In a highly competitive race for promotion, Liverpool has climbed to the top of the EFL Cup standings with an impressive streak of eight wins from their last nine games.
During this run, they have been particularly dominant at home, winning all five of their matches on home soil. In stark contrast, West Ham has struggled away from home, losing 11 of their 14 away games this season.
Liverpool’s home fixtures have been consistently high-scoring, with 19 of their last 20 matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Similarly, West Ham’s away games have followed the same pattern, with 17 of their last 20 matches also producing more than 2.5 goals, including a recent 2-2 draw.
West Ham’s matches tend to be action-packed, with both teams finding the back of the net in 13 of their last 16 top-tier games. This is a trend likely to continue, as seven of Liverpool’s last 10 home games at this level have also featured goals from both sides.
Prediction
Liverpool’s manager will be keen to keep the team’s momentum going, having already secured three wins in their last eight home matches.
West Ham, having picked up just two points from a possible 45 on the road, seems like a favorable opponent for Liverpool to continue their strong form.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
