A season that promised so much for Liverpool looks like it could end up with them only winning the Carabao Cup - a competition that not many Premier League teams care about nowadays. They needed to win their remaining matches to be in with a shout of claiming the EPL title and giving Jurgen Klopp the send-off that he deserves, but a shock defeat to Everton on Wednesday evening has probably done for them. They need to pick themselves off the canvas because on Saturday afternoon they have to take on West Ham at the London Stadium. Below you can find out what I think will happen in this match.
🏆 West Ham vs Liverpool: Who Will Win?
The Hammers have lost their last two matches, but they are still in with an outside chance of qualifying for the Europa Conference League, which they happened to win last season. However, Manchester United and Newcastle have two games in hand, so there is a chance that they will miss out on Europe for the first time in four seasons. They were thrashed 5-2 by Crystal Palace in their last match, so they will be looking to salvage a bit of pride against Liverpool on Saturday.
A few weeks ago, Liverpool knew that all they had to do was win their remaining EPL matches and they would be crowned champions. However, they suffered a big setback in a 1-0 defeat to Palace and then salt was added to Liverpool fans' wounds as they were dumped out of the Europa League by Atalanta. They were still in with a shot of winning the league, but an unexpected 2-0 loss to Everton, who are battling relegation, has sunk them into the mire even more. It will be interesting to see whether they have the character to bounce back from a chastening ten days.
Liverpool's form has dropped off a cliff and West Ham will fancy their chances against them. Most punters and bookies will be backing Liverpool to win, but I can see the Hammers putting the final nail in Liverpool's coffin. As for the scoreline, I am going to go for a standard 2-1 win for the home side.
My Prediction: 🏆West Ham 2 Liverpool 1 ⚽
💯 West Ham vs Liverpool Match Odds
When West Ham travelled to Anfield last September to take on Liverpool in the EPL, they ended up heading back down south with nothing to show for their endeavours as they were on the end of a 3-1 defeat. Liverpool dominated from start to finish and Salah opened the scoring in the 16th minute from the penalty spot. However, thanks to a Bowen goal in the 42nd minute, the scores were level at the break. In the second half, goals from Nunez and Jota sealed the points for Jurgen Klopp's men, stretching their unbeaten run to 18 matches.
All new UK betting sites and established ones will offer their football bettors a variety of markets and enticing odds for EPL matches due to how popular it is. Not all bookies have been cut from the same cloth though, which is why below you will find five of the best UK bookies around and their odds for three highly popular football betting markets.
🏅 West Ham vs Liverpool: Match Winner Odds
Since 26 points separate these teams in the EPL table it is fair enough that the bookies have Liverpool as the favourites to win this match. However, with the form that they are currently showing, I think that the long odds for a West Ham win are a little bit insulting to the home side. The bookies think that they have no chance of getting anything out of the game, but this gives us plenty of betting value. Below are the match winner odds for this West Ham vs Liverpool game:
Team | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
West Ham | 5.15 | 5.15 | 5.50 | 5.75 | 5.75 |
Draw | 4.70 | 4.70 | 4.75 | 4.50 | 4.60 |
Liverpool | 1.52 | 1.52 | 1.55 | 1.52 | 1.52 |
⚽ West Ham vs Liverpool: Both Teams To Score Odds
Goals are definitely not hard to come by in the EPL, which is a feature that makes it one of the most entertaining football leagues out there. There has been an average of just over 3.00 goals per match in this season's Premier League, so you will not be surprised to find out that the bookmakers are pretty certain that both teams will score in this match. I also think this is highly likely, and you can find the both teams to score odds in the table below:
BTTS | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Yes | 1.45 | 1.45 | 1.45 | 1.48 | 1.54 |
No | 2.61 | 2.61 | 2.55 | 2.38 | 2.43 |
🥅 West Ham vs Liverpool: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
The bookmakers are even more certain that there will be over 2.5 goals scored in this match. However, they are less certain that there will be over 3.5 goals scored. The odds that you can see in the table below, coupled with the odds that are on offer for the match winner and BTTS market, tell us that the bookies think the most likely outcome for this match is a 2-1 win for Liverpool. However, with such a close scoreline, I am not entirely sure where they get their match winner odds from.
Over/Under 2.5 Goals | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Over 2.5 | 1.37 | 1.37 | 1.40 | 1.37 | 1.38 |
Under 2.5 | 2.85 | 2.85 | 2.90 | 2.80 | 2.85 |
✔️ West Ham vs Liverpool - Betting Tips
Below you will find four of my top betting tips for this West Ham vs Liverpool match. Whether you are going to bet with your own money or a free bet, it is always worth your while to check out what some experienced football tipsters are predicting for the match in question. You do not need to agree with everything, but it will allow you to place a more educated wager.
