Why Bet on West Ham?

Last season West Ham fought relegation, but this time they want to mark a historic year at Premier League level, to confirm that winning the Conference League last season was no fluke. 

In their last game, the Hammers beat newly promoted Luton Town 2-1 away, thanks to goals from defender Kourt Zouma and winger Jarred Bowen. Precisely, the skillful Bowen has been the great figure of the team so far, scoring three goals and delivering an assist.

The Londoners have 10 points and are fourth, with the same units as Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal, but with a goal difference of +5. 

Their four goals against make David Moyes’ side one of the best defenses so far in the Premier League, which indicates that the duo of Zouma and Naif Aguerd has complemented in a great way with defensive midfielder Edson Álvarez, who arrived as a replacement for Declan Rice.

Midfielder Tomas Soucek and defender Konstantinos Mavropanos are possible absentees for the Hammers for this match.

Why Bet on Manchester City?

12 points out of a possible 12, that is the record of Manchester City, which continues to be the machine of last season, thus being the leader of the English competition.

The Citizens beat Fulham 5-1 on the last matchday, thanks to a hat-trick by Erling Haaland, who is currently the top scorer in the Premier League with six goals. The 11 conversions in favor make Pep Guardiola’s team the second-best offense, only surpassed by Brighton’s 12.

Another piece of good news for Manchester City is that its manager, Guardiola, will be able to return to the pitch, as he has recovered from a back operation.

Defender John Stones and midfielder Kevin De Bruyne are the players who are out due to injuries.
