Manchester City – West Ham Tip Premier League, Matchday 17 on Saturday, 20/12/25 at 16:00 CET
On matchday 17 of the Premier League, Manchester City will be looking to continue their winning streak and claim their next win against West Ham United. And of course, the chances of this could be much worse.
After all, West Ham is in a difficult phase, has won only three of the first 16 league games and is – at least from today’s perspective – definitely one of the relegation candidates.
In my Manchester City West Ham tip, I therefore don’t assume that “The Hammers” can offer significant resistance. The bet “Win Manchester City with handicap -1” at odds around 1.55 is therefore available at Bet365 with the prospect of a Bet365 odds boost.
Manchester City vs West Ham AI Predictions:
It’s hard to say whether our AI model is already juggling Christmas baubles. The fact is, however, that the digital brain provides you with its very own Manchester City West Ham AI prediction.
At the beginning, the AI takes aim at the bet “win Man City to nil”. The odds are 2.10 and are definitely worth a recommendation. After all, the Skyblues have already won the last two league games without conceding a goal and shone against both Sunderland and Crystal Palace (3-0 each).
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Manchester City |
Draw |
Win West Ham |
| 78.1% |
14.2% |
7.7% |
Accordingly, it makes sense that the AI also counts “City over 2.5 goals” among the top bets. The odds of around 1.70 are solid given the starting position, especially since you have to take into account that West Ham has already conceded 32 goals after 16 matchdays.
Erling Haaland has scored 17 times in 16 league games. “Haaland scores” at odds just below 1.50 should therefore be on the list for the duel with West Ham at German bookmakers.
