PREVIEW & PREDICTION – Liverpool vs West Ham 24/02/2018

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Liverpool and West Ham United meet on “Anfield,” in what it claims to be an unbalanced match. The tour was 4-1 for “cormorants” in London and Jurgen Klopp’s team seems to be in good shape.

Let’s note that Liverpool has scored 8 goals in the last two matches with West Ham United and has a very good balance lately. Liverpool is coming 3-0 at Huddersfield, a 2-2 unlucky Tottenham, a 2-0 at Southampton and a 5-0 convincing FC Porto in the Champions League. Klopp has resolved the defensive problems of the team, and West Ham is an opponent who can be kept in the squad. It’s been many years since West Ham lost to Liverpool and logical arguments tilted to continue the invincible series.

Liverpool has 3 wins in the last 4 championship matches, Salah and Firmino are in very good shape and the stake is huge. “The Cormorants” are engaging in UCL and are fighting for a place on the podium, being now in 3rd place (giolaveraj 61-31). On the other hand, West Ham escaped relegation worries, but also out of 12th place (34-46 golaver) still needs points to stay quiet. West Ham is not the kind of supernumerary team, and Liverpool is likely to find fault with the David Moyes guys. Londoners also have batch quality, which can cause problems for the hosts.

West Ham could come back to Chicharito.

West Ham played well in the last match, 2-0 with Watford, and scored a series of 5 consecutive matches without victory. Although the expression of “hammers” is not always consistent, technique and speed are not lacking, and Liverpool can not continue the perfect defensive play endlessly. We are expecting a victory with goals on both sides. Liverpool has not lost 15 home games, managing to score at least 2 goals in 9 of the last 10 games played in front of their fans.

Liverpool is also defeated in 16 of the last 17 matches played with West Ham, the difference between the two being pretty clear in recent years. Since both bands are usually engaged in spectacular matches, we will bet accordingly and make a profit on goals.

Liverpool: Karius – Gomez, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson – Can, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain – Firmino, Salah, Mane

West Ham: Adrian – Cresswell, Ogbonna, Reid, Zabaleta – Kouyate – Mario, Lanzini, M. Antonio – Chicharito, Arnautovic


PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.41
