West Ham vs Manchester United Prediction

West Ham Form

West Ham have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-2 by Liverpool, before Crystal Palace ran out 4-3 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Manchester City, who came out 3-0 winners. West Ham managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Premier League. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored ten and conceded ten goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for West Ham, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Manchester United Form

Manchester United were able to add four points to their account from their last three matches. They first shared the points in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, before claiming three points in a 1-0 win against Aston Villa. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton. Manchester United won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says 12 goals conceded and six scored.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Manchester United get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in West Ham.

In their previous 11 encounters with teams from the bottom six, Manchester United collected nine wins and 29 points. This is better than any other side in the Premier League this season, as they also scored 19 and conceded three goals. West Ham enjoy a record of nine wins, seven draws and 18 defeats in the Premier League this season. Manchester United show off 19 wins, six draws and eight defeats in the Premier League.
