Why bet on West Ham
The Hammers arrive after being undefeated during the first four rounds of the competition. So far, they have two wins (4-2 against Newcastle United and 4-1 against Leicester City) and two draws (2-2 with Crystal Palace and 0-0 against Southampton). In this scenario, the team coached by David Moyes is in eighth place with eight points. Matches involving West Ham have tended to be enthralling in recent times, with goals galore being the rule rather than the exception. In their last six meetings, a total of 20 goals have gone in for both teams combined, (averaging 3.33 goals per game) with 15 of them credited to West Ham.
Why bet on Manchester United
The Red Devils, meanwhile, made a positive start to the season and were also undefeated in the opening chapters of the competition. On the one hand, they beat Leeds United 5-1, Wolverhampton 1-0, and Newcastle United 4-1, with Ronaldo scoring twice on his new club debut. They also drew 1-1 with Southampton. As a result, they are one of the four leaders of the competition with 10 points. However, Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side suffered a setback at the start of their UEFA Champions League campaign. Last Tuesday, they lost 2-1 to Young Boys of Switzerland in an agonizing 2-1 defeat, despite a goal from CR7, in the opening match of Group F.
