Score a goal in betting with our Soccer picks.
West Ham's offense has been spearheaded by Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paquetá, and Mohammed Kudus, each contributing two goals this season. Bowen also leads with two assists, indicating his importance as both a goal threat and playmaker. While West Ham has scored 11 goals so far. They face a Manchester United defense that has been vulnerable at times, conceding nine goals in eight matches.
Defensively, West Ham has struggled, allowing 15 goals and showing some vulnerability to pace and creative play. The defensive unit, which includes stalwarts like Kurt Zouma, has to be tighter, especially against a Manchester United side with the attacking talents of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
Manchester United’s attacking options have been fairly ineffective so far, with Garnacho and Rashford each notching only two and one goal, respectively. Despite an arsenal that includes Bruno Fernandes, the Red Devils have found it tough to consistently break down defenses. Fernandes leads with two assists, underscoring his playmaking role, yet the lack of end product from Rashford and the rest of the attacking line has hampered United’s ability to control games.
On the defensive end, Manchester United has been shaky, with a goal difference of -2 due to nine goals allowed in just eight matches. Defenders like Matthijs de Ligt will need to organize better and bring a composed approach to handle West Ham's creative attackers. Given that Manchester United has conceded consistently, and must approach this game with heightened defensive discipline to avoid dropping points.
