West Ham vs Liverpool Preview
Last weekend, the Hammers slumped to a 5-2 defeat to London rivals Crystal Palace, and they will be hoping to get out of this drastic form that they are in at the moment.
David Moyes’s side has endured a nine-game winless streak across all competitions, which is concerning for a side aiming for European football this season.
Despite currently holding 8th place, they’ve played one more game than 7th-place Newcastle and two more than 9th-place Chelsea. However, they’re still firmly in the mix for Europa Conference League football next season.
Another team eager to bounce back is Liverpool, who recently suffered a 2-0 defeat to rivals Everton. This loss couldn’t have come at a worse time, considering the season is drawing to a close and the title race remains up for grabs.
Jurgen Klopp’s side currently occupies 2nd place in the standings, trailing league leaders Arsenal by three points. However, Manchester City have two games in hand over both Liverpool and Arsenal, which could propel them past both teams if they secure victories in those matches.
West Ham vs Liverpool Betting Tips and Predictions
Liverpool To Win & Both Teams To Score
Liverpool will be aware that they cannot afford any more slip-ups, especially after their recent setback at Goodison Park. Despite their slim chances of winning the league, they will acknowledge the necessity of winning every remaining game to stay in contention.
With eagerness of wanting to bounce back, we expect the Reds to grab all three points in the early kick-off on Saturday and put pressure on Arsenal, who are playing Spurs on Sunday.
Additionally, Liverpool has won in their last five meetings against the Hammers, while David Moyes has tasted defeat as a manager against Liverpool on 26 occasions, with only Arsenal (28 losses) posing a greater challenge for him.
However, we don’t anticipate an easy ride for Klopp’s side, as West Ham will be determined to stage their own comeback, setting the stage for an intriguing match. We reckon West Ham will find the net, considering that both teams have scored a total of six times in their last nine encounters across all competitions, including the most recent three matches.
Under 3.5 Goals
Under 3.5 goals is our second tip for the early kick-off on Saturday, which is 39/50 on Lucky Block’s latest West Ham vs Liverpool odds.
Expanding on our previous analysis, we expect the Hammers to provide stiff opposition for Liverpool by adopting a defensive strategy and seeking to capitalise on counterattacks. This approach is likely to result in a tightly contested and cautious game.
Moreover, in the past four Premier League encounters between these teams, there have been three goals or fewer in each match. We anticipate that Saturday’s game will follow suit, especially given that both teams are eager for the win.
