Liverpool v West Ham Betting Tips [20 December 2023]

Liverpool will host West Ham United in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarterfinals, seeking a return to victory after two winless outings. Seeking a place in the semis, Liverpool will be reflecting on the missed chance to return to the Premier League summit following a frustrating 0-0 draw with Manchester United. Profligacy in front of goal cost them maximum points in the game having aimed 34 shots at United’s goal. Frustration was however not present in their last Carabao Cup clash as they breezed past Leicester City with a 3-1 win. The competition’s most successful side is however likely to rotate the squad with a heavy festive schedule in the horizon.

West Ham United arrive for this clash oozing with confidence after their 3-0 thumping of Wolves over the weekend. This came after a 2-0 win over Freiburg in the Europa League which earned them qualification and top spot in Group A. The two teams have already met this season with Liverpool walking away 3-1 winners in the early weeks of the season. The Hammers have been in fine cup form, dismantling Arsenal 3-1 in the Carabao Cup Round of 16. They however face a Liverpool side keen to make amends for the draw against Manchester United and an earlier loss to Union Saint-Gilloise.

Both teams’ attacks have been prolific with Liverpool coming with a strong home form. High scoring matches have been the order for these two sides lately and we expect the same here. Our prediction for Liverpool v West Ham United is a win for Liverpool and over 2.5 goals.
