Manchester City vs West Ham Prediction 19.05.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 19.05.2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
• Venue: Etihad Stadium (Manchester)

The whole season for Manchester City comes down to this one match, the last round of the Premier League. After elimination in the 1/4 finals of the Champions League, the season would be marked as unsuccessful if Pep Guardiola's team does not win the English championship. City has an excellent situation, 1 point advantage over Arsenal, and in the last round they overcame the most difficult obstacle. Tottenham away. The reigning champion now has a clear situation to confirm the championship title at home.

The rival is again, as in the previous round, the club from London West Ham. They failed to repeat a good season like the previous one, when they qualified for the Europa League and had duels in the very final of that competition. There were a lot of fluctuations during this year, but also problems with injuries, so West Ham will finish the competition in 9th place, which is still a success in such a strong league with strong favorites.

Manchester City vs West Ham pick: OVER 3.5 GOALS

Citizens are still unbeaten at home this season and have won 6 previous matches in Manchester with 18 goals scored and only one goal conceded. The motive of the guests, who can neither go up nor down in the table, is questionable, and this match is just an ordinary prestige for them. Haaland got in good shape when it was most needed and it is very likely that he will close the season with a goal and maybe two.

We expect a convincing performance from the home team and a victory with more goal difference, so over 3.5 goals seems like a very good option for this match.
