It could yet be a dramatic end to the season for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, as they aren’t completely out of the race for a European finish. The Reds sit nine points off the Champions League places, but they could overtake Tottenham into fifth with a win on Wednesday.
West Ham’s position in the EPL standings looks slightly more comfortable after two wins in their last three, as they now sit six clear of the drop zone. The latest West Ham vs Liverpool betting picks and Premier League odds can be found here.

West Ham United vs. Liverpool Recent Scores
West Ham picked up a 3-2 win in this exact fixture last season. However, they haven’t won back-to-back home games against the Reds since the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Liverpool’s record against the Hammers is extremely eye-catching, as they have won ten of their last 12. But, both winless results over that period have been suffered at the London Stadium.
West Ham United vs. Liverpool Betting Analysis
West Ham United
There is still a growing sense that this will be the final season in which David Moyes is manager at West Ham United. He will be keen to end the season on a high, which could include a major piece of silverware with success in the Europa Conference League.
The Hammers have eased away from the relegation places in recent weeks, having gone three without defeat. Their 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Sunday was a second victory over that period.
The Premier League stats show that West Ham’s home record has improved in recent weeks, as they have now lost just once in their previous seven at the London Stadium.
That is an excellent response after losing three straight home games across November and December. Furthermore, they have scored at least once in each of their last seven matches in front of their home fans.
Liverpool
The games on the Premier League schedule are likely to run out before Liverpool are able to get within striking distance of the Champions League spots.
The Reds sit nine points adrift of Man United, with the Red Devils also having a game in hand over Jurgen Klopp’s side. Liverpool’s recent form has improved, as they travel to the capital looking to register a third straight success. They have also gone unbeaten across their last four matches.
Victory on Wednesday would see the Reds move above Tottenham Hotspur into fifth, which would be a fantastic finishing position after their struggles throughout this campaign. Liverpool’s away record improved in their previous game on the road, as they hammered Leeds United 6-1.
However, that match saw them score as many goals in an away match as they had managed in their previous eight. Before making an away selection in the West Ham vs Liverpool betting, it’s important to consider that they have won back-to-back games on the road just once this season.
Updates
Roberto Firmino remains out for the Reds, while Naby Keita also isn’t likely to be fit enough to return to the matchday squad. Gianluca Scamaca is the only player missing for the Hammers.

West Ham United vs. Liverpool Betting Prediction
Liverpool was excellent in their previous match on the road, but they looked really weak defensively in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest. West Ham are a team playing at the top of their game at present, and we expect them to pick up something from this clash on Wednesday.
For that reason, we will be siding with the draw for our West Ham vs Liverpool betting prediction. We could also see both teams finding the net in an entertaining game at the London Stadium.
- Pick 1: Draw (+290)
- Pick 2: Both Teams To Score (-163)
