West Ham United vs Liverpool Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Saturday, the 35th round of the Premier League offers an intriguing clash at London Stadium where West Ham United will host Liverpool. The game starts at 11:30 AM, setting the stage for what promises to be a compelling match.

West Ham United, under David Moyes, are positioned 8th in the league with 48 points and have shown mixed form recently. In their last five matches, they have managed just one win, three losses and one draw. Their recent outing was a disappointing 5-2 defeat away at Crystal Palace.

Liverpool, guided by Jürgen Klopp and currently second in the league standings with 74 points, appear to be on a steadier path. They've secured three wins in their last five games alongside one loss and one draw. Their latest victory came against Fulham away from home with a scoreline of 3-1.

Historically in this fixture over recent seasons, Liverpool has dominated West Ham United convincingly; winning all of their last five head-to-head encounters including a resounding 5-1 win at Anfield back on December 20th of last year.

Both teams tend to find themselves involved in high-scoring games as indicated by their goals per game stats—West Ham scores an average of 1.7 goals per match while conceding about 1.9; Liverpool scores more frequently with an average of about 2.1 goals per game while conceding fewer (around only~yj~), especially when playing away where they notch up around ~). This pattern suggests another potentially action-packed encounter this weekend.

Bet

Given both team’s scoring abilities and defensive vulnerabilities—as evidenced by Liverpool's higher scoring rate (2.25) when playing away and West Ham's relatively frequent concession (1.17) at home—a bet that could offer value here is 'Over ~hj~'. Despite having lower returns compared to other options like 'Home Win' or 'Away Win', it banks on both teams' consistent performance trends rather than relying solely on who comes out victorious or if it ends as a draw (which neither team has seen much off lately). This makes 'Over ~' not only safer but potentially profitable given how these teams play.
