West Ham vs Manchester City Predictions and Tips 10.08.2019

Reason for our betting tips:

The Hammers wouldn't want to begin the new season against a side they have fallen far short of matching in recent campaigns - including last season's 1-0 and 4-0 reverses before meeting in the summer's Premier League Asian Trophy friendly to lose 4-1.

To London travel the current two-time champions in a strong bid to put a successful start to yet another title defence of theirs. Citizens will, to West Ham's regret, come on the back of a Community Shield triumph retained after their victorious penalty shootout win against Liverpool last week.

Latest h2h encounters between these rivals have been daunting for West Ham, with visiting City teams having scored a great four goals in each of their last three visits to London Stadium. In the early kick-off on Saturday, the only thing, in our view, remains to be seen is how much resistance and courage to attack the Hammers will pose against the champions.

It will not, however, save them from dropping the early three points here regardless.
