West Ham vs Liverpool Prediction & Match Preview

West Ham vs Liverpool Match Preview

• West Ham go into this off the back of a demolishing 2-5 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend.
• Liverpool bounced back from recent slip-ups by beating Fulham 3-1 on the road six days ago.
• The Reds notched eight goals in the last two head-to-head matches against the Hammers.

Liverpool continue their title race in a congested schedule on Saturday afternoon. Just three days after the Merseyside derby, the Reds travel to the capital to lock horns with West Ham in the first game of Matchday No 35 at London Stadium.

Liverpool managed to return to winning ways after successive domestic failures against Manchester United and Crystal Palace. They dispatched Fulham 3-1 away at Craven Cottage last Sunday. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota stole the show as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez started on the bench.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are big favourites on Saturday. While they still dream of the Premier League title, their rivals West Ham seem to lack proper motivation in quest for the top-six finish. The Hammers suffered a brutal 2-5 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace six days ago.

Recent Meetings

• Liverpool will go into this on the back of five subsequent victories over West Ham.

West Ham vs Liverpool Prediction

It is very hard to look past the away win bet here. Liverpool can’t afford a slip-up in the remaining four matches of the season. They regained confidence with a 3-1 victory last weekend at Fulham. The Reds also go into this on the back of five consecutive wins over West Ham.

On the other side, the Hammers lost three and drew one of the previous four outings in all competitions. Head coach David Moyes has serious issues with sidelined players. His best player Jarrod Bowen did not feature in a demolishing 2-5 defeat six days ago at Selhurst Park.

Our main bet is Liverpool to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the 2.30 odds.

You can alternatively back Liverpool’s talisman Mohamed Salah to score anytime at the 1.90 odds. Salah and company should have plenty of room to deliver past the leaky West Ham defence on Saturday.

The Hammers conceded four goals inside the opening 30 minutes of the last weekend’s game at Selhurst Park. The Egyptian winger has 17 goals to his name so far in the season and he is still in the Golden Boot contention.
