Manchester United vs West Ham – Premier League Betting Tips

Manchester United welcomes West Ham to Old Trafford for their tussle on who will get into the Champions League Positions. Although West Ham is currently sitting 4th at the table, that is a temporary position since the teams below them have outstanding matches to play. 

Manchester United looks shaky but better than they were before. In their last 6 matches, they avoided a defeat in 4 matches, though they lost their 2-0 lead against Aston Villa, and that shows that some problems still abound in the team.  

Both teams are of similar strength at this point, though Man United performances this season have been shaky for much of the campaign, even with a new coach. Here are our tips for this game and the team news:

Manchester United Form and Team News

Manchester United has been having unconvincing performances even though they are didn’t lose 4 games in a row in their last 6 EPL games. Against Aston Villa and Brentford, there were worrying signs in both their attack and defense department. Brentford wasn’t much of a test, but West Ham is and will be a pain for this United team. 

Manchester United still sits outside the top 4 after 21 games played and scored less than West Ham even after boasting a more potent attacking lineup than West Ham.  

For the team news, Manchester United will be without some first-team players: Paul Pogba, Ronaldo, and Martial. 

West Ham Form and Team News

Our Tipsters Angle

Both Manchester United is currently having a season below what is expected of them while West Ham exceeds expectations and is challenging for the UCL spots. Even though Manchester United has been in poor form, they know they need to start saving their season to play in the UCL or UEL next season. 

West Ham is looking serious and eyeing the UCL spots, which is what makes this match intriguing. Also, they are known to gun down big teams as they have done to Chelsea, Liverpool, and Man City. 

Here are our tips for this match:

Tip 1:  West Ham + 2 Goals Handicap

West Ham has been fine form in recent games, and the matches they have lost have been close calls. In their last 10 games in all competitions, they have lost 4 times, and only once (against Arsenal) did they lose by 2 goals without reply. 

Also, Checking their H2H, in their last 10 games vs. Manchester United, they have lost by 2+ goals without only onc, whichat was in the 1-3 loss in 2020. 

The nature of this match indicates that this would be a closely fought battle, but to stay safe, we think West Ham +2 goals Handicap is a good call. 

At the Casumo Bookie, West Ham +2 goals hanidcap is available at 1.27 odds.

Tip 2:  West Ham to Score

West Ham has been great going forward in their recent matches. They have managed to score in their last 7 games in all competitions. Also, against Liverpool and Chelsea – teams with sturdier defensive setups, they have found the net. 

Manchester United bought some players to boost their defensive setup, but things haven’t worked for them. In their last 5 matches in all competitions, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 4, and against West Ham, we think a similar outcome is expected. 

For West Ham to Score, the market option is available at the Casumo Sportsbook for 1.36 odds.

Conclusion

This game will surely be a cracker as West Ham will be looking to exploit the weak Manchester United defense. They know that if they win this match, it will serve as a boost for them to secure a UCL or UEL qualification. 

Manchester United also knows what is at stake here, but they have been unconvincing in most of their matches. Whichever the final scoreline of this match would be, we think we will be treated to a fascinating match.
