The upcoming fixture, West Ham vs Manchester United, is scheduled for this Saturday.
Following a disheartening 5-1 loss against Liverpool in the EFL Carabao Cup, the Hammers will be motivated to bounce back as soon as possible.
A win in this game would not only boost their morale, but will also see West Ham leapfrogging United in the league table.
Predicting Manchester United’s performance under Erik ten Hag has been challenging this season. While the Red Devils have generally underperformed this year, their recent 0-0 draw against Liverpool showcased Manchester’s substantial defensive strengths.

West Ham vs Manchester United Prediction, Odds
- Pick: West Ham to Win or Draw
- Odds: -204 (Tonybet)
West Ham have been performing well on home turf under the leadership of David Moyes. The Hammers have been unbeaten in the previous six competitive matches, securing five wins and one draw. Additionally, they only suffered two losses in the past 10 games.
However, West Ham experienced significant difficulties in their away matches against Fulham and Liverpool, suffering heavy defeats with scores of 0-5 and 1-5 respectively. In these matches, Moyes’ team lacked defensive compactness, allowing their opponents ample space to exploit.
West Ham fans can only hope for a more organized and cohesive performance from the Hammers in their upcoming home game, especially considering the shortcomings displayed in the recent away match against Liverpool.
Manchester United has also found it challenging in recent away games, remaining winless in their last three outings on the road. With only 18 goals scored this season, their offensive output is one of the lower in the league, with only four teams having scored fewer goals.
Both Mohammed Kudus and Bowen are in perfect form. Bowen has been particularly impactful, scoring 10 goals and effectively filling the void left by Mike Antonio, who has not played since November 18.
Kudus, a summer transfer window acquisition from Ajax, also poses a significant threat to Manchester United, having found the net 5 times in the Premier League this season.

Given West Ham’s strong home performance and the current form of key players, it seems likely that West Ham United will be able to secure at least a draw in this upcoming encounter.
West Ham vs Manchester United Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -172 (Tonybet)
In the past five direct encounters between Manchester United and West Ham across all competitions, only one game saw more than 2.5 goals scored, when Manchester secured a 3-1 victory.
On the road, United have only scored eight goals in eight games, which is not something we expect from the Red Devils. Moreover, Rasmus Højlund is still seeking his first Premier League goal and has not yet fully integrated into the team’s dynamics.
Additionally, Erik ten Hag’s side is grappling with notable injury worries. Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Christian Eriksen, Harry Maguire, Mason Mount and Lisandro Martínez are all currently sidelined.

Similar to Liverpool’s game, it is anticipated that Manchester United will be cautious in their offensive efforts, likely avoiding full-force attacks.
West Ham have demonstrated strong defensive capabilities. Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd are some of the best center-backs this season, while Emerson and Vladimir Coufal have been effective in supporting both offensive and defensive plays.
