West Ham United - Liverpool predictions

West Ham United are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Premier League, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.33, it’s not very likely to happen.

The most likely outcome of this match is Liverpool walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

West Ham thought they could pull off a major surprise in the last Premier League round. They were leading at the halftime of a very difficult trip but could not hold onto the lead for the full 90 minutes and had to settle for a AFC Bournemouth daw.

Things went downhill quickly for The Reds in the last round against Nottingham Forest. The biggest online bookmakers saw them as huge favourites to pick up three points but they ended up losing the plot in the early game. Having gone behind in the first half, they failed to recover and in the end recorded a harsh 0:3 away loss.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at London Stadium this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Liverpool’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Being in the relegation zone is not yet a disaster for West Ham because the season is still in its early stages. However, walking away with 3 points this Sunday will be quite difficult, which makes their job of earning 0 points all the more difficult.

The season is still in its early stages but Liverpool want to make their ambitions clear. Currently 2 points behind a place in Europe, they will be eager to get at it right from the start. Three points this Sunday would definitely help them in their European campaign.

A quick look at the previous season’s match history makes the 1.78 odds for an away win quite understandable. The Reds handily beat The Hammers on multiple occasions, decisively proving to be the favourites in this matchup.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.50 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
