LiontipsManchester City - West Ham: betting tip (cf 5.00) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
In November, Manchester City suffered two defeats in a row: in the Premier League from Newcastle (1:2) and in the Champions League from Bayer Leverkusen (0:2). Those failures clearly shook up the team and in the next six matches, taking into account all tournaments, there were no losses of points. The attack led by Holland deserves special attention in this winning segment: 18 goals scored.
Directly in the Premier League, Manchester City won four rounds in a row, took advantage of Arsenal's mistakes and reduced the gap to two points. In the last round, the townspeople confidently beat Crystal Palace 3-0 on the road, and Holland scored a double in that meeting.
Last week, Josep Guardiola's team made it to the semi-finals of the League Cup, beating Brentford (2-0). At the same time, the townspeople successfully compete in the Champions League, where after six rounds they take fourth place with 13 points and have excellent chances to get straight to the 1/8 finals. In the previous round, we managed to beat Real Madrid 2-1 on the road. This victory clearly demonstrated that Manchester City is now ready for great things, and the depth of the squad allows us to feel comfortable in all tournaments.

Current form
West Ham, after the appearance of Nuno Espirito Santo on the coaching bridge, managed to improve their game and results, but still cannot get out of the relegation zone. The Londoners have 13 points in the asset, the intermediate 18th place in the table with a gap of three points from the saving 17th line, which is occupied by Leeds.
In the last five matches, the Hammers have suffered only two defeats, but they have drawn in three meetings. Their last victory was on November 8, when they managed to beat the same outsider Burnley (2-1) at home. In the previous round, West Ham played Aston Villa in London, led twice, but failed in the second half and lost 2-3.
West Ham usually performs strongly on their own field. However, this season the Hammers are clearly playing below expectations at home, scoring only six points. At the same time, they have seven points on the road and an open series of three draws in a row. Trips to Manchester for the Etihad are unsuccessful for the Londoners: they have not scored a single point here in the Premier League since 2015.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabianski is injured, and Diouf and Van Bissaka are in the national team.
Interesting betting trends
- West Ham have not lost in the first half in five consecutive matches.
- In seven of the eight previous matches of the Hammers, there was an exchange of goals scored.
- On the road, West Ham have not won in the Premier League in six consecutive matches.
Approximate composition: Areola – Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman – Fernandes, Potts, Magassa – Paketa – Bowen, Summerville.

2.30Tip and bets
Manchester City has clearly reached the peak of its form. In principle, there have been no special questions about the attack since the beginning of the season, and now Holland is also confirming his high class. Another thing is that we finally managed to stabilize the defensive game, we no longer see unnecessary goals conceded in the endings, when the opponents constantly returned to the game. It is no coincidence that Guardiola's players scored three of the last four wins with a dry score, and they conceded the only goal in this segment from Real Madrid.
West Ham have undoubtedly made progress since the appointment of Nuno Santo as head coach, and they have managed to significantly improve their attack. At the same time, the Portuguese specialist, who was remembered for building excellent defense at Nottingham Forest, failed to adjust the game of the Londoners in defense, which could be seen from the match with Aston Villa the day before. West Ham have not scored points in Manchester since 2015, and it is unlikely that this series will be interrupted today, given the form the opponent is in at the moment.
Our betting tip is that Manchester City will win with an Asian handicap (-2) for a coefficient of 1.92
Bet on the total
When choosing a bet on goals, it is impossible not to note the tangible progress of Manchester City in defense. In three of the four previous matches, the townspeople did not miss, and only Real Madrid managed to hit their goal during this period. We do not think that the guests today will have many chances to open the defense of the hosts at least once.
The second bet is that West Ham will not score with a coefficient of 2.09
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Taking into account the tangible advantage in class and the powerful attack, Manchester City is able to achieve a comfortable victory today. The townspeople scored two of the last four victories with an accurate score of 3:0, which we do not exclude this time either.
Prediction – Manchester City will win with a three-goal advantage with a coefficient of 5.00
