West Ham v Liverpool Betting Tips [27 April 2024]

Liverpool won’t have much recovery time to redeem their Premier League title chase, as they are set to travel to West Ham United next. Placed second, Liverpool are three points behind leaders Arsenal while West Ham United are eighth on 48. West Ham United have struggled to cope with the high standards they set last season but retain faint hopes for Europe. A 5-2 defeat to Crystal Palace last time out was crushing to those ambitions. It was particularly tough, coming on the aftermath of their Europa League elimination at the quarters. Heading into this game, they are winless in four, having lost three of those. Their last 21 matches have returned just four wins and this will be another tough outing. While they’ll want to improve on recent results, their defensive output hasn’t been the best. The Hammers have no clean sheet in their last eight matches, conceding more than once in four. Playing at home in the Premier League is no longer a guarantee for three points. West Ham have managed just one win in the last eight league games at home. They failed to score in three of the said eight matches.

This will be the third meeting between these two sides this season. In the first two, Liverpool registered comfortable wins. The most recent of their meetings was in the League Cup in December, Liverpool winning 5-1. They had earlier in September beaten West Ham 3-1 in their league meeting. Coming into this game, Liverpool have five straight wins against West Ham and just one loss in 16 meetings. That is the run they’ll want to count on, coming into this fixture after falling three points off the title race. The Reds are coming from a crushing 2-0 defeat at Everton and could find themselves third by the time they meet West Ham. It is not just the two wins in six matches that have crushed Liverpool’s morale coming here. Jurgen Klopp’s side has suffered defeats in three of their last five matches and failed to score in those losses. Fortunately for them, their away run in the league isn’t so bad. Liverpool have seven wins in their last 10 away league games.

Liverpool may be coming from a troubled period but they remain favorites here. They have a good run against West Ham United, who have been shaky in recent times. There are slim hopes for the title as far as Liverpool are concerned and they won’t want to blow those off. That’s why we feel the West Ham United v Liverpool game will go Liverpool’s way.
