Manchester City take on the visitors West Ham in the postponed round 28 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 3rd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again. And once again, they will face the experienced Madrid "Real". Undoubtedly, Pep Guardiola cannot help but start thinking about how to take on Ancelotti and his "creamy" team this time. In addition, the "Catalan" will play against his wards in the derby against "Manchester United" in the final of the English Cup. But, undoubtedly, there is also a task to keep the title in the EPL. Undoubtedly, it has already become boring, but, on the other hand, the current Premier League campaign has been under an unexpected sauce, in the role of a chaser, which makes another success truly bright. Especially since "Arsenal" persistently held onto the lead until April, until a series of draws made the handicap melt. As a result, a week ago, in a head-to-head battle with the "Gunners," a confident 4-1 victory was achieved, and, most likely, a decisive one. After that, they just had to avoid any setbacks. With "Fulham," they succeeded, winning 2-1.

West Ham, like their next opponent, is a semifinalist in European cups. Yes, unlike the Manchester giant, they have to settle for only the Conference League. But in this league, the London club, starting from the summer, consistently won until the quarterfinals. Yes, then "Gent" managed to tie the match at home 1-1, but the Belgians were then defeated 4-1 in London. For the "Hammers" who are not spoiled with success, winning such a European cup will be a big success. Moreover, this way they can guarantee themselves a place in the Europa League next fall. It is unlikely that they will be able to make it through the EPL - the team is hanging much lower than in previous tournaments. Moreover, David Moyes' charges have been hovering around the relegation zone for a long time, and the Scotsman himself was on the verge of relegation. But then April turned out to be a real breakthrough. Yes, after a 1-0 win over Southampton, there was a 1-5 defeat by Newcastle, but then they repeated the winning scoreline with Fulham, and they came back from a 0-2 deficit against Arsenal. Finally, on April 23, they crushed Bournemouth, scoring 4 unanswered goals. But perhaps after that they calmed down completely - there were losses in spectacular matches against Liverpool (1-2) and Crystal Palace (3-4).
West Ham have not beaten City for a long time. But at the same time, half of the last 6 matches ended in draws in regular playing time. This was the case a year ago when the "Hammer" team drew 2-2. The "Citizens" are in excellent form, and the guests are unlikely to go all out. We recommend betting on the fact that the home champion will win with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap.
