Manchester City v West Ham Betting Preview – Premier League 28th August
The Citizens may not have kept a clean sheet in the top flight yet this season, but that has been covered up by their strong attack. Sergio Aguero has gotten himself off to a flyer and with them taking on a susceptible West Ham defence, there should be a big three points on offer for the home side here. West Ham lost out against Astra in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night and need a quick turn around to get themselves into gear for this tough Premier League match up. All the form in the head to head for this fixture is with the Citizens though, despite losing their home match against the Irons last term.

Manchester City v West Ham Betting Tips
Well Manchester City look like a bit of a banker in this one, despite losing this corresponding fixture last season. There seems little risk of that happening gains to them. They have made a positive start to life under Pep Guardiola and have a 100% record from their opening two Premier League fixtures. The surprise is that they haven’t kept a clean sheet yet and that is something which still has to be worked on, but that may tempt punters to look at Both Teams To Score in the match for a price of 10/11 with online betting site Bet365. When you are talking about goals from Manchester City there is only one man who is going to come into the picture and that is of course Sergio Aguero. He has been on fire in the early stages of the season, netting three league goals in two games and European hattrick as well. Aguero is up at a quote of 5/2 in the first goalscorer market for the game while he can also be backed in the anytime goalscorer market at a quote of 8/15.
The Citizens have a good record running against West Ham, having won eight of their last ten against the Irons (D1 L1), so everything is in good shape there really. It’s hard not to talk about Sergio Aguero a lot and he does have great form against West Ham as well. In his last seven Premier League against the Irons, he has scored six goals and assisted two others. Manchester City have only ever lost two home games in their Premier League history against the Hammers (W11 D2 L2) so a fantastic record there as well and they don’t look as if they are going to be tripped up here. As a club manager Pep Guardiola has only ever lost eight of his 128 top-flight home league matches in a phenomenal record, winning 110 of those home fixtures. The don’t look at risk in this one at all really and the game going over 2.5 goals will fetch you a price of 1/2. They have netted eleven goals in total in their last four home games against the Hammers anyway.
West Ham failed to make it the group stage of the UEFA Europa League in midweek as they lost at home against Astra. That was a massive financial blow to the Hammers and a knock in their confidence, but frankly they just didn’t turn up and play. They looked pretty lifeless. West Ham have not looked settled or convincing at the back this season and that has led them to a ropey W2 D1 L3 record in their last six matches in all competitions. West Ham have kept just two clean sheets in their last six games played and will therefore likely struggle against the Citizens who have plenty of punch up top. The Irons though have scored a goal in each of their last 15 top flight games but they are running with injury issues at the moment which is not helping them and Enner Valencia is a 3/1 shot in the anytime goalscorer market for them. This may not be a good afternoon for them at the Etihad.

Manchester City v West Ham Predictions
West Ham look very vulnerable here for this trip to Man City. The Irons were dealt a confidence blow on Thursday night and with their injury issues up front, may not have too much to trouble the Citizens with. Look for a comfortable home win at the end of the day and the match is likely to go over 2.5 goals. City to win to nil may be worth a flutter given West Ham’s injury list.
