Manchester City vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

The oddsmakers unsurprisingly have the defending champions as heavy 1.20 favorites to get the win considering their home form this season. West Ham come in at a massive price of 13.00 to pull off the upset while the draw sits at odds of 7.00. Manchester City are also 1.06 favorites to win the league as a fifth league title in the past six years seems inevitable.

Manchester City earned a 2-1 away victory over Fulham on the weekend thanks to two first half goals from leading goalscorer Erling Haaland and World Cup winner Julian Alvarez. The result makes it 13 wins from the last 14 matches for Pep Guardiola’s side, whose only blemish during that run was a 1-1 away draw to Bayern in the Champions League. We may well be witnessing the best version of Manchester City under the legendary Catalan manager during his seven years at the club with his team on pace for a historic treble. The Citizens are running like a well-oiled machine at this point and have notched 37 goals in their last 10 matches across all competitions. 

West Ham’s exploits in the Conference League have done much to mitigate the disappointment from their league performance so far. However, they will ultimately have to go on to win the competition for fans to not feel like the season was a complete disaster after witnessing their team finish seventh last year. West Ham have suffered two consecutive defeats following their 4-3 away defeat to Crystal Palace on the weekend. With six goals conceded in the last two matches, that number is likely to increase significantly given the Hammers next two fixtures. Things haven’t gone well for West Ham as the away team this season as they've lost 10 of their 16 outings while only managing three wins during that time.
