Manchester United - West Ham match score prediction: Not easy to bully the away team

(NLDO) - After the victory at Palace, Manchester United wants to continue the momentum at home against West Ham, an opponent that has caused them a lot of trouble recently.

After 3 consecutive matches without a win, Manchester United surprisingly regained their winning streak against Crystal Palace at the weekend and they are excited to beat the declining West Ham at Old Trafford in the latest match of round 14. The Manchester United - West Ham match will take place at 3:00 am on December 5 (Vietnam time).

Last season, West Ham beat Manchester United in both home and away matches, but the highlight was a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford - a feat for The Hammers that ended a 16-match winless streak at the Red Devils' stadium (3 draws and 13 losses).

West Ham are in decent form heading into this trip to Old Trafford, having only had their three-game unbeaten run ended by Liverpool on Sunday. Meanwhile, West Ham's opponents Manchester United are a slightly different team to last season: the Red Devils have lost just one of their last seven Premier League games (W4 D2), although that was a disappointing 1-0 defeat to 10-man Everton in their last home game.

Ruben Amorim's side once made Old Trafford look like a fortress, with four consecutive home wins before being knocked out by Everton, but Ruben Amorim has now lost nine of his 19 Premier League games at the stadium (W8 D2).

Another concern for Manchester United fans is the unlucky December when they lost 9 of 14 Premier League matches played in the final month of the year (won only 4 and drew 1), including the last 3 matches without scoring.

Whether Amorim's Manchester United can overcome their December misfortune remains to be seen, but most experts are backing them to win. Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson picked a 3-1 result, former manager Harry Redknapp predicted a 2-1 win for Manchester United, former striker Chris Sutton predicted 2-0, and former BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson believes in a narrow 1-0.

The match odds were very different from the start when the home team Manchester United conceded 1 and a half goals, winning 90 and losing 95. That was a strange ratio when the statistics company Opta realized that Manchester United had lost 4 of the last 5 matches against West Ham, more than the number of losses in the previous 26 meetings (won 19, drew 6 and lost 3).

Until last night, the odds were still 1 and a half, winning 97, losing 87. This afternoon, the price only moved up a little to win all, losing 85. It seems that being on the bottom is safer, because Man United is not sure to win West Ham.

The most popular score is 2-1 with a payout of 8, while 2-0 is 8.3, and 1-0 is 9.2. Draws also attract a lot of players, so the 1-1 score is only 9.2, while 2-2 is 15. West Ham's chances of winning are considered very low, with 1-2 paying 18, and 0-1 paying 21.
