Wolverhampton vs West Ham United Predictions

• Seven of West Ham’s last 11 matches featured at least three goals.
• The Hammers have kept just one clean sheet in their 19 league games this season.
• Wolves have conceded at least twice in 12 of their 19 league outings.

Wolves boosted by Old Trafford point

Wolves finally got a positive Premier League result on Tuesday when they claimed a 1-1 draw at Manchester United and the Molineux faithful would dearly love to see a first league win of the season when fellow strugglers West Ham visit the Black Country on Saturday.

Rob Edwards’s side look doomed having claimed just three points in the opening half of the season, but there have been a few straws to grasp in the last couple of weeks and they will hope that Old Trafford point will at least spur them on to beat Derby’s record for the lowest Premier League points total, which stands at 11.

They also scored in recent games against Liverpool and Arsenal, and that could help lift them to adopt a positive attitude and at least produce a game with a few goals, with one of the few highlights of the season coming in a 3-2 win over the Hammers in the EFL Cup in August.

Nuno desperate for three points

West Ham’s need for a win is plainly greater as they have a four-point gap separating them from fourth-from-bottom Nottingham Forest, who look unlikely to get anything from a difficult trip to Aston Villa.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team desperately need a win against their manager’s former club, but they have tasted victory just three times all season and their only success on the road came at Nottingham Forest in August, a 3-0 which has been their only clean sheet of the season.

They were involved in an eventful 2-2 draw with Brighton on Tuesday and with neither team untrustworthy from a betting perspective, a repeat of that may be attractive to correct-score punters, with over 2.5 goals being the main tip.

Bowen can hit bullseye for Hammers

Anytime-goalscorer enthusiasts should look no further than West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, who took his seasonal tally to six in midweek with the opener against the Seagulls.

The skipper has had more than double the number of shots than any of his colleagues in the Premier League this season and Irons supporters will be desperate for him to drag his team over the line during the second half of the campaign, starting with this must-win fixture.
