Manchester United v West Ham Betting Preview – Premier League 27th November
Manchester United are probably banging their heads against a wall somewhere. It has been a tremendously frustrating run of form from them in the Premier League with a W1 D4 L1 record posted over their last six. They thought they had Arsenal beaten at Old Trafford last weekend, but a late goal from Olivier Giroud put paid to that. But then West Ham looked as if they had Tottenham on the ropes but then a brace from Harry Kane saw the Hammers slump to a dramatic late defeat. Not a great deal of confidence running around either of these at the moment and with draws between these at Old Trafford in the last two, will both be feeling more frustration?

Manchester United v West Ham Betting Tips
The Red Devils need to run with the confidence from Thursday night’s home win over Feyenoord in the UEFA Europa League and post a Premier League home win. The Red Devils haven’t done much of that lately with just one win in their last five league home games. Overall this season at Old Trafford in the top flight, Manchester United have won W2 D3 L1, not exactly the form of champions. But they are unbeaten in their last four there now, but each of the last three have been drawn. United have actually drawn four of their last six league outings now (W1 L1). In the correct score market with bookmaker Bet365 you have a price of 8/1 on a 1-1 draw. The joint-shortest priced options in the market are a Man Utd 1-0 and a Man Utd 2-0.
United do carry some great form at home against West Ham in the league. The Red Devils have lost just two of their last 23 league games against the Hammers at Old Trafford, winning 20 of those. That’s a pretty strong trend to run with and on top of that, Jose Mourinho has won seven of his last nine Premier League games against West Ham (D1 L1). So that’s all looking good for the Red Devils then heading into this one. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an 8/11 price in the anytime goalscorer market, with Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney at the 5/4 and 7/5 marks respectively. Rooney has 11 goals in his last 13 appearances against West Ham in all competitions. Untied do have only two clean sheets in their last nine games played in the top flight and both teams to score in this one is a price of 10/11 with Bet365.
West Ham showed some signs of revival through October, but that has fallen away with aw D1 L2 record in their last three. They almost got out of White Hart Lane last weekend with three points in the bag, but were denied by two very late Harry Kane goals to end up losing 3-2. That was a hammer blow for them and they have posted a shocking W1 L5 record out on the road this season in the Premier League. So they have been shipping goals out on the road then and they are a risk here. The last time they won at Old Trafford was back in 2007 so it’s been awhile and they aren’t carrying the away form to deliver. Michail Antonio is a 7/2 option in the anytime goalscorer market here, with Dimitri Payet and Andre Ayew at 9/2. West Ham have scored in 11 of their last 12 away games so can threaten.

Manchester United v West Ham Predictions
It is not as if punters can trust either of these wholeheartedly at the moment. Manchester United have won one of their last six league games and that’s a shockingly poor return from them. But there has been resilience there and that should just be enough to see them edge out the Irons. West Ham have lost their last two away from home and that was a hammer blow against Spurs for them last weekend. Look for Manchester United to edge this one in a game which goes over 2.5 goals. Look for both teams to score.
