Premier League, played Sunday, May 19th, 2024
Here is our Man City v West Ham 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, over 2.5 goals, and a Man City home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
All eyes will be on this upcoming clash at the Etihad Stadium between Manchester City and West Ham as the hosts look to record a fourth Premier League title and only West Ham stand between Pep Guardiola's side and another City triumph on Sunday afternoon with Manchester City looking to collect a ninth league win on the trot, while West Ham will seek back-to-back wins to finish their season on a positive note following last weekend's 3-1 home win against Luton Town.
Whilst occupying top spot in the Premier League table and holding a two-point lead over Arsenal heading into this final game of the season, Manchester City appear to sit in pole position to secure another league title at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday and having won their last three home games on the trot, Pep Guardiola's side will be well up for this encounter.
Victories against Aston Villa, Luton Town and Wolves in 4-1, 5-1 and 5-1 wins respectively have not only assisted City to reduce the points deficit between themselves and Arsenal but they have now overtaken The Gunners and are just 90 minutes away from causing the north London side another title heartbreak.
Manchester City still remain unbeaten at home in this season's campaign, picking up 13 wins and five draws to date this term.
West Ham halted a dismal looking four-match winless run in the Premier League last weekend when David Moyes' side registered a welcome 3-1 home win against Luton Town but the visitors face an irresistible looking Manchester City outfit here at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
West Ham had previously slumped to recent defeats at the hands of Fulham, Crystal Palace and Chelsea respectively which doesn't bode well for this upcoming trip to face a dominant Manchester City outfit in their own backyard, while the bigger picture shows The Hammers have managed to collect just two wins out of their last 10 league matches.
An earlier 2-1 win away from home at Wolves has been West Ham's only other highlight during this 10-game period but this run also includes four defeats along with a pretty ordinary sequence of results on the road as well.
David Moyes' side have registered just two away wins in their last eight outings on their travels but the east London club have also succumbed to five losses on the road as well in recent times, suffering defeats at the hands of Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Chelsea respectively.
Manchester City v West Ham Verdict
Manchester City have won four out of the previous five meetings against West Ham and with the finish line now in sight and firmly in their own hands, City are expected to be crowned Premier League champions with a win here.
Therefore, our main bet will be Man City win & Over 3 goals @ 1.57
