Wolves vs West Ham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-03-31 18:45.
[p]Nine points above the relegation zone, and with the bottom three struggling so badly, it’s highly likely that Wolves will be playing Premier League football again next season. They’re nowhere near mathematically safe just yet but could take a huge stride towards safety with a fifth win from the last seven home H2Hs against West Ham (L2), although they did lose this corresponding fixture 2-1 last season. [/p]
[p]Not since a run of three between 1920 and 1922 have Wolves lost successive home league H2Hs, but considering only the bottom three have won fewer points at home in the Premier League this season, then that record could come under threat here. Points may not be guaranteed, but fans have been entertained watching Wolves this season, with their games seeing a joint-league high 98 goals (F:40, A:58). [/p]
[p]Sitting just above Wolves in the table, albeit eight points clear of them, West Ham have little left to play for this season, aside from finishing as high as they can. With just one defeat across their last four games (W2, D1), new boss Graham Potter is starting to make his mark on the Hammers, although that’s not necessarily made for great football, as two or fewer total goals have been scored in seven of their last eight league games. In fact, 23 of Potter’s last 29 managerial games in the Premier League saw under 2.5 goals![/p]
[p]West Ham have won their last three midweek Premier League games (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and their chances of making that four for the first time since May 2021 increase further when considering that Potter has won his last two personal managerial H2Hs against Wolves by the same 3-0 scoreline with two different clubs. However, a repeat scoreline would go against the grain for a West Ham side who have averaged a comfortable league-low 1.75 goals per game across the last eight rounds.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jørgen Strand Larsen netted a brace against Southampton before the international break (W 2-1), in what is the only winning scoring appearance to his name for the club (W1, D2, L4). West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen is just one assist away from becoming the club’s outright leading goal provider in Premier League history – he’s currently tied on 35 with Mark Noble and both scored and assisted in the reverse H2H.  [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Wolves have won six of their last eight Tuesday-held Premier League games (L2). [/p]
