West Ham United Manchester United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most probable scenario will be for a couple of goals to be scored. We believe this will be an open match, with scoring chances for both teams, as they have a lot more quality in their attack than their defense. Besides, both will be looking for 3 points to improve their position, especially the visitors. So a bet towards the over has a lot of value.
