Betting tips for Liverpool vs West Ham - 24.02.2018

West Ham visits the Reds on Anfield Road in the match of the 28 th round of the Premier League 2017-18.

Liverpool occupies the 3rd position in the Premier League with 54 points, adding 15 wins, 9 draws and three defeats in the 27 days played, and comes to this game after winning three of the last four duels (0-3 in Huddersfield and 0 -2 in Southampton in league, 0-5 in Porto in Champions) and draw in Anfield Road against Tottenham (2-2).

Jürgen Klopp's team managed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League as first group after beating Spartak Moscow (7-0). The Reds have been intractable in attack, but his usual lack of solid defense (let go 3-0 in Seville was just an example) made him have to win that last game to secure first place.

In the Premier League, Liverpool are the second best attack of the competition with 61 goals, only behind the intractable Citizens of Manchester, who add 79 goals. However, with 31 conceded goals, the Klopp team is the second most scored team, only five fewer goals than Arsenal among those in the top 6. The Egyptian Mohamed Salah is, with 22 goals in 26 days, the top scorer of the competition.



West Ham had the worst possible start, being bottom after the first three days, which did not add a point, conceding 10 goals and only scored 2. The victory against Huddersfield Town (2-0) and the draw in their visit to West Bromwich (0-0) gave air to the Hammers, who lost at home to Tottenham (2-3) before winning at Swansea by the minimum (1-0), tied in their visit to Burnley and fell at home by newly promoted Brighton & Hove Albion (0-3) the following weekend. The draw against Crystal Palace (2-2) had no continuation, losing at London Stadium to Liverpool (1-4), a loss that cost Slaven Bilic the spot. Already last year, the Hammers had a bad season, just coinciding with his move to London Stadium. The Balkan maintained his job thanks to the fact that the team ended up avoiding getting into relegation places.

Already with David Moyes on the bench, West Ham lost on Vicarage Road, against Watford (2-0), drew at home with Leicester (1-1), was thrashed at Goodison Park (4-0) and lost by minimum before the City (2-1, with Sterling's goal in the discount), initiating a clear improvement after defeating the current champion, Chelsea (1-0), draw against the Gunners at home (0-0) and thrashing at Stoke City (0-3). In the last six games, the team has tied at 1 on three occasions, losing at Brighton and winning at Huddersfield Town (1-4) and Watford at home last weekend (2-0).

Former Austrian striker Marko Arnautovic and Mexican striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez have been the two main reinforcements of the Hammers in this summer market, in which they have received two of the Manchester City classics in the last decade: the goalkeeper international Joe Hart, on loan this season, and former captain, Pablo Zabaleta.
