Liverpool FC vs West Ham United Prediction: Semi-Final spot up for grabs

Nothing is better than football on a Wednesday evening under the Anfield Floodlights. It might not be a European night, but this promises to offer up a lot of atmosphere, drama, and world class players on display. Coaches David Moyes and Jurgen Klopp will be eyeing that Semi Final spot, and you can expect fireworks when the referee blows the whistle at kick off.  

Here are markets to consider adding to your bet slip…

Liverpool FC vs West Ham United Match Odds

Liverpool FC head into this game on the back of a frustrating draw at home against Manchester United. A game that had everything but goals. Jurgen Klopp will feel like his team has a point to prove in this match. Last season the Reds were trophyless while their biggest domestic rivals went on to lift the treble. The reds will not take any trophy for granted this season.

West Ham United under David Moyes have found a new lease on life. They look like more than just a midtable side. They have become a more ambitious outfit that can hurt any of the big sides. They are the current holders of the UEFA Europa Conference League, and they will feel that they can challenge teams like Liverpool in matches of this nature.

Ahead of kick off the odds for this match are set as follows. Liverpool is at 9/20 home win, 4/1 draw and 26/5 West Ham United away win.

Double Chance – Home or Draw 13/100 

Recent history has not been kind to West Ham United with the last four fixtures between these two sides ending with a Liverpool win. The last time West Ham were victorious against Liverpool was in November of 2021. That will not discourage West Ham much, especially considering their recent form in all competitions.  

They boost a record of 1 loss and 1 draw in their last 7 matches. They put 3 goals past Wolves last weekend, and they will hope to bring their goals scoring boots to this match. However, I am not convinced this result will slip out of Liverpool FC’s Hands and that is why I have opted to go with the Home or Draw 13/100 double chance. 

Anytime Goal scorer – Cody Gakpo 63/50

A player that can make a difference in this matchup is Cody Gakpo. the Dutch utility man has played several roles under Jurgen Klopp watch. He has been deployed as a False 9, left winger, attacking midfielder and box to box midfielder.

This versatility has seen him make 21 appearances for the Reds in all competitions this season. Scoring 6 goals and providing 2 assists. He is yet to find the back of the net in the month of December, but you cannot help but expect him too. The odds on him being an anytime goal scorer in this match is set at 63/50.  

Anytime Goal Scorer – Mohammed Kudus 37/10 

If you were to describe Mohammed Kudus at West Ham United. The best description would be “the one that flew under the radar.” With goals lacking at rivals like Chelsea and Manchester United. Kudus is a player those teams would appreciate having in their ranks.

He has made 24 appearances in all competitions, managing 12 goals and 2 assists. He will come into this tie confident after scoring twice to help his team secure all three points against Wolves on the weekend. The odds of him being an anytime goal scorer in this match is at 37/10.  

Corner – 3 Way 21/100 

If Liverpool’s performance on the weekend is anything to go by. This is a must have market on your bet slip this Wednesday night. Liverpool ended the game with 12 corners to Manchester United 0. A team that creates as many chances as Liverpool does it garuanteed to have a lot of corners in the match. The odds-on Liverpool FC having the bulk of the corners in this match is 21/100.
