At the end of last season West Ham failed to get into the European Cup zone, the ‘Hammers’ finished only on the 9th line. But still West Ham remains a pretty tough opponent for a team of any rank, especially when the matches are held at the London Stadium. In the new season, the team picked up 3 points in the first two rounds, beating Crystal Palace, but lost to Aston Villa with the score 1-2.
Manchester City also remain the main favourites for the Premier League, the Citizens started with two solid wins - 0-2 at Stamford Bridge, and a 4-1 home win over Ipswich.
The guests today look favourites to score 2-3 goals, but we still expect that West Ham will not play all 90 minutes from defence, the ‘Lightning’ are not used to this style of play.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.45
