Manchester United vs West Ham United Prediction 04.02.2024

• Competition: England &— Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 4th, February 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15.00 CET
• Venue: Old Trafford (Manchester)

Manchester United and West Ham, both striving to remain in the European race, are set to face off in an exciting Premier League match at Old Trafford this Sunday.

The Red Devils surprised everyone by showing a completely different side in the second half of the midweek clash, after having dominated the first half. They allowed the Wolves to equalize the score at 3-3, but Manchester’s gem, Kobbie Mainoo, came through with a brilliant strike during deep stoppage time, securing a thrilling 4-3 victory. With this win at the Molinex Stadium, they secured three points, keeping their European dreams alive. Eric ten Haag’s team is now trailing by eight points behind Aston Villa, who are placed fifth and currently hold the final spot for entry into the continental club scene.

Since the beginning of the new calendar year, West Ham has neither tasted victory nor experienced defeat, instead drawing for the third consecutive Premier League match, thanks to James Ward-Prowse’s accurate penalty that secured a point in a tough 1-1 draw against a determined Bournemouth. The draw at the London Stadium on Thursday extends David Moyes’ team’s winless run into the new year, covering five competitive matches, but they remain in a good position to vie for European spots, currently in sixth place with a seven-point distance from the Champions League positions.

Man Utd is just one point behind West Ham in the standings; a win could catapult them to the sixth spot. However, both teams have equal chances of success entering Sunday’s match, and we expect goals from both sides. Despite Erik ten Hag fielding his best defensive quartet midweek, he found himself in a less than ideal situation as Wolves managed to score three goals against Andre Onana. This marks the sixth time in their last seven competitive matches that the Red Devils have conceded at least two goals.

Despite not having won a game in 2024 (D4, L1), West Ham is hopeful of exploiting the defensive weaknesses of their Sunday opponents to score, having managed to net exactly two goals in five of their last six Premier League away games. Manchester’s offense is performing well, scoring four goals in two consecutive competitive matches, but their defense is a concern, having kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 games at Old Trafford. The first match of the season between the two sides was won by West Ham, who defeated Man Utd 2-0 at home. Now, Man Utd will be seeking revenge, which may result in an exciting draw between these evenly matched teams.
