Manchester United vs West Ham

Current streaks

Recent form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been inconsistent and concerning, with the Red Devils currently languishing in 15th position in the Premier League. Their last six matches have seen them struggle defensively, conceding 14 goals at an alarming rate of 2.33 per game. However, they have managed to maintain a respectable scoring record, netting 13 times at an average of 2.17 goals per match. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with an impressive total goals average of 4.5 and 67% of games seeing both teams score. Notably, United have been involved in two particularly thrilling encounters: a 5-4 victory over Lyon in the Europa League and a narrow 4-3 defeat to Brentford in the Premier League. Despite their league struggles, United have shown promise in Europe, securing a convincing 3-0 away win against Athletic Club in their most recent Europa League fixture.

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been concerning, with the Hammers winless in their last six matches and currently sitting in 17th position in the Premier League. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 10 goals in the last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight outings. The team's goal-scoring ability has also been limited, averaging just 1.17 goals per game in this period. Despite their struggles, West Ham have shown resilience in securing three draws during this run, including a 2-2 result against Bournemouth which was their highest-scoring game. The Hammers' tendency to concede has led to both teams scoring in 83% of these matches, providing entertainment for neutral fans but frustration for West Ham supporters. With their current form, West Ham find themselves in a precarious position, desperately needing to turn draws into wins to climb away from the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches at Old Trafford yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The Red Devils have struggled to maintain consistency, failing to secure back-to-back victories during this period. Their most recent home fixture saw them suffer a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League, but prior to that, they were involved in a thrilling nine-goal encounter with Lyon in the Europa League, emerging victorious with a 5-4 scoreline. This high-scoring affair stands out as a particularly entertaining match, contrasting sharply with their goalless draw against local rivals Manchester City. Despite their inconsistent form, United have managed to find the back of the net regularly, scoring 11 goals in their last six home games, although they've only kept one clean sheet during this run.

West Ham

West Ham's recent away form has been concerning, with the Hammers currently on a three-match losing streak on the road. Their sole victory in the last six away games came in a surprising 1-0 win against Arsenal, which also marks their only clean sheet during this period. The team's struggles are reflected in their 17th position in the league, highlighting their battle against relegation. West Ham have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly their most recent 3-2 defeat at Brighton, contributing to an average of 2.5 total goals per game. Despite their poor run, the Hammers have managed to find the net in four of their last six away matches, albeit not enough to secure more positive results. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game on their travels, which has undoubtedly contributed to their precarious league position.
