Current streaks

Recent form

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been mixed, with their last six games resulting in two wins, one draw, and three losses. Their most recent Premier League match saw them secure an impressive away victory against Crystal Palace, keeping a clean sheet in the process. However, their defensive record has been a concern, conceding 10 goals in the last six games, with an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. On a positive note, West Ham has been involved in high-scoring matches, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's ability to find the net consistently (scoring in 5 out of 6 games) is encouraging, but their negative goal difference (-2) suggests they need to tighten up defensively to improve their 9th place position in the league.

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent form shows a strong start to the Premier League season, with two wins from two games, placing them at the top of the table. Their last six matches across all competitions reveal a resilient team, losing only once in a friendly against AC Milan. Notably, City has been involved in several high-scoring games, with their 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town and 4-2 win against Chelsea in a friendly standing out. The team's offensive prowess is evident, averaging 2.5 goals per game, while their defense has room for improvement, conceding 1.5 goals per game. City's matches tend to be action-packed, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of the encounters. Despite not keeping many clean sheets, City's positive goal difference of 6 underlines their attacking strength and ability to outscore opponents.

Recent home/away form

West Ham

West Ham's recent home form has been mixed, with a notable lack of clean sheets across their last six games. The Hammers have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game, while maintaining a consistent attacking output of 1.67 goals per game. Their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in all six encounters. The standout result was a 3-1 victory over Luton Town in their last Premier League home game of the previous season. However, West Ham are currently on a small run of two home games without a win, having lost to Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League fixture and drawing with RC Celta in a friendly.

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent away form has been nothing short of exceptional, showcasing a remarkable run of five consecutive wins in their last six matches. The team has displayed impressive offensive prowess, scoring 17 goals in these six games, averaging 2.83 goals per match. Defensively, they've been equally stellar, conceding only 3 goals and keeping an impressive 5 clean sheets. Notably, City has been particularly dominant in their last five Premier League away matches, winning all of them without conceding a single goal. Two standout high-scoring games were the 4-0 victories against Fulham and Brighton, highlighting their ability to overwhelm opponents on the road. The only non-victory in this stretch was a thrilling 3-3 draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League, which was also their highest-scoring away game in this period.
