another 3 points here will do great in getting them closer to the top, which seems like a likely outcome.

The Hammers’s only goal this early in the season is to put some more distance between them and the dreaded relegation zone. They’re currently number 10th in the standings, though, with some difficult matchups coming up.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Raphaël Varane, Brandon Williams, Anthony Martial are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Manchester Utd’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.07. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
