West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Sridhar in Premier League Predictions
West Ham’s quest for a rare win against Manchester City sees them host the champions on Saturday. This Premier League match at the London Stadium comes with our prediction of being a high-scoring clash.
The Hammers have three points from two matches so far, while the Citizens have six points. The hosts have won their last league game after starting with a loss, but halting the visitors looks like a monumental task already, especially as West Ham haven’t won against City since September 2015.
That said, new coach Julen Lopetegui has overseen consecutive wins after a midweek win in the EFL Cup. It would be a huge gamble to back them on the win stakes still, but stranger things have happened in football.
Is there a surprise awaiting the champions at the London Stadium this weekend? Can West Ham pull a rabbit out of the hat and stun Manchester City? Read our prediction and find some interesting insights.

West Ham - Manchester City: Form Analysis
West Ham United are coming off a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. That was their second win in a row, preceded by a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend. Jarrod Bowen made his mark with two goals in those two matches, while Tomáš Souček scored the other.
The Hammers started their home campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on matchday one. In fact, their recent form at this venue has been indifferent, with just one win across their last seven Premier League matches, drawing four and losing two.
City have won the last four matches against West Ham.
That included 3-1 wins in both the league matches last season. Manchester City started this year’s campaign with a clinical 2-0 win over Chelsea on the opening weekend, followed by a 4-1 win over newcomers Ipswich Town last weekend.
The defending champions did receive a scare against Ipswich, conceding the opening goal within the first ten minutes. It was a Haaland hat-trick that got them the win, along with Kevin de Bruyne scoring once, giving them an 11th league win in a row. West Ham’s chances of halting that streak here look bleaker, as they haven’t defeated City in the league since September 2015.

West Ham & Manchester City Squad Analysis
West Ham don’t have too many injury concerns, with only Aaron Cresswell doubtful for this match with a hamstring complaint. The Hammers handed out full debuts to latest signings Jean-Clair Todibo and Niclas Fullkrug on Wednesday in the EFL Cup and should see them start here as well.
Tomáš Souček earned plaudits for his reaction to a hoarding falling on a ball boy in the game against Crystal Palace, but his on-field performances have been equally good. He has a goal to his name this season, while his average of four shots per game makes him one of the best in the league in that respect.
City will be sweating over the fitness of Phil Foden and Rodri.
The duo was absent from their win over Ipswich but are expected to feature in some capacity here. Among others, Oscar Bobb faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after an injury in the pre-season games.
The special player he is, Haaland has already raced off the blocks this season. He has four goals to his name after a hat-trick against Ipswich and averages 4.5 shots per game. Playmaker Kevin de Bruyne has a goal and assist to his name and averages three shots per game this season. He also has nine goal contributions (three goals, six assists) in his past 14 Premier League matches against West Ham and could be key here.
West Ham - Manchester City Key Points
- Eight of Manchester City’s last 11 Premier League matches have returned over 2.5 goals.

- Six of West Ham’s last seven league matches have returned at least three goals.
- In their last three home Premier League matches, West Ham have seen more than two goals scored.
- Five of the last six Premier League matches between these sides have returned at least three goals.

Our West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction
City started the season on the right path, winning their first two Premier League matches. While some stern tests await them after the international break, Pep Guardiola’s side will be wary of dropping points so early in the season. They have won their last four league matches against West Ham, a side they defeated 3-1 in both their matches last season.
This time around too, goals could be the order of the day, and hence our prediction for West Ham vs Manchester City is for over 2.5 goals to be scored.
West Ham vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions
Erling Haaland to score two or more goals
Erling Haaland continues to be a goal machine for Manchester City. He is coming off a hat-trick against Ipswich in his last match. That is the third time in his last six Premier League matches that the striker has scored multiple goals. Can he repeat that feat? A slightly risky bet backs him to score two or more goals.
