Manchester United vs West Ham United Best odds and tips

Manchester United have 39 points from 35 games, leaving them 15th in the Premier League 2024/2025 standings, while West Ham United are just two points behind in 17th. The hosts have won one and lost one of their last two home games, while West Ham United have lost both of their last two away games, suggesting that the bookies have it right in making United the 2.02 favourites for this clash, with West Ham at 4.00 and the draw at 3.85. Ruben Amorim has been the man in charge of the Red Devils since November 2024 and has brought a degree of structure and tactical consistency to the side since his appointment. United build up in a 4-3-3 system, using the width of the pitch to their advantage and looking to control games with a methodical approach and moderate pressing. Bruno Fernandes is United’s main man with eight goals in 33 Premier League 2024/2025 appearances, while Manuel Ugarte has been their creative spark in recent weeks, providing four assists in the Red Devils’ five-game scoring streak.

Graham Potter has been in charge of the Hammers since January 2025 and has implemented a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 system, with a compact setup and quick transitions making them difficult to break down at times. Jarrod Bowen is the danger man for the visitors with 10 goals in 31 Premier League 2024/2025 appearances, three of which have come in West Ham’s last six games. Potter’s tweaks have made West Ham a tough nut to crack but they are still struggling for consistency and come into this clash on a run of five games without a win (D3, L2).

West Ham United have scored just 18 goals away from home in Premier League 2024/2025 (1.06 per-game) and they will be content to sit deep and try to catch United out on the counter here. United have scored 1.24 goals per-game and conceded 1.53 goals per-game at home in Premier League 2024/2025, so both teams to score looks a good value alternative bet in this tight relegation scrap. The hosts have won six, drawn three and lost eight of their 17 home games in Premier League 2024/2025 and have been a little more consistent since Amorim’s appointment, but they have a lot to do to take all three points here.
