West Ham vs Manchester City Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2024

West Ham enjoy home advantage, when visitors Manchester City swing by on Saturday for a clash in the Premier League. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

A glance at the Premier League table reveals that the current difference between the teams is three points and eight places.

West Ham enter this round three of the Premier League with three points in the bag, and they will be hoping to double that in the coming match.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both West Ham and Manchester City are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at London Stadium as the teams look to get one over each other.

West Ham only average a modest 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 14 goals. They also conceded 22 for an average of 2.2 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring one times.

The Citizens got the better of The Hammers in the last two h2h meetings, winning by 3-1 and 3-1, respectively.
