Will Man United’s winning streak against the Hammers continue?

Relegation fear meets Champions League hope – still, the odds from the best bookmakers for a West Ham vs Manchester United bet on the three-way market don’t turn out too clear. While the Hammers continue to need every point in the bottom of the table despite a better second half, Man United remain on course for the Champions League after 33 games played.

But there are still a few points up for grabs – and many a team has been caught out on the home stretch in the evenly matched English Premier League. That’s why Erik ten Hag’s team needs to stay focused and score again in the away game in London. Trips to England’s capital in particular have not often been crowned with success for the Red Devils in recent times – there has only been one win from the last eight away games against teams from London (1-3-4).

This is probably one of the reasons why the West Ham vs Manchester United prediction of the betting providers does not clearly side with Erik ten Hag’s eleven. However, the current form clearly speaks for Manchester. While the Red Devils showed mostly strong performances in the league in recent weeks, the Hammers lost the last three games in a row after a brief interim high.

West Ham – Statistics & current form

After a messed-up first half of the season, head coach David Moyes got the Hammers back on track in the second half. Recently, however, there were again three neck blows in a row – after the expected 0:3 defeat at Manchester City, it is now against the second team from Manchester within a week. While the Red Devils don’t have the class of their city rivals, the West Ham vs Manchester United odds still don’t swing in the Hammers’ direction.

Defensive gives Moyes a headache

It is the flood of goals conceded that is causing Moyes concern at the moment. With the exception of the strong performance in the smooth 4-0 away win at promoted Bournemouth, there have been eleven goals conceded in recent league games against Arsenal London, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Man City. However, since he can at least rely on his own offense for the most part, a West Ham vs Manchester United tip on more than two goals in the course of the game certainly has good chances of success. Because the opponent also brings a strong offense, but presents itself in the defense in recent weeks also anything but sattelfest.

The Red Devils are in danger of their fourth defeat in a row. In the last five direct duels, the Red Devils have lost to the record champions. In view of the gap to the relegation zone, however, West Ham urgently needs to score at home. Head coach David Moyes’ personal record against Man United is not exactly encouraging – he has now gone ten games without a win against the Red Devils (0-2-8). His last win as Everton coach was in 2012, and his record against the league’s top teams this season is anything but impressive. So the Hammers will have to stretch themselves mightily at home against Man United to get any points.

Manchester United – Statistics & current form

After the last four wins in the last five league games, there was a setback for the Red Devils in the catch-up game against Brighton during the week. Now it’s time for the ten Hag eleven to face the Hammers at the London Stadium, where Man United have won their last two away games. The last time the Hammers won three in a row was between 2009 and 2011, and West Ham vs. Manchester United odds show the English record holders as the favorites for the upcoming clash.

Red Devils remain on course for Champions League

The first season under new coach Erik ten Hag is drawing to a close – time to take stock at the English record champions. The first title of the season, the League Cup, has been wrapped up and the team has also reached the final of the FA Cup. In the championship, too, they are clearly on course for the Champions League. Only in the Europa League were they eliminated in the quarterfinals, once again against their fearsome opponents from Sevilla. However, the first season under ten Hag can definitely be considered a success.

Even though Man United is always good for the odd slip-up and is still far from being a real contender for the English Premier League championship due to its lack of consistency, the Red Devils have made significant progress in their play. In fact, there has only been one defeat in league home games.

In the away table, the English record champions are in fifth place, although their record here is more balanced (7-3-7). In addition, ten Hag’s team is far less hungry for goals at home than at Old Trafford and is also more vulnerable defensively. The negative goal difference of 21:32 after 17 away games speaks volumes here.

Against West Ham, Man United now face an opponent with whom they have a long winning streak. The Red Devils have won all of their last five matches against the Hammers. However, Man United have been susceptible to the odd away game in recent weeks. In addition, the Hammers have been somewhat stronger in recent weeks, at least in home games (1-2-2). Although the Hammers won only one of the last five home games, they also lost only twice. Therefore, it is probably better to refrain from a direct West Ham vs Manchester United bet on the away win in the three-way market.

West Ham – Manchester United tip

Both teams need the three points to get closer to their goals this season. Therefore, a duel with open sights can be expected, neither of the two teams is likely to hide in the upcoming clash. Also, the recent impressions of both teams underline that you could be successful with a West Ham vs Manchester United prediction on more than two goals in the course of the match this coming Sunday. That’s because while both teams’ offenses are running smoothly, defensively there is room for improvement for both teams.

The question of the winner of this match is already more difficult. West Ham are in desperate need of points in the bottom of the table, but have struggled to score trebles against the league’s top teams this season. Moreover, the Hammers have won only one of their last five matches. The Hammers have also mostly lost out against the Red Devils in the recent past.

Therefore, a West Ham vs Manchester United home win bet is probably not too realistic. The Red Devils won the last five games in a row against the Hammers. However, since the ten Hag eleven is also always up for a slip-up, we only give one West Ham vs Manchester United tip on the two-way market.
