Man City vs West Ham Prediction 19 May 2024

🔊Will Manchester City become the champions of England for the fourth time in a row, setting a record? We will get the answer to this question on May 19, when the “citizens” will meet with West Ham at their home Etihad Stadium. Guardiola's team has complete control over the situation, so they do not need to watch the concurrent meeting with Arsenal. If they win, the Sky Blues are guaranteed to take the gold medals.

Injuries and Suspensions
City has two possible losses, but both are very important. Ederson and De Bruyne were substituted during the last round match against Tottenham due to injuries. Their participation in the decisive game of the championship is questionable.

Phillips, who is on loan from Manchester City, will not be playing for West Ham. Also, since the end of April, Agerd and Mavropanos, important players in the center of defense, have been injured. But they can recover in time for the match.

H2H
West Ham is an extremely convenient opponent for City. The “Citizens” beat the “Hammers" in 5 of the last 6 Premier League matches. Considering how highly motivated Pep's team is, it makes sense to bet on their win.

You should also consider betting on a total of more than 2.5 goals, which was the total number of goals scored in 5 of the last 6 H2H meetings in the Premier League.

Trends

• A total of less than 4.5 goals have been scored in 6 of Manchester City's last 7 matches.
• West Ham have won with a handicap of +3.5 in 16 of their last 17 matches.

Fouls
Manchester City fouls the fewest times in the league (8.1 times on average per home game), which makes sense considering their dominant style of play. The indicator of 1.28 yellow cards per game also shows how rarely Pep's men are aggressive.

At the same time, West Ham also strives to become a role model in terms of discipline. A total of 10.28 fouls per away game serve as evidence of this. However, the Hammers often roughly kick opponents in the legs and disrupt dangerous counterattacks, so the yellow card score is not as low as they would like – 2.22 warnings per game. Based on the statistics, we propose to place a bet on West Ham's victory on yellow cards.

Corner

• Manchester City has won fewer than 7.5 corners in 5 consecutive Premier League matches.
• West Ham has won more than 1.5 corners in 13 of the last 15 matches.

It will be very difficult for the Hammers, but we believe that they will find their chances in attack, which will earn them a couple of corners. The bet on West Ham to win over 1.5 corners won in the last 3 matches at the Etihad Stadium.

Team Overview
Man City didn’t break down despite being knocked out of the Champions League. The team, on the contrary, concentrated more on the Premier League and confidently won the last 5 matches, conceding only in one of them. If we take into account all the competitions, the “citizens” did not allow the opponent to score in 5 of the last 6 games – an impressive feat.

West Ham broke a 4-match unbeaten streak in the last round by beating Luton (3-1). The Hammers have no tournament motivation, but there is another one – this is David Moyes' last match at the helm of the team. The players will undoubtedly give it their all in an effort to send the coach off in a positive way. The Londoners have hit more than 1.5 shots on target in 16 of the last 17 matches. They will probably disturb the City goalkeeper at least twice.

Scores24 Prediction for Manchester City vs West Ham
There will be a lot of pressure on City in this match, which may prevent the “Citizens" from achieving a confident victory. They beat West Ham on a regular basis, but with a difference of 4 goals, they did it for the last time in 2019. The Hammers have won 16 of the last 17 matches with a handicap of +3.5, so this is the option we will focus on.
