LiontipsLiverpool vs West Ham. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 19, 2022).
Command Analysis
Last weekend, we witnessed a dramatic game between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. The Reds eked out a (1:0) victory, thus ending Man City's unbeaten streak. This was an extremely emotional match, and Jurgen Klopp was even sent off as tempers boiled over.
The Reds have an excellent home record. The team hasn't lost at Anfield in 28 games and averages 2.57 goals per home game. Since 1963, they lost only one out of 49 home games against West Ham.
It is strange to see Liverpool so low on the log - they are currently in 8th place with 13 points. In the Champions League, the Reds are second in their group. Last week, they thrashed Rangers (7:1).
Diaz, Matip, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Konate, Arthur, and Diego Jota are all out injured.
Even though West Ham spent 165 million euros over the summer, it does not seem to have made a big difference. Five of the Londoners' first seven Premier League games were lost. David Moyes' men are particularly weak on road trips - they were defeated in nine of the previous 12 away games.
The Hammers are currently in 12th place in the table with 11 points from three wins and two draws. On average, they scored under one goal per game, which is one of the worst offensive record in the league so far. But in the Conference League, West Ham won four group games and secured a tickets to the playoffs.
Aguerd, Dawson, and Cornet will miss this game.

Tip and bets
Liverpool need to strengthen their standings and will strive to capitalize on their home advantage today. Despite the slow start to the season, the Reds remain one of the strongest sides in the Premier League. We predict their victory in the upcoming match.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (-1) to Liverpool
We think that West Ham will focus on their defenses and try to hold the Reds to a draw, but the home team is desperate for points and will go all out on offense. Liverpool won't be happy with a one-goal win and try to secure a wider margin.
Second bet — Liverpool to win by 2 goals