- Tip 1: Bet on West Ham to win: The bookmakers have West Ham as the big underdogs for this match, but I see plenty of betting value on backing them to win. From the 17 home matches that the Hammers have played this season, they have lost just four of them, so they are not an easy team to defeat at the London Stadium. Liverpool do have a decent away record, but I just think this loss to Everton will not be easy for them to overcome. They are fragile at the moment, and West Ham will be looking to pounce on that. If you want to back West Ham to win, then BetUK Sports are offering odds of 5.75 at present.
- Tip 2: Back both teams to score: 71% of Liverpool's away matches have seen both teams find the back of the net, while 68% of West Ham's home matches have had the same outcome. Seven of Liverpool's previous ten matches in the league this season has seen them concede and score, while eight of West Ham's last ten games have seen both teams score. Neither team has been keeping many clean sheets lately, so both teams scoring is a high possibility and BetUK Sports are offering odds of 1.54.
- Tip 3: Bet on Jarrod Bowen to score: The West Ham player who has impressed me the most this season has been Jarrod Bowen, and there is a really good chance that he will be on the plane to Germany this summer for the Euros. He has been in the form of his life, scoring a total of 19 goals in all competitions and he will be relishing coming up against a Liverpool defence which has been sloppy as of late. Those who want to back Bowen to score can find odds of 3.75 at LeoVegas Sports.
- Tip 4: Bet on West Ham to win 2-1: In normal circumstances, I would back Liverpool to win this match, but after their devastating loss to Everton on Wednesday I can see their season completely petering out. West Ham will be right up for this match as they will see it as a great opportunity to pick up a big scalp, and I do not think Liverpool will cope with the pressure. I can see the Hammers snatching a 2-1 win, and Betiton Sport are offering odds of 14.10 for this outcome.
N.B. Gamble responsibly. Never gamble with money that you cannot afford to lose. When the fun stops, stop!
1️⃣West Ham Update
All of the talk lately has been about Klopp leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, but it is also very likely that West Ham will replace David Moyes in the summer. The Scot has done a remarkable job with the Hammers, leading them to European glory last season, but many fans still want him out, and that is likely what is going to happen. He would like to depart having led them to yet another season in Europe, but a third consecutive defeat would probably put an end to that dream as the teams around them have games in hand.
They are 13th in the EPL form table having picked up three wins, three draws, and four defeats from their previous ten matches. During this time, they have conceded more goals than they have scored, so they will need to address that issue if they are to sneak into a European spot. Below are their previous five EPL results:
Last 5 Premier League Games | |
---|---|
Crystal Palace5 West Ham2 | 21.04.24 |
West Ham0 Fulham2 | 14.04.24 |
Wolves1 West Ham2 | 06.04.24 |
West Ham1 Tottenham Hotspur1 | 02.04.24 |
Newcastle4 West Ham3 | 30.03.24 |
Moyes has been quite fortunate on the injury front as he has just three players who will be missing for this match against Liverpool. You can see these in the table below:
Player | Reason |
---|---|
Nayef Aguerd | Ankle Injury |
George Earthy | Head Injury |
Konstantinos Mavrapanos | Knock |
2️⃣Liverpool Update
What makes football such an exciting sport to watch is the fact that a few bad results can completely derail a season. A few weeks ago, Liverpool were looking to send Klopp off with the EPL and Europa League title to add to their Carabao Cup success, but they are now out of Europe and their EPL dreams are hanging by a thread. You need to be on it at every match at this level, and two bad weeks have more or less turned Liverpool's season into a very disappointing one.
They are currently third in the EPL form table, but the two defeats in the space of three matches have done a lot of damage. They cannot give up yet though as you never know what will happen in the Premier League - maybe City and Arsenal will end up dropping unexpected points. Below are their previous five EPL results:
Last 5 Premier League Games | |
---|---|
Everton2 Liverpool0 | 24.04.24 |
Fulham1 Liverpool3 | 22.04.24 |
Liverpool0 Crystal Palace1 | 19.04.24 |
Manchester United2 Liverpool2 | 07.04.24 |
Liverpool3 Sheffield United1 | 04.04.24 |
Which players will Klopp not be able to call upon for this match against West Ham in the capital? Well, you can see all of their current absentees in the following table:
Player | Reason |
---|---|
Joel Matip | Knee Injury |
Thiago Alcantara | Thigh Injury |
Ben Doak | Knee Injury |
Conor Bradley | Knee Injury |
Cody Gakpo | Personal Reasons |
Digo Jota | Hip Injury |
