Head-to-Head
Liverpool have won 3 of the last 5 competitive meetings between the sides, drawing the other 2.
West Ham
- West Ham’s likely 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system is the antithesis of Liverpool’s preferred compact 4-3-3 or back five, and that could make for a cagey matchup at Victoria Road. This makes the West Ham United (W) vs Liverpool (W) prediction particularly interesting for punters looking for an edge.
- The Hammers focus on staying compact in defence and overloading wide areas to create half-space chances.
- Viviane Asseyi provides creativity and goals from the left.
- Katrina Gorry provides a ball-winning and tempo-setting anchor in the engine room.
- Shekiera Martinez is the main attacking threat and looks likely to provide the hammer-blows that Taylor’s side have lacked this season.
- Martinez is always a threat with her physicality and late runs and will be looking to exploit any defensive gaps for West Ham on Sunday.
Liverpool
- Liverpool have failed to win in their last five WSL games (D2, L3), drawing with fellow strugglers Chelsea and Brighton and suffering defeats to Arsenal, Spurs and an in-form Man City side. As a result, our West Ham United (W) vs Liverpool (W) betting tips point to a closely fought contest, with little to separate the teams based on recent form.
- Leanne Kiernan remains a dangerous attacking outlet for the Reds.
- Liverpool’s lack of penetration and recent defensive frailties have been obvious in the last few weeks.
- In Beata Olsson, Liverpool do have a reliable goal source in the league and she’s their top scorer.
