- 西汉姆联在2024年的27场英超比赛中只赢了6场，在那场糟糕的比赛中只保持了两场不失球
- 红魔队在过去的七场比赛中只赢了一场，但他们已经连续五场平局
- 曼联在过去11场与西汉姆的比赛中赢得了8场，尽管他们最近两次在伦敦体育场失利
在压力之下，经理们可能会挺身而出
周日，当埃里克·滕·哈格率领的曼联前往伦敦迎战朱利安·洛佩特吉率领的西汉姆联队时，英超联赛中压力最大的两位主教练可能会正面交锋。
洛佩特吉需要尽快扭转西汉姆联队的局面，尽管西汉姆联队在夏天花费了大量资金，但他的球队只得到了8分，排名第15位。
不过，十哈格和曼联的表现也好不到哪里去，红魔只比周日的东道主好三个名次和三分。
周四晚上，曼联在欧洲联赛中以1比1战平费内巴切，这意味着Ten Hag的球队现在只有七分之一的胜利，他们将渴望在首都扭转局面。
苦苦挣扎的球队将迎来疯狂得分
然而，这可能不是最简单的任务，因为曼联在最近两次伦敦体育场的比赛中都以零比零失利。
尽管如此，这些结果与大卫·莫耶斯的顽固铁锤队背道而驰，同样的形容词当然不能用来形容他的继任者的新面貌。
当西汉姆输球时，他们损失惨重。仅在过去的五周里，西汉姆就以3比0输给了切尔西，5比1输给了利物浦，4比1输了马刺，有很多理由期待本周末会发生一场惊心动魄的首都之战。
资本冲突中目标众多
西汉姆联在2024年只取得了两次英超联赛的零失球，而在曼联过去12场客场比赛中的7场比赛中，两队都取得了胜利。
本赛季，铁锤队一次又一次地证明，他们很容易坚持到底；马刺队本可以比上周末打进的四分多很多；但他们也应该在面对耗尽的红魔防守时找到一些乐趣。
防守四重奏哈里·马奎尔、泰瑞尔·马拉西亚、卢克·肖和莱尼·约罗仍将缺席客队比赛，他们可能和东道主一样脆弱，打进2.5球以上，两队都有得分机会；与西汉姆最近六场英超主场比赛中的五场相同的赌注；对于周日的决战来说，这是一个极具吸引力的选择。
Hojlund可能会伤害Hammers
双方状态都不好，打平了；曼联最近七场比赛中的五场比赛的结果；可以适合每支球队，使2-2成为最有吸引力的正确得分赌注
与此同时，Rasmus Hojlund在射手市场上脱颖而出，因为他巨大的速度可能会给西汉姆带来很多问题，西汉姆本赛季比其他任何英超球队都多出了四次快攻投篮。
预言：
两队得分均超过2.5个比赛进球
平局2-2
Rasmus Hojlund随时得分
外文原文如下：
- West Ham have won only six of their 27 Premier League matches in 2024, managing just two clean sheets in that woeful run
- The Red Devils have won only one of their last seven matches, however they have held on for five draws in that sequence
- Manchester United have won eight of their last 11 meetings with West Ham, although they have lost their two most recent visits to the London Stadium
Under-pressure managers may go on the front foot
Perhaps the two most under-pressure managers in the Premier League go head-to-head on Sunday, as Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United travel to London to take on Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham.
Lopetegui needs to turn things around at West Ham quickly as, despite a summer of spending from the Hammers, his side are down in 15th with just eight points to their name.
Ten Hag and United are not faring much better, though, with the Red Devils only three places and three points better off than Sunday’s hosts.
United’s 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night means it is now just one win in seven for Ten Hag’s men and they will be keen to turn things around in the capital.
Struggling sides set for scoring frenzy
That may not be the simplest task, however, given Manchester United have lost each of their last two visits to the London Stadium to nil.
Although, those results came against David Moyes’ stubborn Hammers and the same adjective certainly cannot be used to describe his successor’s new-look side.
When West Ham lose, they lose heavily. The Hammers have lost 3-0 to Chelsea, 5-1 to Liverpool and 4-1 to Spurs in the past five weeks alone and there are plenty of reasons to expect a thrilling capital clash this weekend.
Goals galore in capital clash
West Ham have managed just two Premier League clean sheets in 2024 while both teams to score has been a winning bet in seven of United’s last 12 away matches.
The Hammers have proven time and again this term that they are easy to play through – Spurs could have scored plenty more than the four they notched last weekend – but they should also find some joy going forwards against a depleted Red Devils defence.
Defensive quartet Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro are still out for the visitors and they could be just as vulnerable as their hosts, making over 2.5 goals and both teams to score – the same bet as landed in five of West Ham’s last six Premier League home games – an extremely appealing selection for Sunday’s showdown.
Hojlund could hurt Hammers
With neither side in great form, a draw – the result of five of United’s last seven matches – could suit each team, making 2-2 the most appealing correct-score bet.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund stands out in the goalscorer market as his immense pace could cause West Ham, who have allowed four more fast-break shots than any other Premier League side this term, plenty of issues.
Predictions:Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Match Goals
Draw 2-2
Rasmus Hojlund To Score Anytime
