Football prediction Man City vs West Ham: Taking the top spot

At the end of round 34, Man City ranked second in the Premier League, 2 points behind Arsenal. However, they will officially take the number one position if they win one of the 2 make-up matches, the first of which is the confrontation with West Ham.

Man City's chances of winning 3 points are very high when they play at home. In the last 7 rounds at Etihad Stadium, Man City have won all. Their losers are strong teams such as Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle and especially Arsenal.

Man City's impressive run of form has been largely contributed by Earling Haaland's incredible scoring rate. The Norwegian striker has just reached 34 goals in the Premier League, equaling the record of scoring in a season held by two legends Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. The Man City striker still has many opportunities to improve his achievements.

Football prediction Man City vs West Ham: Taking the top spot - 1 — Haaland continues to show unstoppable form.

Not only Haaland, Man City also has many other strikers in good form such as Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish or Kevin De Bruyne. Man City's diverse and varied playing style helps them sweep away all opponents.

In the match against West Ham, Pep Guardiola will not have Kevin De Bruyne. However, Man City has many alternative options. The home team can completely use Julian Alvarez in the 2-striker formation.

Man City's opponents are also not highly rated. West Ham have only won 3 away games this season. West Ham's recent form has not been good enough to help them escape the risk of relegation. The visitors travel to the Etihad after losing two consecutive matches against Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

The Hammers' style of play has lost its dynamism. The players' fighting spirit has also been lost. As a result, they are now fighting for a place in the relegation zone when the gap to 18th place is only 4 points.
