West Ham take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 5 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 16th at London Stadium (London).
West Ham, under David Moyes, have been delivering relatively good results, if not astronomical, in recent seasons. Compared to the past couple of years, the 2022/2023 season might have been somewhat disappointing. However, firstly, they significantly improved their home performance in the spring. Most importantly, they achieved international success by winning the Conference League. That marked Rice's last triumph with this team as he was bought by Arsenal for over 100 million. They also made good sales with players like Vlasic and Scamacca, which helped finance interesting signings, from Ward-Prowse to Kudus. Now, with the help of these new signings, the Hammers have had a strong start to the season. Yes, they did concede a goal to Bournemouth, but they subsequently defeated Chelsea, Brighton, and, of course, Luton.

Manchester City have already become the sole leader of the Premier League. The Cityzens can hardly outperform their last season's performance with the long-awaited treble. Moreover, they have already lost in the English Super Cup (most likely not being too upset about the outcome against Arsenal) and only avoided a similar failure in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla by winning in the post-match penalty shootout. However, the most important thing is that in the Premier League, Guardiola's proteges, despite losing De Bruyne in the first round, have only been winning, including against Newcastle. No other team currently has 12 points!
West Ham last won eight years ago, in September 2015. In the previous round, the score was 2-0 and 3-0 in favor of Citizens. The guests are simply stronger, clearly, and should prove it. We bet on their victory with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.0 handicap.
