West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Joseph King | in Premier League Prediction
West Ham and Manchester City close out the first matchday of the new Premier League campaign at the London Stadium in East London. West Ham labored a bit in the preseason, playing a total of seven matches but only managing a record of 2-4-1 against fairly low-level opposition. They’ll now have to contend with the favorites to win the Premier League crown in a Manchester City squad hoping to get their title charge started off on the right foot. Pep Guardiola has struggled at this ground however, last recording a win almost three years ago in August of 2019.

West Ham - Manchester City: Form Analysis
West Ham didn’t have the best of preseasons, managing only two wins from their six matchups. They will look towards their strong home performance in the previous season to propel them to a shock result here against the Premier League title betting favorites. Manchester City had a very limited preseason campaign, taking part in only two friendly matches before the Community Shield against Liverpool. With a couple of new faces in the team, Guardiola will hope the players can gel quickly and hit the ground running. Manchester City will be looking for a strong response after a 3-1 defeat in the club’s first trophy opportunity of the new season.

They also splashed the cash to sign Nayef Aguerd from French side Rennes for a fee of 30 million pounds.

Our West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction
We’re going to back West Ham on the +1.5 Asian Handicap as our bet for this match. This means that West Ham must avoid a two or more goal margin of defeat for our bet to cash. The Hammers have played City very close in their recent encounters, earning three draws in the last five meetings and keeping each match to within at least a goal margin. The atmosphere in the London Stadium should be electric with this being the season opener and West Ham enjoyed a solid home field advantage in the previous campaign and racked up a 9-5-5 record in front of the home fans. City likely squeeze by with a win but West Ham should be able to keep this to a 2-1 type of result.
West Ham vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions
