Premier League Match Predictions: West Ham United vs. Manchester United on September 19, 2021

The duels between West Ham and Manchester United have been nothing short of captivating in recent seasons. West Ham has been punching above their weight lately, eyeing an advantage over a United side that stumbled in their recent Champions League rendezvous. Man United, however, is arriving in London in remarkable league form, sitting at the top only on goal difference. Expect a tightly contested battle come Sunday at 2p.m, live on Sky Sports.

Team News/Form

West Ham has settled for draws in their last two matches. Following a 2-2 at home against Palace, they shared a 0-0 with Southampton. Nonetheless, they boast a seven-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League. Man United experienced their initial loss of the season last week, surprisingly falling 2-1 to Young Boys in Europe. Despite this, United maintains a stronger league presence and leads on goal difference after three victories from four outings. Key players missing include West Ham's Michail Antonio, and for United, Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles, Amad Diallo, and Marcus Rashford.

Matchwinner Odds

In the odds for this face-off, Manchester United is the clear frontrunner for a Sunday triumph. Particularly with their record of 28 unbeaten away streaks in the league, bookmakers like Novibet lean towards United with odds at 87/100. While West Ham isn't taken lightly, especially with their 14 out of 17 unbeaten home matches, Unibet backs them at 7/2 for a win. Nevertheless, our pick for this clash is a draw, considering United's tendency to draw six of their last eleven away matches, and West Ham's recent run of draws. Betfred Fans hoping to witness a goal fest won't be disappointed. United has already netted 12 goals in five matches this season, while West Ham has secured 10 in four. Defensive frailties persist as well, with neither team managing a clean sheet recently. Over 3.5 goals wager holds value with Mansion Bet at 10/19, though our preferred tip points to over 2.5 goals with Mansion Bet's odds at 5/7.

Under/Over

Without Michail Antonio, West Ham might miss firepower. However, stand-in stars like Pablo Fornals and Saïd Benrahma are ready to step up, each having scored twice this season. There's compelling value for bets on either player scoring against United, with Unibet favoring Benrahma at 23/5 and options of 6/1 for a Fornals goal. But the spotlight might well be on Cristiano Ronaldo, who’s already dazzling this season with three goals in two appearances. With odds of 97/100, he’s a strong candidate to score again.

Anytime Goalscorer
