Liverpool vs. West Ham picks and predictions
Prediction
Liverpool 3, West Ham 1
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
There’s no value on the moneyline.
West Ham has a good record and sat 6th in the league coming into the weekend, but it hasn’t performed well against top-tier competition. It lost 3-1 to Manchester City at home last weekend.
West Ham is one of the better mid-tier sides, but Liverpool should be able to win this game with relative ease. Liverpool was a strong 13-5-1 at home last season.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (-105).
Liverpool averaged 1.97 goals per game last season, and it is topping that through 5 games. It is averaging 2.40 goals per game and has scored 3 or more in 3 of its last 4. It has had 2.5 or more expected goals in 3 of its last 4 as well.
Liverpool’s defense is competent, but it has allowed a goal in all but one game as well. A similar style of play can be said of West Ham. The West Ham attack should be able to get one through as it has had success this season, averaging 2.0 goals per game. It has also allowed a goal in every game.
Both defenses have been average as both attacks have ramped up as the season has continued. Take OVER 3.5 (-105).
