Manchester City v West Ham Premier League Betting Tips 19/05/2024

Manchester City are in pole position to win their fourth consecutive Premier League title, so we’ve created our Manchester City v West Ham Premier League Betting Tips. The Citizens have to beat visiting West Ham at the Etihad to retain their honour as Premier League winners. Pep Guardiola’s side come into the clash against the Hammers as the form team – unbeaten in 22 league matches. West Ham head to Manchester in indifferent form, but the East Londoners will be determined to give departing manager David Moyes a fitting send-off. This match begins at 4p.m. and it will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Form and Team News

Man City head into the Premier League’s final day following an eight-match winning run. The Citizens extended their streak of victories with two away wins in the last week. Wins came at Fulham (4-0) and Tottenham (2-0). West Ham’s hopes of qualifying for another European campaign for next season ended following three defeats and a draw in five. The Hammers drew with Liverpool (2-2), lost at Chelsea (5-0) and beat Luton (3-1) in their last three. 

The latest team news shows that City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson will face a late fitness test. Kalvin Phillips is the Hammers’ only absentee. 

Match Winner Bet

The bookies have a clear favourite for the Man City vs West Ham clash. Following five defeats in their last seven away, the Hammers are up against it. Moyes’ side have also lost their last three against the Citizens, and the odds reflect the tough task facing West Ham. At 21/1, BetVictor odds show that an away win is unlikely on Sunday. A draw is also a long shot, as the Hammers have drawn just two of their 18 away Premier League matches this season. Again, the odds reflect the unlikelihood of a draw, as VBet are offering 12/1 here. Ultimately, City’s strength is likely to come through again at the Etihad. In addition to their eight-match winning streak, City have won three in a row against the Hammers. Therefore, our matchwinner tip is to back a home victory, and Coral has the best value here at 1/9.

Handicap Betting

Guardiola’s side have been dominant in recent matches, particularly at home. West Ham have also shipped a lot of recent goals, which could lead to another commanding home win on Sunday. City have won 4-1 and 5-1 twice in their previous three at the Etihad, while West Ham have lost 5-2 and 5-0 in their last two on the road. With the Premier League title at stake, we expect City to keep their winning streak going comfortably. As a result, our tip is to back the Citizens to cover a -2 handicap over West Ham. This bet comes with 4/5 odds, provided by Bet365. 

Anytime Goal Scorer

Manchester City and West Ham have some strong attacking players, capable of finding the net. For the Hammers, Jarrod Bowen has proven himself to be a reliable scorer this season. The forward has 16 goals for the campaign and has scored five in his last 10 league games. Bowen could be a decent outsider pick in the anytime scorer market on Sunday. Bet365 have 9/2 odds for Bowen to strike at the Etihad. However, our top scorer pick is in-form Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has been central to City’s run-in this season and has netted seven goals in his last four. With Haaland in form, we expect him to finish the season strongly and add to his 27-goal tally in the Premier League. At 2/5, Bet365 is providing a solid value bet for Haaland anytime goals – a decent potential bankroll builder.
