Game Prediction

For instance, the next round of the EFL Cup has been scheduled for midweek in England. And the last semi-finalist will be known on Wednesday. This ticket will be contested by Liverpool and West Ham. The readers of the website have access to a detailed prediction for this match on December 20, 2023.
Liverpool is showing the level of a real giant again
“The Merseysiders” are fighting primarily in the Premier League this season. They failed there in the previous draw, finishing outside the top 4 of the final table. Nowadays, it’s not just possible to win back the positions – Klopp’s team, demonstrating the ability to “snatch” victories in the end, often in a strong-willed style, overtook its misfiring competitors and topped the Premier League table. Not for long, however, a 0-0 draw in the confrontation with Manchester United sent it lower than Arsenal. At the same time, the British club, actively using the reserves, proceeded calmly, as expected, to the play-offs of the Europa League. And it has not lost the EFL Cup yet, although the team has played with not the easiest opponents there (first, with Leicester and, then, with Bournemouth).
West Ham looks pretty stable now
“The Hammers” were hanging around the relegation zone a year ago. Then, only the previous merits seemed to save Moyes from resignation. And the experienced Scottish specialist justified the trust, managing to bring the club its first trophy in a long time, and also the European Cup – the Conference League trophy. This time, the British club has quite confidently overcome the barrier of the group stage of the more prestigious Europa League. At the same time, it is without such “swings” as it happened in 2022/2023 at the inner arena. Of course, there are failures up to a 0-5 score in the struggle with Fulham, but overall the team manages to stay at the top of the Premier League table. And, having rehabilitated in the battle against Wolverhampton (3-0), it appeared in 8th place. As for the EFL Cup, “the Hammers” beat the status rival, neighbouring Arsenal, in the previous round.
