Our Tipsters Angle

This match is certain to go either way because West Ham has already proven themselves to be giant slayers. They have won Liverpool and City in different competitions and don’t look like they’re scared to go against Man City. 

West Ham has a Europa League match on Thursday which might mean they might be tired against City when they clash on Sunday. However, City also played on Wednesday and this might still face a similar fate as West Ham.

In their last 5 matches in all competitions, Manchester City has won 3, drawn 1 and West Ham has won 1. Below, we have evaluated the team stats and strengths, and here is our prediction for this match:

Tip 1: West Ham +3 (3-Way Handicap) 

Manchester City has won all their last 4 meetings in EPL against West Ham and only 1 ended with City scoring 3+ goals and no reply from West Ham. The last 3 matches between these teams have seen 2-0, 1-1, and 1-0 scorelines and with the current West Ham EPL form, we think that West Ham +3 handicap is a good bet. 

 At the Casumo Sportsbook, West Ham +3 handicap is available at odds 1.32.

Tip 2: Both Teams to Score

The way Pep sets up his team makes it easy for them to find the net in almost every match and this is evident when you check their past results. They have scored 25 goals in the EPL alone with just Liverpool and Chelsea scoring more than them. 

West Ham on their own have scored 23 goals in the EPL this season and are EPL’s 4th top goal-scoring club this season after just 12 matches. We expect both teams to find the net against each other. 

Both teams to score is available for this match at Casumo at 1.80 odds and we think it is a good value for this match. 

Conclusion

This cracking match looks like it can have various results due to team strength, injuries, form, and past events. While it looks most likely a Man City win, we can’t ignore the threat that is posed by West Ham because they have already shown that they have what it takes to beat a big team this season.
