Manchester City vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
Manchester City will face West Ham with a lot of frustration. Last weekend there was a bitter 0-2 defeat at Tottenham, although the opponent was completely outnumbered and altogether failed three times directly to the box of the Brazilian keeper Ederson. It was the sixth drop in the season.
This corresponds to the combined number from the two previous seasons! At the same time, the gap between the Reds at the top of the table has grown to 22 points. The air is largely out of the Citizens.
To play more than the season as seriously as possible on a place for the Champions League is not to be identified as the remaining goal of the season. West Ham is a highly motivated opponent. The Hammers have to score points because they are in the middle of a relegation battle.
Even with the formerly untouchable champion, they will play bravely, especially since the home side has long lost the nimbus of invincibility. In the encounter between Manchester City and West Ham, the prognosis includes a double goal celebration.
The prediction is supported by the fact that the Sky Blues have not achieved a clean sheet in two thirds of previous home games in the Premier League. Only in his debut season 2016/17 did Pep Guardiola show an even lower value of 26 percent as a coach. Manchester City vs. West Ham forecast is alluded to with four units.
Manchester City:
Even if Jürgen Klopp does not bring his players back from the short winter break and instead continues to serve the Reds U23 team as they did recently in the FA Cup, City will not defend the title this season.
The Guardiola team has become too big for this endeavor. One reason for the mixed results is the personnel situation on the defensive. The long absence of the Frenchman Aymeric Laporte was a heavy mortgage.
The 25-year-old returned to the team on the penultimate matchday against Sheffield United, but apparently too early. Since then Laporte has been injured again. His fellow countryman Benjamin Mendy is also unavailable due to a wound.
To make matters worse, the Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko got a yellow-red card in the match against the Spurs, causing another defensive player to fail. In defense, the Spanish coach will therefore have to fall back on inexperienced players like Eric Garcia.
The coach’s compatriot has only played six league games in his career for Manchester and is of course still at the beginning of his career at 19. In the upcoming match, the reigning title holder is still the favorite. Eight out of twelve home games were won.
After Liverpool, the MCFC also has the second best home offensive. Sergio Aguero in particular presents itself reliably in the goal. The Argentinian was just one goal behind Jamie Vardy from Leicester in the scorer scoring.
So for him it’s still about personal success, which is why a committed appearance of the best scorer in the club’s history can still be expected.
In the match between Manchester City and West Ham, the odds for a double pack of Aguero are also linked to value in our eyes from this point of view.
Aguero is also traditionally well placed against the Hammers. This can be seen from his result of eight goals in 14 duels and hits in the last two comparisons.
West Ham:
West Ham has now slipped on a relegation zone. The Irons initially got hope again thanks to a 4-0 win on New Year’s Day against Bournemouth, but in the following five league games no threes succeeded.
With Liverpool and Leicester, the opposition in this review was sometimes very difficult. On the last matchday against Brighton, she proved that at least the offensive is still powerful.
With 3: 1 kickers from the East End were already in the front before the win with two late goals was handed over. Once again, the very shaky defense destroyed a victory.
With 43 goals, it has the third worst value, with Southampton still ranked behind United thanks to the epic 0: 9 against Leicester last October. If you take this game out, the only thing left is the bottom of the table from Norwich, which has so far been even more generous with its opponents on the lawn.
With the emigrated Austrian Marko Arnautovic and injured Brazilian Felipe Andersen, admittedly the two best scorers of the previous year are not available. The biggest problem, however, is the back team for the three-time FA Cup winner.
The last game was a good day at least for Robert Snodgrass. The Scotsman scored two hits and put another one on. After a long dry spell, previously no goal participation since the end of October, the shape curve of the addition of the best goal-getter and assist on the side of the hammer now points up again.
