Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
With three competitive game wins in a row, Liverpool FC and Jürgen Klopp have found their way back on track. The reigning English champions seem to be gradually gaining momentum, even if things can still be improved and one or the other problem remains.
In any case, the Reds are still with the bookmakers, as shown before the game Liverpool vs. West Ham the odds of the best bookmakers, gladly seen as the favorite. The quality is undoubtedly still very high.
On the other hand, West Ham is a team that is difficult to assess. Actually, the club from London was not traded in the upper table regions, but the appearances have been very positive recently. Whether Liverpool can also be surprised will be shown on Saturday at 17:30 p.m. on Anfield Road.
Liverpool:
Liverpool’s season so far has not been easy. Nevertheless, the Reds are currently in second place in the Premier League, even though “only” 13 out of a possible 18 points were scored. The Klopp-Elf is getting better and better and has recently won three games in a row, two of them in the Champions League.
In the most recent 2-0 win against Midtjylland from Denmark, the LFC was even able to spare some players, so many key figures are at least a little rested. Before the game of Liverpool vs. The odds also show West Ham that the hosts will go into the game as the clear favorite. The betting provider Interwetten, tested by Wettbasis, offers odds of 1.43 for a tip on a home win, for example.
With West Ham, something like a favorite opponent is now coming to Anfield. The Reds have not lost any of their last eight league games against the Hammers. In addition, West Ham could only win one of the last 47 (!) Away games in Liverpool. If the hosts have their way, there will be no second victory on Saturday.
The shoe is a bit on the defensive at the Reds this season. The 2: 7 bankruptcy at Aston Villa continues to have an effect, but 14 goals conceded in six games speak for themselves. No team has a worse record, no team have scored more goals (29) than in Liverpool games this season.
For these reasons, before the game Liverpool vs. West Ham our forecast that both teams will score at least once. This tendency is supported by the fact that Liverpool are missing two very important defensive players with van Dijk and Fabinho. Further tips on the Premier League can be found on a betting basis.
The personnel worries on the defensive are not an excuse for Liverpool. The more the focus is on the offensive and the relief. Especially Salah and Mane, who have already scored ten league goals together, will also be the focus on Saturday. True to the motto that you have to score one more goal than your opponent, Liverpool will go on the hunt for goals.
West Ham:
When West Ham lost the first two games of the new season after an anything but good preparation, many experts agreed that David Moyes had to fight for his post early on. The reality is different, however, the Hammers have stabilized and have now been unbeaten for four games.
The 3: 3 against Tottenham after 0: 3 deficit will be remembered. But the 1-1 draw against Manchester City last week also shows that West Ham has a chance against top teams. It is all the more surprising that the bookmakers before the game Liverpool vs. West Ham hardly showed any confidence in the guests based on the betting odds.
It is noticeable when looking at the statistics that West Ham scores many goals in the last few minutes. In the last quarter of an hour, the guests from London have already scored five of their twelve goals this season. So Liverpool would be well advised to decide the game quickly.
Despite the clear distribution of roles, West Ham is expecting a chance of winning points. To do this, however, the finger must be placed in the wound. Long balls should be played precisely forward from the compact five-man chain and then processed. With Antonio and Bowen, both of whom have already scored three goals, the appropriate staff is available.
West Ham has scored in five out of six games in the Premier League so far. That also ensures before the game Liverpool vs. West Ham for our tip that both teams will score at least one goal in this game.
West Ham will bet on continuity and bring the same team onto the field as in the last few games. With a point win you could also continue to establish yourself in the table of the Premier League in the midfield.
