In a highly competitive race for promotion, Liverpool has surged to the top of the EFL Cup standings, thanks to an outstanding run of eight victories in their last nine matches.
During this stretch, they’ve been unbeatable at home, winning all five of their games at Anfield. In stark contrast, West Ham has struggled away from home, losing 11 of their 14 away games this season.
Liverpool has been involved in high-scoring matches at home, with 19 of their last 20 fixtures featuring over 2.5 goals. Similarly, West Ham has seen more than 2.5 goals in 17 of their last 20 away games, including a recent 2-2 draw.
West Ham’s games are rarely short on action, with both teams scoring in 13 of their last 16 top-tier matches. This trend is expected to continue, as seven of Liverpool’s last 10 home games have also featured goals from both sides.
Prediction
Liverpool’s manager will aim to maintain the team’s momentum, having already secured three wins in their last eight home games. West Ham, with just two points from their last 45 away from home, appears to be a favorable matchup for Liverpool.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
