Liverpool vs West Ham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-12 13:00.
[p]Liverpool’s season has taken a sour turn recently, having suffered three losses from their last four matches (W1) after a 3-2 reverse against Fulham. Unlike the defeats in the UEFA Champions League and the Carabao Cup final that extinguished those trophy bids, Liverpool will see any setbacks in the Premier League as simply delaying the inevitable since they still boast an 11-point lead over Arsenal pre-round with just seven games remaining.[/p]
[p]With four of those games at Anfield, the Reds will be confident of getting over the line on their home form alone having dropped points just three times on their own turf in the league this season (W12, D2, L1). The arrival of West Ham should have the Kop in good spirits, since Liverpool have lost just one of their last 57 home H2Hs (W42, D14), winning each of the last nine. [/p]
[p]West Ham arrive in less than favourable form to contend with that record, with no wins in their last four league outings (D2, L2). Boss Graham Potter saw his side surrender the lead in both of those draws, with the Hammers remaining down in 16th place as a result and on course for their joint-worst Premier League finish since returning to the division in 2012, although they’re in no danger of being dragged into the bottom three.[/p]
[p]Hitting the road doesn’t appear as though it’ll do West Ham any favours as they’ve won just four of their last 21 away games in all competitions (D5, L12). Just two failures to score from their 17 road fixtures this term indicates they’ll at least pose a threat on Merseyside, while they also found the net on their last two visits to Anfield, albeit conceding five each time.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: With ten of his last 12 Liverpool goals coming at Anfield, Cody Gakpo will fancy himself to score against West Ham again having already done so three times this season. The visitors’ hopes usually hang on Jarrod Bowen, and this occasion is no different since he’s been involved in six of their last nine goals against Liverpool (G3, A3). [/p]
[p]Hot streak: There have been over 3.5 goals scored in each of the last five H2Hs. [/p]
