Bolton vs West Ham United Predictions

Bolton could be hammered

Bolton were battered 4-0 at Millwall on Saturday and the Trotters may be heading for another heavy defeat when West Ham head for the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Tuesday night. 

It has been a tough start to the campaign for the Whites, who have taken only four points from their opening five second-tier matches and were beaten by Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the EFL Cup. 

A win and a draw from five Championship matches is not a disastrous record, but the performances of Bolton do raise an alarm. 

Steven Schumacher’s side hit only two shots and created an expected goals figure of only 0.19 in their 0-0 second-tier draw at QPR. 

Bolton conceded seven times and allowed xG numbers of 2.21 and 2.63 in defeats to Sheffield United and Millwall and it’s not difficult to think that West Ham will be relishing an opportunity to get at the Whites’ defence. 

The Hammers have found their stride, beating a good Wolves side 4-2 and ramming Derby 3-0 last time out. 

The Irons were rampant against the Rams, hitting an xG of 3.79 and nailing 20 shots on goal. 

This looks a spot to get with a high-scoring West Ham win and over 3.5 goals is a play.
