West Ham United vs Manchester United Preview
West Ham United
Under Julen Lopetegui, West Ham’s struggles have continued, sitting 15th in the table with eight points. In the previous round, the Hammers faced Tottenham and were thrashed 4-1 despite scoring first. West Ham left too much free space in the back and the Spurs effectively exploited these areas.
West Ham’s overall gameplay has been underwhelming this season. While the Hammers have many high-profile players, Lopetegui struggled to instill his philosophy, and the team conceded in nearly every match.

When discussing West Ham’s weaknesses, we should note the poor conversion of goalscoring chances. Moreover, there is often a disconnect between midfield and attack, leaving them vulnerable to counterattacks.
| Recent Form | LWDLL |
| Key Players to Watch | Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Aaron Wan-Bissaka |
| Team Strengths | Strong midfielders, fast attacks |
| Team Weaknesses | Unreliable defence |

Manchester United
Following the massive criticism of Erik ten Hang, the Red Devils secured a much-needed victory against Brentford in the previous EPL round. After conceding in the final minutes of the first half, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund secured the win for United.
In the Europa League, United faced Fenerbahçe and settled for a point. Andre Onana helped the team with several remarkable saves, but it was not enough to clinch a victory.

Erik ten Hag’s position remains precarious, with the Dutch manager reportedly at risk of being sacked if poor results continue. He has failed to live up to the expectations and Ruben Amorim is considered a possible replacement, heightening the pressure on Ten Hag to deliver results.

West Ham United vs Manchester United Player Focus
In light of both teams’ recent form, standout players are limited. For West Ham, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen are key offensive figures. Kudus’s form has sharply declined compared to last season, but he remains a threat in attack. Bowen continues to play a crucial role, adding pace and creativity to the Hammers’ forward line.

On the other hand, Andre Onana has been a standout player for Manchester United so far. He has made crucial saves and salvaged important points. Christian Eriksen also poses a danger, having recently scored against Fenerbahçe. He will look to influence the game against West Ham with his vision and ball distribution.
Bet hereWest Ham United vs Manchester United Tactical Analysis
Under Julen Lopetegui, West Ham have been playing with a 4-1-4-1 formation, sometimes alternating with 4-2-3-1. The Spanish manager values the midfield and fast wingers.
For Manchester United, Erik ten Hag adopts a 4-2-3-1 formation. In this system, the Red Devils usually play with a sole forward, and the central midfielders are vital for distributing the ball. We don’t expect any tactical changes from both sides in the upcoming encounter.
West Ham United vs Manchester United Prediction
- Football pick: West Ham or Draw
- Odds: 1.55 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: West Ham United 2-1 Manchester United
Manchester United have lost the previous two H2H matches at London Stadium in recent years. While neither of the sides can boast of impressive form, we give West Ham a slight edge considering they are playing at home.
At the same time, the Red Devils are inconsistent on the road. Their only win came against a struggling Southampton so far, while they looked lacklustre in other games.

After losing to Tottenham, West Ham will play with huge determination in front of their fans. Manchester have a handful of absentees and it seems unlikely they will push for a win. Our betting tip for this game is West Ham or a draw.
West Ham United vs Manchester United Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.42(22Bet)
Both West Ham and Manchester United have struggled with defensive reliability this season. They allow a lot of simple mistakes in the back, even conceding goals against lower-tier opponents.
Manchester United will be eager to push forward and secure a win, but this aggressive approach may leave gaps in their defense. West Ham, on the other hand, have fast wingers who will probably take advantage of that strategy.

Given West Ham’s record of 15 goals conceded so far in the Premier League and Manchester United’s defensive lapses, a goal-filled match with over 2.5 goals is anticipated.
