West Ham vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (29 December)

Often able to join the race for European places in recent years, West Ham is not there at the moment. On the contrary, the residents of the Olympic Stadium in London are forced to wander in the second part of the table, already quite behind the top 6 before challenging the red lantern, Southampton, on Thursday, on the occasion of Boxing Day. That said, the Hammers have been able to go 3 games without the slightest setback in recent times. Victorious against Wolverhampton 2-1, Alphonse Areola's partners then took points against Bournemouth 1-1 and Brighton 1-1. Liverpool, for their part, are walking on water this year.

Leader of the Champions League and first team already qualified directly for the 1/8 finals of the competition, this Mersey team is also at the top of this Premier League with 4 units ahead of its first pursuer, Chelsea, and this despite his 2 small hiccups against Newcastle 3-3 and Fulham 2-2. On the other hand, the Reds perfectly resumed their march forward by emerging victorious from a fierce duel with Tottenham last weekend 3-6. In the middle of the week, Arne Slot's players will aim for new success by hosting Leicester.

West Ham obviously still has to do without Jamaican striker Antonio who was the victim of a road accident at the beginning of the month and who may no longer be on the field. The Greek defender Mavropanos, uncertain on Thursday during Boxing Day, is also likely to remain at the dock this weekend. Conversely, former Lyon playmaker Lucas Paqueta (3 goals, 3 assists) will be back after being suspended this week.

The very important Bowen (4 goals and 4 assists in PL) and the dynamic Ghanaian Kudus (2 goals in PL) should be called up. Same thing for German international Fullkrug (1 goal in PL).
