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

Prediction published on 26/04/2018, 16:04  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 30/04/2018 at 03:54 in Premier League Predictions

West Ham are still in relegation trouble after a run of just one win in their last six league games. They start the weekend six points above the bottom three but it could be just three points if Southampton beat Bournemouth. They have only lost one of their last seven league games but that started a near-riot. Their main problem is a defence that has kept just two clean sheets in their last 15 games and that's not the kind of stats you need to take into a game against the high-scoring league champions. The Hammers end their season with a run of games against sides all in the top nine so they need a bit more work before saying they are safe from relegation.

Manchester City are just the 55 points clear of their opponents and only need a couple of goals to reach 100 for the season in the Premier League and 10 points from their final four games to reach a century. They have won their last four games against West Ham and scored 14 goals in the process including 5-0 and 4-0 wins here last season. They returned to form with a 5-0 beating of Swansea City and can continue that form here by winning and leading at both half and full time to increase West Ham's relegation worries.
