Our betting predictions for Liverpool vs West Brom Premier League match are:
Liverpool vs West Brom Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• West Brom have been one of the lowest scoring sides in the league with only ten goals in fourteen games. Liverpool, after a shaky start, have now conceded only three goals in their last six games, keeping clean sheets against brilliant sides like Leicester and Wolves. Therefore one of the safest bets of the match is Liverpool to keep a clean sheet at odds of 1.55 (betway).
• Sadio Mane has seventeen shots on target in twelve starts for Liverpool and has found his form in the last two matches. Grady Diangana has been one of the main attackers for West Brom averaging almost one shot per game. Hence we suggest betting on Sadio Mane and Diangana to have over two shots on target combined at odds of 2.30 (WilliamHill).
• Mohammed Salah scored in his fifth consecutive match, netting two goals against West Brom after coming on at the 60th minute. He has scored thirteen goals in thirteen league games and will be looking to extend his lead in the golden boot race against a weak West Brom defence, who have conceded the second highest amount of goals in the league this season. Hence another safe bet is on him to score at odds of 1.53 (WilliamHill).
Quick Rich
• One of the best ways to earn big returns on a match is betting on the exact scoreline. We expect Liverpool to dominate the match even though West Brom have appointed Sam Allardyce as their manager last week. Hence we predict the exact score to be Liverpool 4-0 West Brom at odds of 8.00 (WilliamHill).
• Liverpool have earned 84 corners in the league this season at an average of six corners earned per match, while West Brom have earned an average of four corners per match this season. Therefore betting on both teams earn over four corners in the match at odds of 7.00 (WilliamHil), gives high returns at minimal risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Liverpool are clear favourites to win the game and will be well rested for the match against West Brom. The odds of a Liverpool win are one of the lowest at odds of 1.11 (betway) and though it is the safest bet, gives almost no returns on your investment.
Bet During the Match
If Firmino is rested against West Brom as Liverpool face a tough challenge against Newcastle after four days and Origi starts in his place,we suggest betting on him to score at odds of 2.10 (betway)
