Command Analysis
West Ham United
EnglandCurrent form
In the off-season, West Ham significantly strengthened their squad, with Julen Lopetegui appointed as head coach. The first official match under his leadership was unsuccessful. A 1:2 defeat to Aston Villa was recorded in the opening round of the Premier League, although the Londoners played for a draw overall.
In the second round https://www.whufc.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, West Ham played in the London derby with Crystal Palace and deservedly earned three points (2:0). The team played quite pragmatically, the opponent had more possession of the ball, but Lopetegui's charges clearly realized their chances - two out of three shots on target were accurate. With three points scored, the team is in the middle of the table in ninth place.

Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
Manchester City's preparation for the season was crumpled because Josep Guardiola could not count on all of his players. The Spanish specialist gave rest to the players who were actively involved in their national teams. So far, they have managed to achieve maximum results, but in terms of play, the Citizens are still far from their optimal form, first of all, they lack speed in developing attacks.
At the start of the season, Manchester City won the Super Cup trophy, beating Manchester United in a penalty shootout. Then, in the first round of the Premier League, they managed to win with a clean 2:0 against Chelsea. In the second round, we finally saw the full force of the Citizens' attack in the confrontation with Ipswich (4:1). Haaland scored a hat-trick, and De Bruyne scored another goal. With six points, the current champion leads the standings due to a better goal difference compared to their competitors.

2.18Tip and bets
West Ham are playing poorly against Manchester City, having lost four matches in a row. However, it should be noted that in the two previous face-to-face encounters the opponents exchanged goals. Now the Hammers have significantly strengthened their squad, have not been without their own goals in two rounds and are unlikely to leave the opponent "dry". At the same time, it is unlikely that they will be able to contain the powerful attack line of the Citizens. We believe that the best option for a bet would be an exchange of goals.
Our prediction is both teams to score at odds of 1.71
Bet on the outcome
Manchester City is gradually improving from match to match. Holland is doing well, having spent a full preparation for the season with the team and started scoring straight away, and the rest are catching up. West Ham are playing poorly against the Citizens, as the updated squad has not yet fully gelled. We believe that the favourites will confidently earn three points.
The second bet is Manchester City to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) with odds of 2.10
Bet on the first half
We expect in the betting tip that Manchester City will show its advantage already at the start. In the two previous matches, the Citizens won by the end of the first 45 minutes, which we expect this time too.
Prediction: Manchester City win in the first half with odds of 1.82
