West Ham take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 1 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 7th at London Stadium (London).
West Ham are really good under current manager. The Hammers are not without ambition. But it is unlikely that even the owners, Gold and Sullivan, expected that something would turn out under Moyes - not everyone remembers, but David came as a "fireman" that corrected the mistakes of his predecessors. The Scot in his very first full season got involved unexpectedly with his wards in the fight for 4th place. The Londoners did not reach the Champions League, but they were very close to it. The next draw went a little worse, but there, in parallel, the Hammers played in European competition, and with dignity. Yes, and they managed to take 7th place, and, therefore, they again reached the Conference League. In addition, in the summer, he wrote off the ballast that Frederiks, Noble and Yarmolenko, bought promising Skamakka, Agerd and Downes.

Manchester City will come to London motivated. The “Citizens” started the new season with a defeat. Of course, it is unlikely that anyone will be seriously upset because they did not take the country's Super Cup. But, on the other hand, Pep Guardiola again lost a head-to-head against Jurgen Klopp. There is also a personal failure: if the Reds had an expensive newcomer, Darwin Nunez, came on as a substitute and made the result (earning a penalty and scoring the last goal), then the Blue Moon failed to secure Haaland's benefit. As a result, Erling didn't even score in an empty net - he gasped at the crossbar after Adrian's save. On the other hand, the Catalan supported the Norwegian. In addition, another rookie striker, Julián Alvarez, scored the only goal from City's side.
West Ham last won in 2015 (regular time). But in the last 5 matches, the Hammers managed to take a draw in head-to-head games against Manchester City three times. West Ham is a tough opponent, but it's hard to believe that the "citizens" will allow the 2nd misfire in a row. We recommend betting that in this meeting Manchester City won in the 1st half and the match.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win the first half and the match.
