Premier League, played Saturday, September 16th, 2023
Here is our West Ham v Man City tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Man City away win. Our confidence in this tip was moderate relative to other tips.
West Ham will be looking to extend their four-match unbeaten start to this new Premier League campaign on Saturday afternoon when they entertain the early league leaders, Manchester City, when the two sides meet at the London Stadium with both teams in promising early form.
West Ham have picked up three wins in their opening four games of this new term and the hosts started the season with a 1-1 draw down on the south coast at Bournemouth but The Hammers have got into gear by winning each of their subsequent three league matches with victories gained over Chelsea, Brighton and Luton Town respectively before the international break.
However, West Ham's impressive start to this new top flight campaign could come under very close scrutiny on Saturday when Pep Guardiola's side visit the nation's capital but David Moyes' side have won their last three home games on the trot in the Premier League which included wins towards the end of last season against Manchester United and Leeds United.
However, The Hammers have collected just nine wins from their last 23 home games at the London Stadium.
Manchester City have produced an explosive start out of the blocks in this new Premier League campaign as the title-holders have collected four wins on the trot to make an early statement to the rest of the division that they are once again the team to beat again this season.
Victories against Burnley, Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Fulham, the latter being a particularly heavy 5-1 defeat of The Cottagers at the Etihad Stadium saw City sign off in devastating form just before the international break and the visitors will be keen to pick up where they left off from this Saturday in the nation's capital.
Manchester City are currently head and shoulders above the rest of the division and such has been their dominance that City have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 21 matches overall in the Premier League, whilst also collecting no fewer than 18 wins in the process.
The Citizens have also lost just once in their previous 11 outings on the road and having also picked up eight wins along the way as well, Pep Guardiola's side look set to be in the driving seat once again when they face The Hammers.
West Ham v Manchester City Verdict
Both West Ham and Manchester City will be pleased with the impressive starts to their respective campaigns to date but this is not a good match-up here for West Ham as the hosts have managed to record just one win in their previous 19 meetings against Manchester City and this trend looks set to continue on Saturday too.
Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score No @ 2.05
Other side bets worth considering:
Manchester City win & Both Teams To Score No @ 2.62
Correct score: Manchester City 2-0 @ 9.00
