West Ham vs Liverpool Recent Form
Here are the last five results for both teams in all competitions. This metric gives a good idea of how the team is performing.
West Ham Recent Form(WWDDW):
- 4-0 vs Bournemouth – Premier League
- 4-1 vs AA Gent – UEFA Conference League
- 2-2 vs Arsenal – Premier League
- 1-1 vs AA Gent – UEFA Conference League
- 1-0 vs Fulham – Premier League
West Ham have shown that they can hold their own against the league number one team, Arsenal. The 2-2 draw against The Gunners shows impressive form from the burgundy-shirted team.

Liverpool has also shown decent form and especially spectacular goal-scoring ability in it’s dominating 6-1 win over Leeds. I don’t doubt that they’ll be a good match for West Ham since Liverpool also recently drew with Arsenal at Anfield, a ground where they are notorious for not losing.

BTTS Market
In the last five games that Liverpool has played, 80% of them have ended with both sides scoring during the 90 minutes. I think that at home, West Ham can take the fight to Liverpool as they’re without their infamous home advantage. West Ham is also on a 14 game streak without clean sheets against Liverpool; this is yet another statistic that shows that BTTS is a good bet for the accumulator as both sides seem to get on the scoring sheet when they meet.
BTTS Verdict: Yes
Over/Under Market
As well as both teams scoring in four of five matches in Liverpool’s matches, there have also been over 2.5 goals in 80% of their matches as well; the exception being their goalless draw to Chelsea. Overall I think that for this matchup over 2.5 goals will be safe for the accumulator. Anything above the 2.5 goal mark is a stretch and quite risky.
Over/Under Verdict: Over 2.5
Overall Winner: Liverpool
I predict that Liverpool will win with a score of 2-1 on the night.
