Manchester City has generally been in strong form recently, with good home attack and defensive stability, but specific to the schedule at the end of 2025, it is necessary to consider its possible squad rotation and injury situation. As an away team, West Ham United's tactical style is relatively pragmatic, often adopting a solid defensive strategy when facing strong teams away, and recent results may show that their goal control is acceptable, but their scoring ability, especially away to top teams, may be limited.

Looking back at the past head-to-head records between the two teams, Manchester City have a clear advantage at home against West Ham United, often controlling the game and scoring goals. However, the score is not always wide and close, and West Ham are well aware of the strength of their opponents on the road, and their game strategy may be conservative, resulting in the total number of goals scored in some meetings not exceeding 3 goals.

The two odds are very close, both below 1.00, which suggests that the agency believes that the probability of goals scored under 3.5 goals is slightly higher, but the advantage is extremely weak, almost seen as a balance of power pattern, and also means that the return rate is lower regardless of the outcome.

Taken together, the tone of this game may be determined by Manchester City's control and West Ham's defensive stance. Manchester City have the upper hand, but if they establish an advantage early, the pace of the game may slow down. West Ham United play away from home, and the primary goal is to reduce the number of goals conceded. Combined with the market expectations reflected in the very close odds, as well as the record of not all big scores in historical head-to-heads, the total number of goals scored in this game is "less than 3.5 goals" is a reasonable direction. The game is more likely to end with a small win for Manchester City or a controlled situation with limited goals.
