Location: Olympic Stadium (London).

Manchester City travel to West Ham United on Saturday looking for their tenth h2h rebound win in the entire competition.

Citizens claimed a dominant 5-0 win here last season, but we're expecting better form from the hosts this time around as they find some momentum after starting the season with two consecutive defeats.

The Hammers came back from 3 goals against to draw with Tottenham last week, extending their unbeaten run to 3 games, with the previous two being wins.

The team led by David Moyes also has an exceptional series of goals and scored 10 in those 3 games.

Manchester City are doing very well after their humiliation at home to Leicester. Although they drew with Leeds United shortly afterwards, Sergio Agüero's return inspired them to back-to-back wins against Arsenal and Porto in their Champions League group stage match at the weekend.

The teams are level on 7 points but City have only played 4 games this season, 1 less than West Ham and the others.

Punters now value Sky Blue's team as big favorites with a low of 1,40, while the draw can be reversed at 5,25 and the home win in the region of 7,50.

West Ham vs Manchester City head to head

As mentioned at the beginning, Manchester are undefeated in the last 10 games against West Ham in the entire competition with 9 consecutive victories.

As a visitor, Citizens achieved 5 consecutive victories against the Hammers, scoring at least 4 goals in each of them. Now West Ham have scored just 1 goal this season and the total they have conceded is 22.

The stats represent a good case of over 2,5 goals in the match as a safe option, but the odds are around 1,40.

West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction

West Ham are performing above expectations at the moment and what impressed me the most was their goal-scoring prowess. But what disappoints is a defense that has quality, but very inconsistent.

For the full time result we don't look anywhere else outside of Man City as they have started to look good over the last 2 weeks and things should pick up at Etihad with players coming back from injuries.

We mentioned the quality of the goals scored at West Ham and that's why we're going to take the victory with both teams scoring as the first option for this game with the victory away from home with little probability.

In my opinion, the 2,5+ goals at full time is the right kick as West Ham's last 9 home games against Manchester City have seen the same thing.

West Ham vs Manchester City Betting Tips

• Both teams must score and Man City win @ 2,30 odd
