West Ham United vs Liverpool Predictions

• West Ham have scored 10 goals across their last three games.
• Liverpool have hit 11 across their last three.
• Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in West Ham’s last three fixtures in all competitions.
• Diogo Jota has four goals and an assist in his last two appearances.

Improving pair meet at London Stadium

West Ham and Liverpool meet at the London Stadium on Wednesday and both of these sides have managed to find a bit of form of late.

Seven points from the last available nine have seen the Hammers move clear of danger, as they sit six points above the bottom three with a game in hand, while Liverpool are seeking a third straight win and they could yet force their way into the European spots before the season comes to a close.

Go for goals in the capital

West Ham brushed Bournemouth aside with a 4-0 win at the weekend and they are now unbeaten in five across all competitions after overcoming Belgium’s Gent in the Europa Conference League.

Liverpool are on a four-game unbeaten run themselves (W2, D2) so the goals markets look the best option for this fixture rather than a match result, and over 2.5 goals stands out.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in each of West Ham’s last three games and they have scored 10 times themselves during that period. Liverpool have struck 11 times across their last three fixtures and their league games are averaging 3.1 goals-per-game.

Visitors may have the edge

Liverpool overcame Nottingham Forest 3-2 at the weekend but they perhaps could have won by a bigger margin, and prior to that they won 6-1 at Leeds.

The Reds have won six of the last seven meetings between these sides and with a top five finish still possible they should be motivated for this trip, so a 2-1 win for the away side is the correct score selection.

Liverpool’s return to form has coincided with a good period for Diogo Jota and he has managed four goals in his last two appearances. The Portugal international has also managed an assist in that run, meaning he has made a direct contribution to five of Liverpool’s last nine goals and ge can continue his hot-streak with a goal at West Ham on Wednesday.
