Manchester United v West Ham Betting Tips
So it is a quick rematch for these two after fighting it out for a league draw at Old Trafford on the weekend. Manchester United really didn’t do a lot wrong, but they still couldn’t find the killer touch to put the Hammers to bed. So there will still be questions about them. The Red Devils have a great run of unbeaten form going at Old Trafford though against the Hammers and they do still look in good stead for this one. A little more composure and perhaps luck in front of goal and they should have romped to three points on the weekend. You can look for another both teams to score wager for a price of 10/11 at William Hill for this one and this one to actually go over 2.5 goals is running at a strong odds on price of 4/6 with Hills as well.
Up in the anytime goalscorer market for the game Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has found his shooting boots again is a 4/5 shot to score, followed by Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney at the 5/4 price. The last two at Old Trafford now between these two have ended in a 1-1 draw which is up at a price of 8/1 at William Hill. The last three between Manchester united and West Ham at Old Trafford have now been drawn. The Red Devils have won just one of their last six against West Ham in all competitions now (W1 D4 L1) so it has been pretty tight across the board. They didn’t do a lot wrong on Sunday really but were left frustrated. The key thing to probably take away from all of that is that they were on top so much that it is likely that they will go out and make amends for their dropped points.
West Ham will have seen Manchester United draw three of their last four home games and fancy their chances of sneaking something though. They were lucky and an inspired performance from Darren Randolph between the sticks kept them in it at times. Diafra Sakho got their goal on the weekend and he is a price of 3/1 in the anytime goalscorer market for this one with Michail Antonio at 72 and Andre Ayew at 3/1. The Hammers have produced a pretty shocking record out on the road this season, which makes the point at Old Trafford on the weekend even more surprising. They have gone W1 D2 L6 out on the road in all competitions and their defence has been far from watertight. Of the four league defeats that they have suffered for example this season, four of them have been by two goals margins. It’s been a long time since they enjoyed success at Old Trafford, not since 2007 have they won there. It would be a bigger shock than the point they got on the weekend if they won this one.

Manchester United v West Ham Predictions
It should be the night for Manchester United to make amends for their misfire on the weekend. West Ham have been very poor out on the road in terms of results and based on that shouldn’t stand too much of a chance at Old Trafford. They really should have been beaten off the park on Sunday and it is likely that the Red Devils will make much lighter work of this one as the Irons aren’t likely to last 90 minutes again. Home win and look over 2.5 goals for this go around.
