Man United v West Ham
Kick Off: Sunday 11th May at 14:15
Competition: Premier League
Manchester United are without a league win in 6.
West Ham are without a victory in their last 8 league matches.
The home team has won the last 7 fixtures between these sides.
The Hammers have seen BTTS in their last 5.
BTTS has landed in 3 of United’s last 4 in the league.
Manchester United’s dire season continues as they enter the final stretch sat in a dismal 15th on 39 points, just one point behind the traditional “magic” 40-point survival mark. They also carry a negative goal difference of -9, underlining their poor form. This could realistically be their lowest-ever Premier League finish.
Their opponents West Ham aren’t faring much better, hovering just two places and two points below in 17th, fortunate only that the three promoted sides offered little fight for survival. Bookmakers have priced United at even money to win, suggesting this one is far from a formality. Both West Ham and the draw are priced at 3.50.
Goals are anticipated, with over 2.5 match goals at 1.73, while under 2.5 is priced even at 2.00. Bookies also expect both teams to find the net, with BTTS Yes available at 1.60, while BTTS No sits at a higher 2.20. This is a meeting of two sides low on confidence and form, with little to play for but pride and an urge to avoid embarrassment.
⭐ Man United v West Ham Predictions and Best Bets
With both teams deeply out of form, confidence is lacking, and neither can be backed with conviction. Manchester United are winless in their last six league games, while West Ham’s barren run extends to eight without a victory. If you're looking for a result-based pick, the draw at 3.50 might represent the best value, especially as United have drawn twice during their winless streak, and West Ham have shared the spoils on four occasions in their last eight.
In terms of goals, there’s strong data supporting both teams to score. West Ham have seen BTTS land in five straight league matches, showing consistent attacking effort but continued defensive issues. Manchester United have seen both teams score in three of their last four in the league as well. Backing BTTS – Yes at 1.60 looks like a solid bet, especially considering the trends. A match outcome bet on the draw combined with both teams scoring could offer even juicier odds for those looking for more value.
🔴 Manchester United on Course for Record Low Premier League Finish
This season will not be remembered fondly by Manchester United fans, with the club teetering on the edge of its worst-ever Premier League finish. With only 39 points and just three games to go, the best-case scenario may be a mid-table finish, hardly acceptable for a club of United’s stature.
Their form is woeful, with no wins in their last six league matches. They've collected just 21 points at Old Trafford and 18 away from home, reflecting a lack of dominance both home and away.
The side lacks cohesion and cutting edge, and defensively they’ve been shaky all season. A win here could potentially lift them above Everton and Wolves depending on other results, but a loss could leave them languishing in 17th, only clear of the relegated teams.
Ruben Amorim’s side is also heavily impacted by injuries. Ayden Heaven, Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Toby Collyer are all expected to miss out, leaving the manager short of options in several key areas.
🟣 West Ham Just Waiting for the Season to End
West Ham’s season under Graham Potter has been nothing short of dismal. Sitting in 17th with just 37 points, the Hammers have been saved from relegation only by the woeful performances of the three promoted clubs.
Without a win in their last eight league matches, a streak that began in February, West Ham appear to be limping toward the finish line. Their performances have been uninspired both at home and away, with just 20 points earned at the London Stadium and a meagre 17 picked up on the road.
Statistically, they’re among the worst performers across the board, ranking fourth-worst in points total, home form, and away form. Their scoring return is low, averaging just 1.14 goals per game (40 goals in total), and they’ve conceded 59 goals, almost 1.7 per match.
The squad is also dealing with absentees: Michail Antonio, Edson Alvarez, and Crysencio Summerville are all unavailable.
📊 Man United v West Ham Head-to-Head Key Stats
Surprisingly, West Ham enter this matchup with a stronger recent head-to-head record against Manchester United. The Hammers have won three of the last four meetings between the two sides, a stat that will give them confidence despite their poor form.
The reverse fixture earlier this season was a thrilling encounter in East London. West Ham prevailed late on with a 92nd-minute penalty from Jarrod Bowen sealing a dramatic 2-1 win. That match was open and attacking, with West Ham posting 2.98 xG compared to United’s 2.12 xG, a clear indication of chances at both ends.
One notable trend is that the home team has won each of the last seven meetings between the sides, which might give Manchester United some belief heading into this one.
