Some of betting predictions for Manchester United vs West Ham match are:
Manchester United vs West Ham Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Manchester United have been solid defensively conceding only two goals in their last seven games. West Ham too have conceded only four goals in their last seven matches hence we expect it to be a low scoring match. Therefore betting on total goals scored being less than 2.5 at odds of 1.87 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Bruno Fernandes was substituted early against Milan and will be leading United’s attack as he is their top scorer and assister this season. Therefore betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 2.15 (WilliamHill) is one of the best bets of the match.
Aaron Cresswell has been West Ham’s best player this season and one of the best defenders in league with 29 tackles in 27 games. He will be crucial in defense against United’s quick wingers, therefore betting on him to have over 1 tackle at odds of 1.91 (WilliamHill) is another good bet.
Quick Rich
We expect the match to be an even contest as Manchester United play their sixth game in seventeen days and West Ham have been in top form this season. However United have defeated West Ham twice this season in the league and the FA cup, hence betting on United to win 1-0 at odds of 7.00 (betway) gives high returns.
We expect it to be a low scoring match, but both teams have been strong in attack earning five corners per game this season in the league. West Ham have a strong aerial attack with Soucek, Antonio and Dawson and will try to attack from set pieces, therefore we suggest betting on a combination of less than 2.5 goals scored in the match and over 10.5 corners conceded at odds of 4.33 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
West Ham have struggled against top teams this season with losses against Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and United themselves over the past three months. Manchester United on the other hand have been impressive against the heavyweights of the league defeating Manchester City and Liverpool, hence we expect a United win at odds of 1.85 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Jarrod Bowen has started for West Ham in the big games and though he was rested last week, we expect him to start as a winger. Therefore if he starts the match, betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 5.80 (WilliamHill) is a bet you should not miss out on.
