Manchester United - West Ham United predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.70 bring great value considering the fact that Manchester United are indeed firm favourites to defeat West Ham United.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with The Hammers seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 5.16, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Manchester United faced off against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the previous round. Most betting predictions favoured Wolverhampton Wanderers due to the home-field advantage, but the visitors did well to take an early lead in the first half and claw their way towards a hairpin victory (3:4).

The away team’s latest Premier League showdown was a home game that ended in a draw. Top online bookmakers priced their victory at 2.91 before kick-off, but they fell behind before the 45-minute mark and had to fight hard to avoid defeat.

The first step Manchester United need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The Hammers are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

Though a home win is priced at 1.70, the hosts lost their most recent game against West Ham. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Manchester Utd were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
