Team form: Manchester United's recent fixtures have often been high-scoring, featuring several games with 2 or more goals. West Ham has occasionally conceded but has also scored in bursts, with both teams participating in multiple matches that have seen 3 or more goals. This historic trend significantly influences the probabilities.

Head-to-head: Recent encounters have resulted in several matches with multiple goals and both teams scoring.

Player availability: Manchester United welcomes back Matheus Cunha, providing an attacking boost. In contrast, West Ham is missing Lucas Paquetá due to suspension and has other doubts. Paquetá's absence reduces West Ham's creativity but doesn’t entirely eliminate their goal-scoring potential. The injury and suspension news is mixed and may impact the starting lineups.

Tactics / coaches: United is likely to adopt an attacking approach at home, while West Ham tends to play with a transitional threat. This tactical openness is conducive to generating more chances and goals.
