West Ham vs Manchester United verdict
Manchester United will be looking for just their second away Premier League victory in six games when they travel to the London Stadium.
While Erik ten Hag has transformed Old Trafford into a fortress, the Red Devils have struggled on the road – picking up just three wins from nine outings across all competitions.
United fell to a 1-0 defeat at Brighton on Thursday night courtesy of a stoppage-time penalty for the Seagulls.
While Ten Hag’s men remain fourth in the standings, they certainly can’t afford too many additional slip-ups as they look to bag Champions League qualification.
West Ham will be hoping to cause the Red Devils more frustrations as the Irons desperately seek more points to secure their top-tier status.
David Moyes and his men have suffered three straight defeats – a run which sees them enter the weekend just four points away from the bottom three.
Ending their losing run against Manchester United is far easier said than done considering the Irons have only managed one win from six previous meetings.
To make matters worse, West Ham have only managed one goal against the Red Devils in the last three head-to-heads.
With that in mind, our recommendation is to back Ten Hag’s side to pick up their first away Premier League win since mid-April.
Our betting recommendation is to back Manchester United to win by a one-goal margin. This bet has landed in five of the last seven meetings.
