Manchester City is under pressure early in the season, as the Skyblues season started off anything but good. Nevertheless, the bookmakers are optimistic about the near future, because, before the game West Ham vs. Manchester City, the odds suggest that the guest team of coach Guardiola is the favourite.
In the Premier League table, however, this is not yet apparent. Surprisingly, West Ham even stands in front of the guests. For the first time since March 2009, this is the case before a direct duel. So one can definitely speak of a special feature.
West Ham – Statistics & Current Form
West Ham was often ridiculed last season. This was not without reason, because once again the great ambitions could not be translated into action. However, there has been a noticeable development in the last few weeks. And that both on the pitch and with the results.
In the last three games in the league, West Ham scored a total of ten goals. That was enough for seven points. The reaction to the 3-0 deficit at Tottenham Hotspurs is particularly impressive, as the team of coach Moyes caught up with this result and secured a point with the 3: 3 shortly before the end.
West Ham is unpredictable upfront, but vulnerable defensively under pressure. Therefore, before the game West Ham vs. Manchester City our prediction that both teams will score in this game.
West Ham wants to surprise Manchester City
With a lot of tailwinds, West Ham challenges the favourites. However, the Citizens are something of a feared opponent, the last nine duels all went to Manchester City. Before the duel, West Ham vs. Manchester City’s betting odds suggests that this will also be the case on the sixth day of the new season.
West Ham’s style of play is very uncomfortable. There is a lot of flanking, which is also underpinned by the fact that ten out of eleven goals this season have been scored from within the penalty area. In addition, a strong 27% of the club’s crosses come from London, which is a very good value.
The hosts also know that Manchester City itself is vulnerable when pressure is applied. Like West Ham, the guests have already conceded seven goals. Therefore, before the game West Ham vs. Manchester City our prediction that both teams will each concede a goal in this game.
The probable lineup of West Ham:
↳ Fabianski – Coufal, Ogbonna, Balbuena, Cresswell, Masuaku – Soucek, Rice, Lanzini, Fornals – Antonio

Manchester City – Statistics & Current Form
Manchester City wanted to win the Premier League title this season. So far, the club of coach Guardiola is one of many top teams that has already weakened. Of course, some statistics of the Skyblues read very well, over 600 passes are played on average, the pass accuracy is a little over 87%.
The Guardiola system continues to work in terms of ball possession, but no overwhelming dominance is recognizable from minute one. On the contrary: Manchester City only scored one league goal in the first half!
But the trend is pointing upwards. They won against Arsenal 1-0, in the Champions League, there was a 3-1 win against FC Porto. This increase in the form in connection with individual superiority ensures that before the game West Ham vs. Manchester City’s odds clearly speak for a win of the guests.
Manchester City arrives with injury concerns
It is also astonishing that Manchester City only played to zero in one of five competitive games. Even if two new central defenders have been signed, the team still has to find each other defensively. The Guardiola team have not yet defended well over 90 minutes.
Before the game, West Ham vs. Manchester City is also our tip that both teams will score at least once. In terms of staff, the guests are currently not looking particularly good. Gabriel Jesus and de Bruyne are absent on the offensive, while Laporte and Mandy have to watch defensively. To make matters worse, Fernandinho was injured in the Champions League. So the worry lines on Pep Guardiola’s forehead are getting bigger.
The rotating machinery can accordingly only be driven to a limited extent. It also means that freshness may be missing. This is also a factor that can lead to lack of concentration and mistakes.
The probable lineup of Manchester City:
↳ Ederson – Walker, Ruben Dias, Stones, Cancelo – Rodrigo, Gündogan, Foden, Bernardo, Sterling – Agüero
