After a superb 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic to start the new Barclays Premier League campaign, West Ham United travel to the City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday looking to maintain their 100 per cent record.
Games between Manchester City and West Ham United usually do not produce many goals. In fact, only one of the last nine meetings in the top flight has produced three goals or more. The Hammers have won just once at City in nine previous league meetings - that coming in 2003 - but they drew this fixture 1-1 last term.
For the televised match, West Ham United are on offer at 43/20, with the draw available at 11/5. If you think the result will be the same as last season, 5/1 is on offer for a 1-1 draw. It might be worth remembering that goals have been traditionally hard to come by when these two meet, since you can bet under or over 2.5 goals in each game with JAXX. It is 13/20 that there will be fewer than 2.5 goals scored in total, and 19/20 that there will be more than 2.5 goals.
Dean Ashton, who scored six goals in five pre-season friendlies before notching a double against Wigan, has now struck seven goals in his last nine Premier League outings. Therefore, the 7/20 available for West Ham United to score at any time might be worth chancing. It is 17/10 that the visitors fail to find the net on Sunday.
Buoyed by their opening-day victory, and with City still looking to find a bit of confidence, it might be worth backing West Ham United on the JAXX Handicap. Alan Curbishley's men are 9/20 receiving a mythical goal start. So if you take that price and the Hammers win or draw, your bet will be successful. City are 17/5 to win by two clear goals or more and the Handicap draw (a City victory by the odd goal) is available at 27/10.
Perhaps more inviting is 17/20 for Alan Curbishley's men to be the first team to score, meaning a successful £20 bet will return £37. They are 1/1 (Evens) with JAXX to be the last team to score.
You can also bet on which half will produce most goals. The first half is 39/20, the second half is 1/1, or for an equal amount of goals in each half, 41/20 is available. Check out a multitude of markets for Sunday's showdown, including corrrect score, half-time/full time, half-time result and half with most goals.
