MU vs West Ham score prediction: A chance for revenge for the Red Devils
MU vs West Ham prediction: The Red Devils will likely beat their opponents 3-1 to keep their hopes of qualifying for the European Cup alive.
The confrontation between MU vs West Ham at 8:15 pm on May 11 promises to bring a lot of drama when both teams need a victory to save the season. While MU hopes to win a ticket to the European Cup, West Ham is trying to save face after a series of bad performances.
Manchester United enter this match in high spirits after a resounding 4-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-finals. With a 7-1 aggregate score after two matches, the Red Devils officially booked their ticket to the final against Tottenham. Despite a forgettable Premier League season, MU still has a chance to salvage the European championship.
However, in the domestic arena, MU's form has been disappointing. They have gone through a series of 6 games without a win in the Premier League, including a dramatic 3-4 loss to Brentford. Currently, coach Ruben Amorim's team is only 15th and has not yet reached the 40-point mark - the safety mark often mentioned for relegation.
In terms of squad, MU continues to be without a series of key players such as Joshua Zirkzee, Lisandro Martinez or Diogo Dalot due to injury. However, midfielder Mason Mount is making an impressive comeback with 3 goals in the last 2 matches, bringing hope to the attack.
On the other side of the front line, West Ham have also been in crisis since parting ways with David Moyes. Under coach Graham Potter, the London team has gone 8 games without a win in the Premier League. Last week's draw with Tottenham was a rare positive, with Jarrod Bowen scoring his 10th goal of the season.
Despite no longer being in danger of relegation, West Ham are aiming to finish in the top 10, which is unlikely given their current form. Notably, they have lost all four of their last visits to Old Trafford, and their last win here was nearly four years ago.
With home advantage and high form in European competition, MU is predicted to win 3-1 against West Ham. This result will not only help them temporarily escape the crisis but also maintain the hope of winning a ticket to the European Cup next season.
