West Ham v Man City Bet Builder Tips : Haaland and Antonio Shots appeal

West Ham United host Manchester City in the Premier League’s last game of the opening weekend this afternoon.

The Hammers are looking to build on last season’s seventh-placed finish, but won’t have new signings Nayef Aguerd, Maxwel Cornet or Gianluca Scamacca available from the start.

Champions Man City, on the other hand, will almost certainly unleash Erling Haaland for his Premier League debut after his £51m move from Borussia Dortmund.

Where can I place a bet builder on West Ham Manchester City?

There are a number of places where you can place a bet builder but we’re going with Bet365 because of the bet365 free bets offer.. They’ll give you £50 in free bets for only a £10 outlay (full T&C below).

The Citizens will also be looking to take advantage of Liverpool‘s slip up yesterday, with the Reds being held to a 2-2 draw away at Fulham.

Pep Guardiola’s side are odds-on 4/11 favourites to kick-off their title defence with a win, with the draw 4/1 and a home win 7/1.

Even though City are obviously the more likely side to win, I do think they’re very short here.

West Ham vs Manchester City Prediction : Shots

They were held 2-2 by West Ham at the London Stadium in May and looked a little off the pace against Liverpool in last weekend’s 3-1 defeat in the Community Shield.

Rather than predicting the outcome of the match, then, I’m looking towards the Player Shots market for our Bet Builder.

Haaland, Riyad Mahrez and Kevin de Bruyne all had 2+ shots against the Reds last weekend and I think they can do so once again, providing they all start, of course.

Equally I expect West Ham to carry a threat in behind in transition, with Jarred Bowen likely to be full of confidence after scoring twice against City in the aforementioned 2-2 draw in May.

I’ll back him and Michail Antonio to have at least one shot each for total odds of 11/8.

Elsewhere, Vladimar Coufal was booked in the last meeting and looks way too big at 5/1 (bet365, Sky Bet and others) considering he’ll likely be up against Jack Grealish.

The pair have had a good running battle over the last few years whenever they’ve played against each other.

There’s little else catching my eye on this game to be honest so I’ll stick with the two selections for this one after 13/2 and EVS winners in our first two games of the new season.

Let’s hope to bag another!
