Wolverhampton vs West Ham United Predictions
- Wolves have won just one of their last eight Premier League games
- Six of West Ham’s nine away games this season have gone under 2.5 goals
- Wolves are the lowest-scorers in the Premier League, netting just 11 times
Wolves need to discover goalscoring touch
Despite finishing tenth last season Wolves have struggled this time around, sitting in 19th at almost the halfway point of the season. Julen Lopetegui has been brought in as manager to turn the fortunes around of the Midlands club and his number one priority must be getting Wolves to score more goals.
Having netted just 36 and 38 goals respectively across the last two seasons, Wolves have netted just 11 goals in this campaign, the fewest in the Premier League, and the side will have to score more if they are to turn around their season. Lopetegui’s men have won just one of their last eight Premier League games and have lost five of those so a turnaround in fortunes is needed if his side are to avoid the drop.
Hammers need a win
Wolves aren’t the only team in this game who have had a difficult first half of the season, West Ham have lost five of their last six Premier League games and currently sit just outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.
Goals have been an issue for the Hammers also, they have netted just 15 in 18 games as Michail Antonio has failed to live up to previous seasons and new signing Gianluca Scamacca is yet to justify his price tag. Injuries in defence have also cost David Moyes’ men, who will see this match as a potential turning point in their season.
Wolves’ lack of goal threat may hurt them
Wolves have undoubtedly improved under Julen Lopetegui but their lack of out-and-out goal threats will continue to hurt them this season and with West Ham having their defensive ranks boosted by the form of Nayef Aguerd for this clash. The centre back was a key part of Morocco’s run to the World Cup semi-finals and is a key part of the Hammers back line.
Given the fact that six of West Ham’s nine away games this season have gone under 2.5 goals and Wolves have struggled to find the net, another low-scoring affair looks likely in this clash.
The Hammers can put their best foot forward with a victory over a Wolves side that have struggled this season, take David Moyes’ men to get a 2-0 victory in this crucial clash.
- Wolverhampton have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four Premier League home games
- Four of Wolverhampton’s last six Premier League games have ended with under 2.5 goals
