Liverpool vs. West Ham United Betting Preview
Liverpool
By their incredibly high standards, Liverpool have made a sluggish start to their 2022-23 season. The Reds nearly won the lot last term, winning both domestic cups and finishing runners-up in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
They put so much effort in, which could be taking its toll right now. Liverpool find themselves down in eighth place in the Premier League table, taking just 13 points from nine games.
Merseyside Outfit
So far, the Merseyside outfit have picked up just three league wins, drawing four and losing two of the other six.
They did secure a vital victory over Premier League champions Man City last time out. In what was a tight and tense occasion at Anfield, a late Mohamed Salah goal was enough to give Klopp’s boys an invaluable three points.
The Citizens had a goal ruled out, and Klopp was sent off in a memorable matchup between England’s top two.
Champions League
Before the win over City, Liverpool hammered Rangers away from home in the Champions League, leaving Glasgow with a 7-1 win and three big European points. Things have certainly improved for the Reds over the past week or so.
Liverpool will desperately want to start climbing the EPL standings, so three points against West Ham on Wednesday would be huge.
Can they follow up the win over City with another home success? Check out our Liverpool vs West Ham prediction below.
West Ham United
West Ham United have enjoyed plenty of success under Moyes in recent years, with the Scot guiding the London side to Europe for two years running.
However, the Irons made a bad start to their 2022-23 Premier League schedule, winning just one of their opening seven matches.
West Ham have really turned a corner since a 1-0 loss to Everton a month back, going on to take seven points from a possible nine in the Premier League.
Back-to-Back Wins
Before the draw at Southampton last weekend, United claimed back-to-back wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham.
The Londoners head to Anfield having won nine of their previous 14 league and cup games. They have been faultless in the UEFA Europa Conference League this term, winning six out of six so far.
Premier League Standings
West Ham’s improved form has lifted them away from the drop zone and into 12th in the Premier League standings. United have taken 11 points from a possible 30, winning three, drawing two, and losing five.
Liverpool may not be at their blistering best right now, but a trip to Anfield is always a tough one. Nevertheless, can the in-form Hammers leave Merseyside and return to the English capital with a positive result? Read on four the Liverpool vs West Ham prediction.
Liverpool vs. West Ham United Betting Preview
On the whole, Liverpool have been strong at home this season. They have played eight league and cup matches at Anfield, winning six and drawing two.
Only Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion have left with a positive result. Liverpool’s last home league defeat came against Fulham way back in March 2021.
West Ham are starting to show their full potential, dropping just two points in the league since that disappointing loss to Everton.
Who to Bet On?
The Hammers will be looking for better luck in Merseyside in midweek, but they head to Anfield as the big underdogs with the bookies.
Unfortunately, we can see the Londoners falling to another defeat here, and Liverpool are our Premier League picks to win this one.
The Reds have managed to keep clean sheets in their last two home wins, stopping both Rangers and Man City from scoring on their patch.
Take a punt on Liverpool to win to nil again at +163. Also, back under 3.5 goals at the solid price of +130.
