Who has a better chance of winning today and what are the best bets to make? – the answer is in our expert’s forecast
Command Analysis
West Ham United
EnglandCurrent form
West Ham are approaching the upcoming home match in 16th place in the league table, having scored only eight points. This is clearly not the result the team was counting on when they invited Julen Lopetegui to the post of head coach and significantly strengthened the squad. The Spaniard is expected to play more brilliantly in attack, first of all. So far we have seen closed football, where the emphasis is on defense, but this does not bring success.
There is no stability or pattern in https://www.whufc.com target=_blank rel=noopener>West Ham results. After a great 4-1 home win over Ipswich, they won 4-1 against Tottenham, but this time in their opponent favor. That match was full of passions, there was a fight, as a result of which Mohammed Kudus received a red card and will not play today. As for the game with Spurs, we note that there was a good start, the same Kudus scored the first goal in the 18th minute. Then the opponent completely seized the initiative and brought the matter to a crushing victory.
In general, it is worth noting that the Hammers fail in matches against top opponents. In addition to the defeat against Spurs, there was also 0:3 against Chelsea, 1:5 against Liverpool in the League Cup, 1:3 against Manchester City.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kudus will not play due to disqualification. Fullkrug is still injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- West Ham have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches
- In five of the Hammers' previous six Premier League matches, both teams have scored goals

Probable line-up : Areola - Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson - Rodriguez, Soucek - Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville - Antonio.
Manchester United
EnglandCurrent form
Like their upcoming opponent, Manchester United are performing far below expectations and forecasts, with Erik ten Hag seat increasingly wobbly. The Mancunians have only scored 11 points in eight rounds and are far from the European Cup zone. At the same time, three rounds have already passed in the Europa League, and the Red Devils have not won a single game - all three matches ended in a draw. Including the match in Istanbul this week with Fenerbahce (1:1), although they opened the scoring first. In the LE table, Manchester United are in 21st place with three points. The team winless streak in European Cups has reached six matches, which has not happened since 1983.
In the Premier League, the Red Devils managed to break a three-game winless streak last round. They beat Brentford 2-1 at home, and had to fight back after the opponents were leading after the first half.
It should be noted that the Mancunians have only lost to Brighton away from home in the Premier League. In the following three away matches there was one win and two draws. There is no point in talking about any progress yet. In the last seven matches in all tournaments, Manchester United have only one win.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yoro, Malasia, Maguire, Mainoo, Anthony, Shaw and Mount will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester United have won in the first half only once in their last five matches
- Five of the Red Devils' previous six Premier League games have seen at least one team fail to score
- Manchester United went into the second half unbeaten in five away league games
Tentative line-up : Onana - Mazraoui, Martinez, Lindelof, Dalot - Eriksen, Casemiro - Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho - Højlund.

In the last seven matches in all tournaments, Manchester United have won only one victory, and there is no progress in the team play. Nevertheless, bookmakers give the visitors an advantage in the upcoming meeting. Of course, West Ham is also far from the peak of form, but on their home field in a single match, the Londoners are ready to play at their maximum. In addition, they defeated the Red Devils at home in the previous two face-to-face matches. Plus, the Mancunians had a difficult trip to Istanbul this week, while the opponent was calmly preparing for the upcoming meeting. We believe that, given the odds, it is worth betting on the hosts.
Our prediction is a West Ham win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.20
Bet on total
Julen Lopetegui is clearly betting on defense, Manchester United regularly have problems converting moments in attack. In addition, in the last ten head-to-head matches, only once more than three goals were scored. We do not expect a productive game today.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.97
Bet on the first half
West Ham have not lost in the first half in three of their previous four matches. The Londoners will obviously try to establish an advantage and take control of the game today at home. We believe that the hosts will at least not lose in the opening 45 minutes.
Prediction: West Ham will not lose in the first half with odds of 1.44
