Manchester City Betting Preview

Manchester City have looked good in the first two games and they have confidence right now. In the first game against Chelsea they won 2-0 and in the last game against Ipswich Town they were able to secure the 4-1 victory. Erling Haaland had a strong game scoring three goals. Manchester City had 76 percent of the possession and five shots on target. Oscar Bobb underwent surgery and is going to be out for a couple of months. Kyle Walker could start on defense here, and if he does play, they are going to need him to be impressive. 

West Ham United Betting Preview

West Ham United have won two straight and have confidence. In the first game of the season against Aston Villa, they lost 2-1 but since that point they have won two straight games. Against Crystal Palace they were able to secure the 2-0 victory and in the last game against EFL Cup against AFC Bournemouth they were able to secure the 1-0 victory. Jarrod Bowen scored in the 88th minute to secure the win. They had 48 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Aaron Cresswell is dealing with a hamstring injury and it’s unclear how he’s going to be out for. In this game if West Ham United is going to find success they are going to need the defense to step up in a big way. 

West Ham United vs Manchester City Prediction

This game is going to be high scoring. Manchester City is going to have no issue against West Ham United defense. Manchester City will score three or four goals. I do think Manchester City’s defense is going to struggle a bit though and they will give up a goal or two. This game is going to be an ugly game for the defense and this game is going to end up over the total. Back the over to cash.
