The London team of West Ham will host Manchester City at its home ground within the 23rd round of the EPL. Despite the field factor and West Ham’s pretty good shape recently, bookmakers reckon, that the Hammers have very little chances on a positive outcome in the upcoming encounter, but one can argue with such line of the “all-knowing”.
West Ham by their squad is a team of the top ten and after the victory over Middlesborough, the Hammers have finally managed to rise into the top ten of the EPL’s tournament table. West Ham currently have 28 points in the asset, the same as in Stoke City, four points more, than in West Bromwich and eight points more, than in Everton. The seventh place is the team’s goal, as this position can possibly mean the Eurocups. West Ham have had 11 domestic matches within EPL this season, in which they got five victories with two draws and four defeats.
Manchester City in their turn, do not really make their fans happy in the EPL recently. Guardiola’s team lost twice in two previous matches of the English championship. They lost miserably 0:4 against Everton and did not manage to hold the victory in a match against Tottenham, while winning 2:0. However, in the English Cup, the Eagles of Manchester devastated the Eagles of London with the score of 0:3. Manchester City have 43 points in the asset and the fifth position in peloton ahead of the forthcoming game.
West Ham have gained some decent shape recently in terms football quality, therefore one may not doubt, that Slaven Bilic’s men will fight hard against Manchester City in the upcoming match and maybe even gain some points.
Prediction for the match: West Ham to win with +1.5 Asian handicap.
