West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 13 of West Ham’s 16 league matches
• Both teams have scored in 12 of Wolves’s last 13 league games
• The home teams has won nine of the last 13 meetings between this pair

Goals to flow at the London Stadium

West Ham sealed top spot in Group A of the Europa League with a 2-0 win at home to Freiburg on Thursday and three days on they must now turn their attentions to Wolves in the Premier League.

The quick turnaround must be of some advantage to Wolves and the Hammers do have to respond to their shock 5-0 mauling away at Fulham last weekend.

However, that was only the second time in 16 league games this season in which David Moyes’s side have failed to find the net.

Thirteen of those games have seen both teams score, which includes five of their last six as well as league meetings against Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham.

So, with fatigue potentially a factor over this hectic schedule, both teams to score looks a strong wager.

Wolves can make their presence felt

That bet has obliged in 12 of Wolves’s last 13 Premier League games, the only exception being a hard-fought 1-0 win at home to Burnley.

The net has bulged at both ends in each of Wolves’ last six away league matches, which includes a 2-1 loss against Arsenal at the Emirates in their most recent road trip.

Gary O’Neil’s side have carried a much greater attacking threat this season and, since losing 1-0 away at Manchester United in their opening league game of the campaign, they have scored in all 15 subsequent outings.

There have been 56 goals scored across West Ham’s 16 league games this season, which is an average of 3.5 per game, while Wolves are averaging 2.93 per outing.

That suggests this should be an entertaining encounter and both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is the approach for punters to take.

This has been a fixture for the home team down the years with nine of the last 12 meetings being won by the hosts and there not being a draw during that run.

Given Wolves have lost their last three league games, West Ham may still hold the aces and correct-score punters can side with a 2-1 home win.

Two of Wolves’ last three away league defeats at Sheffield United and Arsenal both finished that scoreline and Sunday’s showdown in the capital may well follow suit.
