Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips (25 September)

In what is becoming an extremely competitive race for promotion, a run of eight wins in nine games has catapulted Liverpool to the top of the EFL Cup standings, with the current coach charges emerging victorious from all five of their home matches during this period. West Ham, meanwhile, have lost 11 times in 14 third-tier trips this season.

One area in which Liverpool have proven incredibly consistent recently is in their involvement in top-flight home fixtures containing over 2.5 goals, with this being the case in 19 of their last 20 matches. This has also been the case in 17 of the previous 20 West Ham away games at this level, including in a 2 gols draw last month.

West Ham are rarely involved in dull encounters, with 13 of their previous 16 top-flight fixtures serving up goals at both ends of the pitch, and there is every reason to expect more of the same against these opponents. That is because seven of the last ten Liverpool home matches at this level have followed suit.
